Hello friends, it’s time for your less than annual Paper Ceilings update.

First, last year, I reissued A Brief History of Paper Ceilings on CD with an updated tracklisting and a 32-page color booklet with liner notes and all sorts of goodies.

The plan was to release A Brief History, Vol. II at the same time or shortly after, however, “shortly after” turned into a year later. Anyway, the sequel is finally available and has a bunch of songs from 2017-2022. The physical copies won’t be shipping for a few more weeks still, but the digital is available on Bandcamp now and includes a PDF copy of the liner notes.

Lastly, the next Paper Ceilings performance will be on May 23, 2025 for Dubb Nubb Fest at PPHQ in St. Louis. If you don’t know how to get to PPHQ, feel free to send me an email for directions, though I’ve heard tell that there may be a song that can tell you where to go.

Oh, and I almost forgot – in January, I released a single with two new tracks on it: “Cool T-Shirt” and “Cat Café”! You can stream it below.

Hello friends, Paper Ceilings will be performing at the Googolplexia 20th anniversary tour kickoff at Chill Dawg Cove on 7/18/23. See you there 🙂

Dear friends,

I’ve been in the process of working on the Paper Ceilings archives, and I’d like to request that if you have any show flyers, photos, videos, audio recordings etc. that you send them over to paperceilingsmusic@gmail.com.

I have a lot of stuff already but I’m sure I’ve missed out on quite a bit, too. Some of this stuff may eventually be made available on this website or compiled into a zine!

Hello everyone! I’ve done some work on this website to make it a little easier for me to update semi-regularly. Not that there has been a ton of news in the last five years, but there have been a couple things (mainly an album, an EP, and a live compilation). You can listen to those below and download them on Bandcamp or over on the music page of this site. They’re also available in all the usual streaming places, except for the live album, mostly because there are a few cover songs on that one and I didn’t feel like paying for licenses.

I will also be performing on 4/30/23 at a house venue in St. Louis. I guess you can email me if you need any details on that one. That will be the first live in-person PC performance since 2019. A true rarity.

Well, that’s all. Maybe I’ll see you in five years (ok, hopefully less) for the next Paper Ceilings news update.

The “So Many Dogs!” EP has finally been pressed on a 7″ record and is available now. I’m doing a flexible name-your-price deal on it – basically there is a $5 recommended price on the record, but the minimum price is actually $1 (+ shipping). Check it out here if you’re interested!
