We would like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our party during SXSW we hosted with The Wild Honey Pie on Friday 3/15. It was… AMAZING! We’d like to send a big internet hug to all of the bands who all played incredible sets, The Eastern Sea, Doe Paoro, You Won’t, Conveyor, Pearl and the Beard, The Last Bison, High Highs, Widowspeak, Mikhael Paskalev, ON AN ON, Little Tybee, Pree, Eli Mardock and Frances Cone… we love all of you!
Finally, a gigantic sloppy kiss to all of you who packed our party to the brim. We loved talking with you, drinking with you and watching wonderful music with you. Let’s do it again next year!

You’ve been asking us if we’ll be down in Austin, Texas for SXSW this year. Well, the answer is “hell yes we’ll be in Austin!” It seems as if the slow build up to the year’s most important/fun music conference/festival has, in two days, become a tidal wave of excitement and nerves.
Having worked on putting together this party for the last months, we are extremely proud to share the lineup and invite you to this year’s The Beehive during SXSW, a party made possible by KOHLER and their new bluetooth-speaker equipped showerhead, the Moxie. RSVP below and see you in Austin!

The CMJ Music Marathon has come to a close for another year, and as we symptomatically withdraw from nine Conveyor shows, 3 Pree shows, 2 showcases and a lot of free alcohol, we rejoice and reflect on our most successful CMJ to date *Happy Sigh*.
While we may have provided the music, our lovely sponsors are to thank for turning the party-knotch up to 11 with free beer flowing from Speakeasy Beers, free wine from HobNob, and of course 4 bicycles given away thanks to Schwinn!
Oh, and you know even though CMJ is over, our engines are still running and there is plenty more chances coming up to see our bands in NYC and beyond. Here’s a few excuses to see us again..
We here at Paper Garden Records are proud to announce our Official CMJ Showcase of 2012! We’ll be kicking the Music Marathon off on Tuesday October 16th at 1:00pm at The Living Room, with live performances from Conveyor, The City and Horses, Pree, Natureboy and Eli Mardock!
Here’s the cherry… not only is our event FREE and open to the public, we will also be giving away 4 Schwinn bikes on our amazing SPIN TO WIN A SCHIWNN wheel! All you need to do is show up and spin the wheel to enter… and while you have one hand on the wheel, we will be providing your other hand with a free drink from Speakeasy Beer! Is this a party or a game show? COME ON DOWN and find out!

SXSW 2011 was phenomenal for Paper Garden & The Lovely Hearts Club. This year, we are going even bigger and better – setting up a Paper Garden fort for 4 full days. Showcasing 30+ bands over the first 3 days (3/14, 3/15, 3/16) and a featuring unique solar-panel sound installation called Sun Boxes & more surprises TBA on our recovery/hangover day (3/18), we have established a solid week of events featuring extraordinary talent from across the world. On top of the diverse and exciting group of bands that Paper Garden is bringing in directly, we are also partnering with three of our favorite music blogs for each day (Pigeons & Planes, My Old Kentucky Blog, The Wild Honey Pie) to co-curate some of today’s most buzz-worthy acts across all genres.
In addition to the musical talent, we have partnered up with some amazing sponsors this year. Moniker Guitars will be present again this year, giving away some custom guitar-related goodies, Thinglink will be demonstrating the launch of their new Facebook Tabs (check out an example HERE), Threads For Thought will be doing a raffle/giveaway of their sustainable and environmentally friendly clothing, Ralph & Charlies is hooking us up with some delicious AND healthy juices and to hydrate everyone even further in the heat of Austin, Vitamin Water will be supplying product throughout the week.

“Peppy piano, handclaps, and strings that crescendo like whitecaps on sea waves – his new single starts off with a feeling similar to Arcade Fire if you were to trade a dark and broody church recording studio for a summery session in the Grand Canyon. Even if your frontal lobe was as useless as a Blockbuster video store, you’d still be able to deduce that Mr. Mardock can compose a great, layered song like few others.” – I Guess I’m Floating
I Guess I’m Floating marked the first single from Eli Mardock’s new album with talk of Nostalgia. Which is exactly what it is to Paper Garden as well, as Eli was the front-man of PGR’s first ever band, Eagle Seagull! IGIF sums it up best, so head on over to IGuessImFloating.net for the full post!
