Bike Helmet Benefit Bash at Zoey’s in Ventura!

paperswordsteresa — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:08:58 +0000

Saturday, August 13th, fellow music makers Matt Zeltzer and Emy Reynolds (along with yours truly) will be bashing away at Zoey’s in Ventura, as we celebrate the ability of bicycle helmets to save the brains of bicycle riders… from bashes. We will not ourselves be bashing bicycle helmets, but we will be bashing on behalf of them. And 25% of the proceeds will be donated to buy helmets for bash-prone children. So if you’ve got a [new] helmet [that would fit a child that] you’d like to donate, please don’t be BASHful; bring it!

If you’re lookin’ to add some pizazz to your Tuesday night, but already used those illegal fireworks you had, then head on over to SoHO on July 12th at 9:30. For a breezy $5 cover, we will get out of your non-air conditioned house, and into the nightclub where the sweet sounds of ice against glass will harmonize with the plunking of banjos, tapping of drums, and highfiving of friends. So come on out, cool down, and make your Tuesday night a memorable one without the hassle of accidentally starting a brush fire.

Hello friends! We are excited to have been invited to help local fashion foxes Faith and Benicia celebrate the grand opening of their beyond-awesome vintage and handmade goods store this Friday, June 17th at 7:30 in store at Love Fox Vintage located at 7 W.

Duds from this new well-priced, well-curated tienda have already found their way into at least 2 band member’s closets (yes, they sell apparel for both lads and lasses)… so come celebrate with us and discover your new favorite addiction!

Where The Music Is

If you haven’t yet visited the raddest little vinyl/plastic/human-made-goods store in Santa Barbara, ya’oughtta! And goshdarnit, what better time to do so than on Saturday, May 14th when Paper Swords is playing? 5:30 in the afternoon is the when. 131 E. De la Guerra is the where. You are the who… and the why. Your feet or bicycle or beast of burden or motorized vehicle is the how. All ages. No cover. Lots of music/music-related products/non-music-related-products. No second thoughts necessary! See you there!

Join us and J. Irvin Dally (recently back in Cali from South x SouthWest in Austin) at Goleta’s coolest wine and beer drinkery, The Mercury Lounge, on Saturday, April 23rd. You will not be disappointed. … unless you were expecting a bad show. Then you are certain to be disappointed.
Our apologies.

SOhO in Santa Barbara on Wednesday, April 20th

paperswordsryan — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 02:52:33 +0000

Vinnie Ferra and LOVEBIRD will be joining us for a night of rocking, rolling, swaying, nodding, and other enjoyable action verbs. It will be a night not to be missed (“missed” being a less enjoyable action verb). Also, the phrase “action verb” is redundant. We could just say “verb”, but that would be less funner.
