Paper Tiger


Paper Tiger formed in Adelaide in July 2003. They played indie pop with instrument swapping aplenty – viola, glockenspiel, melodica, piano accordian, boy/girl melodies and a Norwegian accent. They disbanded in April 2005, but not before releasing their While You Are Gone EP, touring to Melbourne and playing with some great bands, including some of their favourites - The Lucksmiths, Art of Fighting, Architecture in Helsinki, The Guild League, Frente, Wolf and Cub, New Buffalo, Anthony Atkinson, The Zebras, Straight to Video and The Silvermine Tapes.

The Silvermine Tapes

The Silvermine Tapes formed as a recording outfit in Adelaide in 1996. Early experiments were recorded on eight-track tape at an actual disused Silvermine, now home to an artists’ studio, exhibition space and recording studio. It was here that the band formed the blueprint of their sound: a foundation of bass, drums and guitar garnished with exotica and a collection of non-rock instrumentation, always proceeding from the premise that improvisation and experimentation are crucial if music is to breathe.

Although the band never really imagined performing live, they could not resist an invitation to play with Will Oldham and the Tren Brothers. Thus it was that in 1998 the live Silvermine Tapes entity was born, and they’ve gone on to play shows with the likes of Smog, Richard Buckner, Pete Jeffries, Machine Translations, Disaster Plan, This is Your Captain Speaking and Adam Said Galore.
