WALKING PAPERS Announce Canadian Tour Dates With MONSTER TRUCK
October 16, 2013, 10 years ago
Seattle’s WALKING PAPERS, the new band featuring rock luminaries Duff McKagan (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER), Barrett Martin (SCREAMING TREES, MAD SEASON), Jeff Angell and Benjamin Anderson (both of THE MISSIONARY POSITION) have announced a Canadian tour that kicks off December 4th at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, B.C. The band will be supporting Hamilton, Ontario-based quartet MONSTER TRUCK.
Walking Papers are touring in support of their self-titled debut, which was recorded in Seattle and mixed by veteran producer Jack Endino. The album features a guest appearance by PEARL JAM guitarist Mike McCready, who played on 'I’ll Stick Around' and lead single 'The Whole World’s Watching'. The band recently released a concert performance for the latter, which can be seen below:
Guitarist/vocalist Jeff Angell and drummer Barrett Martin formed the band last year and played their first shows in Seattle as a duo. They became a trio when bassist Duff McKagan joined and a quartet with the addition of keyboardist Benjamin Anderson. Angell and Martin also served as the album’s co-producers.
Walking Papers show that a great song can be conveyed with thundering drums, rumbling bass, and a howling guitar just as easily as it can with percolating marimbas and shimmering vibraphone. The songs on this album can stand alone as individual stories, but taken together as a whole, they convey a much larger narrative with tales of wandering souls, the collisions of will, and the dark beauty of the American heart.
