Taiwan Music: Paper Scissors Stone Band
Paper Scissors Stone is an acoustic trio doin’ folk/ folk rock/classic rock covers, and we’ll soon be playing our originals as well.
Not exclusively bound by one form of music or another Paper Scissor Stone Band brings you folk / folk rock / classic rock covers from the 50’s right on through to the present….on occasion you might even find the odd country or blues tune thrown in the mix.
Summer Breeze
With acoustic and electric guitars and vocals with great harmonies we try to perform music that most audiences might be familiar with. We can go from a soft ballad by Dan Fogelberg, make a 180 degree turn, do a rocker by Brian Adams and then launch into an guitar intense live acoustic version of Hotel California by the Eagles.
Babylon
Couple that with our favorite Beatles tunes, and we hope everybody will find something that will make them want to hear more and more…..
I been here for about 2 years and love to hear music…these guys are a breath of fresh air. Wish you posted more tunes. No offense to any of the bands that are here and I’ve heard quite a few, but it seems to me that no matter wher I go, I see the same old same old…including the festivals here. Its always the same bands….Why aren’t these guys playing at any of these festivals. The covers are done tastefully and spot on pretty much. Its a shame we don’t hear more of this. Most of the originals I hear are just o.k…..nothing really spectacular, and some not good at all. I’d rather pay to hear some tunes I know done well than someones “originals” that aren’t done well at all. Again, no offense I’m not a musician, but wouldo like to hear some really good stuff like this. Well done Paper Scissor Stone Band…… T.M
Thanks T.M.
We did put in to play at the PEACEFEST and MAYJAM, but MAYJAM had so many bands to choose from and scheduling diffuculties that they could not accomodate everyone…besides we are playing the Living Room the night before ( Sat. May 3rd) and getting down to Tainan is a long haul. As far as the PEACEFEST…I couldn’t tell you honestly. We are the new kids on the block so maybe we are not well “known ” enough, but I was there last year and I kinda agree to a point that they did take alot of the same bands. Don’t know why as it is a charity event and we would have loved to help out by doing our part. Maybe next year….Again, everybody has their cup of tea when it comes to music and I’m sure all the bands foreign or local do their best at what they love. We appreciate your support and thoughts though…our website is http://www.myspace.com/paperscissorstoneband. Visit and leave a comment…..join as a friend !!!!
