Look out, Quinzy – Paper Moon is back to challenge you for the title of Best Local Pop Band. In stores this coming Tuesday, Apr. 7, Only During Thunderstorms is a concise collection of 10 whimsical pop gems. Previous releases One Thousand Reasons to Stay… One Reason to Leave (2002) and Broken Hearts Break Faster Every Day landed the band’s music on TV shows like Party of Five and Queer as Folk, so there’s no telling where standout tracks like What Are You Going to Do With Me? and People Were Talking… will take them. This is easily one of the two or three best local releases of 2009 so far. Catch them live on Friday, May 1 when they play their CD release show at The Pyramid.

This review appeared in Volume 63, Number 26 of The Uniter, published April 2nd 2009.

Political parties at City Hall

Dave Ginter

“I’m kind of torn on it. I don’t think we really do [need political parties] at that level. But some unity would be nice rather than what’s going on there right now. Maybe a combination. Some political party activity done with a good number of independents. We need someone in City Hall with better consensus-building skills.”
