The Paper Jets return to New York City’s The Bitter End on October 4th, 2014! We kick the evening off at 7:00 pm. Admission is $10 and it’s a 21+ show, so leave the kids home and get ready for a great night in the big city!

This will be the first Paper Jets performance since June, prior to Scottie breaking his collarbone. In the meantime, Frank went on a two-week Canadian tour with his Dust of Days solo project and Brian spent the Summer moonlighting as the piano-player in Jesse Elliot’s band. But The Paper Jets are back and ready to rock once more! So get ready, because this is just the first of a couple of big things to come!

Scottie Maloney, our beloved bassist, will be heading to the Disabled List for 6-8 weeks due to an injury sustained during a football game. Scottie leapt into the air to pull down a game-saving interception when he landed awkwardly, breaking his collarbone in four places.

The good news: He held onto the ball and his team got the win!

The bad news: The Paper Jets will be going on an unplanned hiatus until our man gets better, lest Frank and Brian turn themselves into a powerpop White Stripes.

Our Weezer cover goes unaffected, as Scottie’s part was – thankfully – already put down. The remainder of the sessions will go as planned and we will reemerge in September better, stronger, faster and with more dexterous bass-playing than ever!

He heads in for surgery on Tuesday July 29th, 2014. Please send your thoughts, prayers, and good vibes out to him for a speedy recovery!

After a successful West Coast run last Fall, our esteemed drummer, Frank Lettieri Jr, is heading to Canada with his Dust of Days project this August.

At the moment, no dates or venues have been announced. We will be sure to post updates as soon as we receive them. In the meantime, Scottie and Brian await Frank’s return with baited breath.

We’re excited to announce that we’ll soon be hitting the road again! After a great show at Xfinity Live in Philadelphia (thanks Radio 104.5!), we’ll be trekking down south in the beginning of June for a one-week tour of Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina before finishing up with a blowout hometown show at Triumph Brewing Company in New Hope, PA, on June 20. Here’s the full itinerary:

• June 10 – Jack Rabbits Live (Jacksonville, FL)
• June 11 – Hang Fire (Savannah, GA)
• June 12 – Hummingbird Stage and Taproom (Macon, GA)
• June 13 – Chapel Hill Underground (Chapel Hill, NC)
