Release Notes:
From the bandÆs lips to your earsà
ôPAULSON formed in New Jersey in 2001. After a few years of playing casually
around the state, we signed with Kentucky-based Initial Records in 2004 and
released our less-than-stellar first LP Variations. Unfortunately, the historic
label went out of business shortly thereafter leaving us on the road without an
album.
After some maneuvering, we signed with Long Island-based One Day Savior records,
who gave Variations a re-release and also financed our follow-up All At Once in
2005. While without an agent or a manager, we still performed some 400 DIY shows
during the last two years, building a dedicated fan base that belied our
extremely low-key commercial presence and still confuses industry folks. Yeah,
it's ridiculous, we didn't even have an endcap in Best Buy and yet some people
like us. Weird. Those in the know had nice things to say about All At Once and
within a few months of its release we had picked up a manager, booking agent and
the attention of a number of prominent record labels who were interested in
resigning us. We were feeling pretty good.
After careful consideration, we chose to sign with NYC-based Doghouse Records.
After that we took it to the bank, bitches. About that time, our computer genius
synth-player Mike Smeen decided to amicably exit the band to get rich on the
corporate dime. It wasn't too bad, though, because our old friend John Guarente
was getting tired of crying alone in his apartment every night and said he
wanted to play keyboards. And voila! [The reincarnated PAULSON emerged yet again
with our first appearance as Doghouse RecordÆs most recent signing to play this
yearÆs CMJ showcase alongside label mates Jet Lag Gemini, Meg & Dia, Weatherbox,
Army of Me and The Honorary Title. And yeah, we totally ruled the night with our
rendition of Dirty DancingÆs ôIÆve had the time of my lifeöàwe know how to reel
in the ladies.]
So now that's us. And Doghouse is going to reissue a remixed & remastered All At
Once in March of 2007 complete with a few new tracks. So counting our original
demo of Variations, we've released two albums five times on three labels. Is
that ridiculous or what? Write some new songs already!"
