Your Friend, Peter Giles

Indie, Acoustic, Piano Rock | Boise, Idaho

Dear Friends,

Over the past few months, I have seen the countryside by foot, plane, and automobile. I have flown from the Pacific to the Atlantic and experienced beauty from great heights. I have filled my car with gasoline merely to drive and see how far it could take me. I have walked farther than I ever believed I could.

It is interesting how one day you wake up in places you never thought you'd be. Even as a child, I read books of different cities and imagined myself being carried away, deep within the pages, into another land far from home. I'm not exactly sure what it was that brought me to the point of leaving. Some nights in bed, my mind would spin from the anticipation of seeing places I have only read about, while other nights were spent unsettled by the notion of leaving loved ones behind. Whatever the case, I eventually decided that I had to leave to see the world for myself, and oh, what a journey it has been.

Back country landscapes and the awe of big city skyscrapers have only been a portion of my adventure. I have experienced everything from the delight of small town, Southern hospitality to the disappointment of watching some sell their soul for materialistic tripe. I have laughed with new friends of whom I encountered on the road and cried from the loneliness of being away from the friends I had at home. Whatever the case, I want you to know I am thinking about you. You have not left my mind since the day I left home. I will be back soon with more stories to share and with ears ready to hear your own.

Your Friend,

Peter Giles

Saturday Night Shakedown

Saturday Night Shakedown was started in May 2008 by members; Mike Reed & Josh Mondro. As time went on they found the perfect combination of members; Justen Snow & John Estupigan.

They have played many shows, and have touched many different audiences with there varied genre of music. There first show in July of 2008 was a benefit show for Bands That Jam for Africa, and it was packed. At that show not only did they reach out to new fans, but they gained a sponsorship from Red Bull Energy Drink. Since then, they have been featured on earnityourself.com(s) online radio show based in California with a live over the phone interview with Mike Reed. With alot of stuff on these guys' agenda they don't plan on taking a break anytime soon. Look Out for Saturday Night Shakedown on Tour...It's About That Time!

My Paper Camera

Pop, Piano Rock, Indie | Boise, Idaho

Not long after graduating high school, Trevor Powers and Erik Eastman decided to convert their acoustic project into a full-fledged band. Shortly after their decision to expand, guitarist Spencer Rule was added to the mix. After many difficult months of member changes, they were eventually introduced to bassist Seth Cole, who moved from his hometown of Monmouth, Oregon to join the band.

Refusing to follow the industry’s mindset of “get rich or die trying,” My Paper Camera was formed with a much deeper goal than music alone. “We want people to leave our shows with something to chew on,” says Powers, “not necessarily to swallow... We are real people who struggle with real things, and we hope that comes out in our music. Our agenda is simple: to love. If we could encourage or love just one person at a show, I feel we have done our job.” That way of thinking is what motivates MPC to have such an energetic and passionate live show every time they walk on a stage.

“There is nothing quite as freeing as playing music that you feel from the bottom of your heart. We dance, shake, and sway through our whole set every show. There are different feelings in all of our songs that we can’t help but express when we play.”

After releasing their debut EP Faces in a Magazine, the band feels they are one step closer towards attaining their ambition of being on the road full-time. The six-song album, engineered/produced by Muse Labs in Boise, ID and mastered by Ed Brooks (Fleet Foxes, Death Cab for Cutie) at RFI in Seattle,WA, deals with issues ranging from self-acceptance to break-ups. “Faces in a Magazine does a good job of showing the pallet of musical influences that this band uses.” adds Rule. “It has hints of epic rock and more melodic sounds from our past, as well as a new and fresh takes on synth hooks and disco beat driven dance rock. The EP is really an encapsulation of our journey as band for the past two years.”

After My Paper Camera disbanded Trevor Powers went on to start the solo project Your Friend, Peter Giles (which you can find HERE) before ultimately creating Youth Lagoon.
