K/W #06: About Paris – Untitled one-sided 12″ EP
About Paris was formed in Amsterdam in 2004. Right from the beginning About Paris has been playing a blend of post-punk and new wave to create a sound that’s both dark and moody, as well as uplifting and danceable.
The quartet recorded a four song EP in March of 2005 that was released in November 2005 through Zabel Muziek. Ironically, the release party for this EP was the last show of About Paris as a quartet, because in January 2006 Johan joined the band to take up guitar duties, and Caspar switched to bass guitar. Now equipped with a fuller sound, the quintet recorded 4 new songs that were more diverse and promising than their older efforts. About Paris decided they were done in 2006. Three of the songs they recorded back in 2006 are now finally available. This 12″ was released in an exclusive edition of 1 copy and is now sold out.

More info on About Paris
About Paris was formed in Amsterdam in 2004. Initially starting out as a trio with Geert-Jan on drums, Caspar on guitar, and Niels on vocals, the guys first invited Rosanne on synth, who was replaced by Willem a couple of months later. This quartet played numerous shows throughout the Netherlands in 2005 and opened for bands like Maximo Park, Ex Models, Panthers and the Robocop Kraus.
