The Paper Kites + Horse Thief

The Paper Kites success to this point has been a combination of the traditional route of hard work on the road, combined with the power of online “word of mouth”.

The band have developed a very solid live audience by making sure each and every show holds nothing back in terms of honesty and emotion, They have toured extensively throughout Australia having sold out two national headline tours of their own while also winning over audiences as the support for the likes of Boy & Bear and Josh Pyke,

Online the band have proven to be somewhat of a phenomena. Fans from all over the world have embraced them via social media and their DYI style videos for the songs Featherstone and Bloom have had over 3 million combined views on Youtube thus far.

The first video shot for “Young North” for the track “A maker Of My Time” has already had nearly 30,000 views on Youtube in just over a week. The one shot video was co-directed by the band and Jefferton James (Boy & Bear, Avalanche City) and was filmed in remote bushland on the border of NSW and Victoria. It’s a striking piece of work, so simple yet so emotionally affecting and joyous that it’s hard to watch without breaking into a smile.
