It was Scott’s big 50th birthday so what could be more fitting than a party in Prague with all of his bands playing at the Lucerna?

“Ma Folie” – the movie coming out March 27, 2015
At long last, the movie we are in, Ma Folie, is going to be released in Europe on March 27, 2015. We are very excited to see how it turns out!
Time of the Season
Well, it’s been a while and yes! We have almost no news to announce except that 2/5 of the Paramount Styles team is very excited that Belgium beat the US in this round of the world cup. Finally, the Belgians will have their say and their triumphs. Congratulations and good luck with Argentina! It is also the day before the 4th of July so despite the US being eliminated, we will still celebrate. The Chief has vowed to continue his journey towards musical completion of the masterworks put on 2″ tape in Prague. Child rearing has taken its toll on the productivity of the unit but we have high hopes of forging on. We hope you are all having a great summer or winter depending on where you are and please… stay calm and collected.
Paramount Styles in Dortmund
The chief is doing a solo show in Dortmund, Germany at the Klub Dortmund with Andreas Kaling on January 31. Not many shows to date in Germany so it should be cool to explore this newish territory (not new if you are a barbarian or a roman or even some Paleolithic megalodon but whatever…alles gehts gut.)
Solo shows in October
Chief is hitting the road to get up to Prague to wrap up the latest recordings. We recorded about 6 new songs bringing the total to 13. Lucky 13. Hopefully we’ll have something out next year.
Getting it Together Slooooowly
We are getting things together at PS Rockers Central… as we do, our other band will be over in Europe playing some shows which look like they are going to be pretty damn enjoyable.

Paramount Styles at Boskovice Festival
Well, you heard here first… or second… or third… or you just heard it somewhere and now you’re hearing it again. Hear this: Paramount Styles is playing on Friday, July 6 at the Boskovice Festival in the Czech Republic. Fly, Swim, Walk, Run, Ride a Bike, Hitch a Ride (careful of psychos or carfull of psychos, it’s up to you), go get a helicopter or take a kayak (thanks Celine Dion ) and just get there. It’s going to be fun, assuming you remember any of it. Actually, that doesn’t even matter. The Chief, the man, Mr. Scott Mccloud will be performing with special guests. Take it in, enjoy the sun and say hi to everyone you see. Spread the love. Spread the wealth. God dammit, just go.
Here’s some more information.

Blinky Midnight heads to Greece 17 May 2012
Oh Greece…We can’t quit you! Scott is heading to Greece to play a show with False Alarm and the reformed Bokomolech… maybe not reformed, but certainly absent for a while. Their first record Xero (1996) is considered by many to be one of the best Greek english spoken rock records ever. It should be pretty cool to see them and participate in this show. If you’re sick of the cold, why not head to Greece for a nice little vacation?
Not one Iota in Murska Sobota
Today is the last show of this magical mystery tour and we are heading to Murska Sobota to play in “an old castle.” We’ve played here before and we were very excited to play a castle. It is, however, not really a castle. More like a big government building or perhaps someone’s big ass house at some point. Or a school. I don’t know, what, I’m supposed to ask about these things? Anyway, the last time we played here Scott jokingly said, “I’ve seen better castles…” Which is funny because a. it’s a dickish thing to say and b. we are from america so we don’t see any castles. None. But the audience rose the occasion immediately and someone yelled out, “I’ve seen better bands!” which has got to be one of the best heckles I’ve heard in a long time. Well played, sir!!
We are playing with Werefox tonight, the debut of the new band of Melanie from Psycho-Path. Scott will sing a song with her and the cameras will roll. The people here are very nice and treat us to some local cuisine and homemade wine, which we, of course, drink like it’s water.
Tonight we end the tour with a traditional dance party and alcohol freakout and then we scatter to the four corners of the world like cockroaches caught when you turn on the kitchen light. We had a great time, we hope everyone else did and we will be back to bother you again. Have no fear.
