Paperhouse

Resurrecting rock and roll

About Me

Paperhouse is just one guy: Lucas Chatfield of Side Project (check them out below). This is his solo thing, and it's reeeal solo. He plays all the instruments himself, records and mixes it himself, and runs this page himself. Isn't that just so special?Lucas is a rock and roll fiend. 31 years old, Lucas has been eating and breathing rock music since day one."Rock and roll music is supposed to make you feel good, and it's unfortunate that so much of today's popular-rock-radio is overloaded with music that makes people feel bad. Sad songs are a regular and expected part of any pop music, but today's rock scene pushes negativity beyond the limits of simple entertainment. I'm all about making rock and roll the way it used to be made, before this agenda of rage and self-loathing took it over. There is a reason why classic rock radio is the most listened to format on the airwaves: it's just more fun!"

Song Story: Night After Night

Some of my favorite songs are the ones that just tell a simple little story.  Springsteen was always good at that, as were Soul Asylum and Counting Crows.  Anyways, I was fooling around with...

Song Story: Calling Out

The opening guitar phrase, that D to D/Amin thing that happens at the begining, was something I found myself playing over and over one day.  I eventually wrapped some chords around it that I foun...

How just one guy?

This part's actually pretty easy.  I have a multi-track recording program on my computer.  I record the songs one track (one instrument) at a time in the basement.  The guitars are all ...

Why just one guy?

Well, as I said, I used to play with Side Project, but since moving to Denver, I'm kinda on my own.  I have re-recorded some of my songs from the SP days and made them "mine" so to speak.  I...
