About Me

Sorry guys, Para Para Parasol is no more. Thanks for making our time together a blast! Send a message if you want a CD (details below).
DISCOGRAPHY:
Para Para Parasol, s/t
We cut 5 songs in the studio for an official EP, but we were calling it quits anyway so we decided to save on printing costs and make a musical scrapbook of sorts. It’s a mix of the studio cuts, live recordings, home demos, and random moments we almost forgot about. Oh yeah, and when we were done, we recorded the whole thing over a worn-out cassette copy of The Offspring’s landmark 1994 release Smash and bounced that back to digital. If you want a copy message us and we’ll get you one for free.
Tracklisting:
1 Could We Wait
2 Hey Joanie
3 Chromosomes
4 Emotional Ransom
5 White Houses
6 Slowing Me Down
7 Black Sheets
8 Pictures Of The Ocean
9 Pa-Dum Bum
10 Like A Vanity
11 Marvelous

10/15/07 - Fat Baby

Playing the night before CMJ you run the risk of having everything be a little too low-key. Fortunately we got around that by doing everything last-minute (including the setlist). Those of you that ma...
