Paper Legs

About Me

After a chance meeting at a rehearsal for Gamelan Kusuma Laras in NYC, Brian, Jay Dunbar, and Trevor discovered their shared need for a rehearsal space. Friendships formed after some long train rides back to Brooklyn, and eventually they began playing music together outside of the Gamelan room. As their other bands ended Trevor and Brian began weekly rehearsals together which became Paper Legs about a year later. The duo form allowed them to explore the use of electronics with acoustic instruments and objects with much more freedom than other projects past. Currently living on separate coasts, Brian and Trevor both continue to play solo sets as Paper Leg, and improvise together whenever possible. Their releases include: "Three by Three" 3 x 3" CDR’s, "Tent School" CDR, and Paper Legs / Sharks with Wings Split 7."
