History

Papercranes was formed in 2003 in Gainesville, Florida by actress/singer Rain Phoenix. They play mostly in and around the Gainesville area and fairly regularly at the Common Grounds coffee house (located at 210 SW 2nd Ave, Gainesville, Florida.) They independently released their debut self-titled EP in 2004. Their debut full-length album, titled 'Vidalia', was released in September 2006. A tour followed. The band chronicled their tour escapades in video clips on their web site. A second album titled Let's Make Babies in the Woods was released in 2011 on Los Angeles indie label Manimal Vinyl. Their third album titled Three is expected in late 2012 via Manimal and contains three EPs of new material which was self-released as First Born, Middle Child and Baby on papercranes' website.
