Paranoid Social Club


Biographies Dave Gutter (vocals, guitar) Jon Roods (bass, keyboards) Marc Boisvert (drums) (Portland, ME) It's cool to be a rock band again. Paranoid Social Club is a rock band. Paranoid Social Club is cool. Call them psychedelic dirt-rock or a garage band with a soul. By any definition, Paranoid Social Club is an incredibly talented group of musicians who write brilliant songs that combine elements of funk, punk, soul, and ska. Paranoid Social Club's Dave Gutter and Jon Roods have been writing songs together since they were 12 years old. The two went on to form the now legendary Rustic Overtones. After building a large and loyal fan base by playing 150 incendiary live shows a year, the band was signed to Arista Records in 1998. Circumstance prevented the release of the band?s Arista album. Following the departure of label president Clive Davis, the band was granted a release from their Arista contract. With a handful of self-produced demos in hand, the group quickly negotiated a deal with Tommy Boy Records. In 2001, Tommy Boy released the Viva Nueva album to critical acclaim and moderate sales success. But that's in the past... Strong retail sales of Axis II and the packed venues that greet Paranoid Social Club at each performance are evidence that the 30,000 fans that purchased the Rustic Overtones? CD releases are hungry for the unique sound and songs of Dave Gutter, Jon Roods and drummer Marc Boisvert. Axis II - Paranoid Social Club's debut CD - was released October 22, 2002 on the Uncle Dealer Entertainment label. Paranoid Social Club has signed a tour sponsorship deal with Shipyard Brewery.
