We Invented Paris

WE INVENTED PARIS is a European artist collective – a pool of musicians and friends who constantly “re-invent” their subtly arranged Indie-Pop-songs in ever-changing instrumentation. The collective came together mid-2010; surprising for their short existence: they already have an impressive concert-history.
The „project“ does not only include musicians but also other creatively active heads beyond the circle of fifths. From the web appearance and the merchandising through to the stage design the collective members realize everything on their own. Not surprisingly the band releases their records on their own label Spectacular Spectacular. Even the tour booking and organisation is still part of the band’s daily business – often they find a place to sleep via Couchsurfing when they are roadtripping through living rooms and kitchens with the goal of exploring abandoned backyards, house boats and cosy bars all over Europe.
WE INVENTED PARIS mix up traditional instrumentation with electronic elements and live they often transform sentimental songs into danceable artefacts. ‘Melancholic Joy of Life’ someone said – which might be the best way to capture the aura of WE INVENTED PARIS.
