Paper Lions (formerly the Chucky Danger Band) is a Canadian indie rock band, formed in Belfast, Prince Edward Island in 2004 by singer and guitarist John MacPhee, drummer David Cyrus MacDonald, guitarist Colin Buchanan and bass guitarist Rob MacPhee. John and Rob MacPhee are brothers, and Buchanan grew up next door to them. They met MacDonald in high school.[1] The band is now based in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Their debut full-length album Colour, released in 2006.

They won the 2006 East Coast Music Award for Pop Recording of the Year for their EP 6-pack.

They received three nominations at the 2007 East Coast Music Awards: Group Recording of the Year, Single of the Year ("Marching Machine"), and Rock Recording of the Year.

Their third release, Chucky Danger, was released August 29, 2007.

They were nominated for four awards at the 2008 East Coast Music Awards.[2]

On February 21, 2008, the band announced on their Myspace blog that they were changing their name to Paper Lions.

Since changing their name to Paper Lions, the band has completed several tours including a 7-show tour with idiosyncratic American band, CAKE, and have released their new Album "Trophies," which has garnered a lot of attention from media and the music industry. Their song, "Stay Here For A While" made them finalists in the 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Competition.[3]

Paper Lions have also been featured on CBC Radio, having their video for their single "Lost the War" nominated for a 2010 CBC Radio 3 Bucky Award.[4]

Their radio interest has paved the way for Television interest including performing on September 29, 2010 on MTV Live![5] and having "Lost the War" featured in several episodes of the hit ABC show, "Greek."[6]

In 2010 Paper Lions were selected to perform at the 2010 World Expo in China.[7] as well as at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, BC and at the 2010 Paralympics in Whistler, BC.
