PALEFACE, is a fun-lovin, high-energy, indie-folk duo featuring Paleface himself and darling drummer Monica Samalot, on tour in support of The Show Is On The Road, (Ramseur Records 2009), which features guest performances by The Avett Brothers. "terrific disc, a deserving breakthrough disc." Philadelphia Inquirer

Paleface was shcooled by Daniel Johnston, and discovered in 1990 by Danny Fields (The Stooges, The Ramones, MC5). Since then he's released over a dozen records including 2 major label releases.  He's also been a major influence on artists such as Kimya Dawson, and Beck, who recently called PALEFACE "a great songwriter, a generous friend, and a big influence on my early stuff'" (American Music, Annie Leibovitz).

The duo performed at Non-Comm (triple A sponsored event hosted by WXPN and World Cafe Live), back in May 2009, and that same weekend they opened for The Avett Brothers at The Trocadero Theatre.
