About the Catapilla Project

The Catapilla Project was created by a Philadelphia-area music and media buff in order to share their knowledge of popular music and the regional music scene and meet and help people who felt as passionate about music and the region as they did. Its mission is to find and promote good music (past, present and local) and the people who make it, bring musicians and music fans together and share their love of music, and find ways to best utilize the Internet and other technologies in order to do so.

At one time it also represented/refered to their attempt to be a musician/songwriter (artist name also Catapilla). Many of the lyrics from those writing sessions are still avaliable here, but that dream has since faded. Maybe someday it will rise again.

So far, the Project has:

• Taken pictures that have been used for artist websites and promotion.
• Written concert reports that have been used in artist press kits.
• Maintained a database for all songs that have been performed live by groups seen multiple times which helps them keep track of which ones they have not performed recently.
• Advised groups and venues during performances in order to improve and maintain the quality if needed.
• Begun building a network of artists and music fans through MySpace and other groups.
• Composed a set list that was performed live.

It is also looking to:

• Book concerts at local venues
• Bring attention to overlooked songs
• Create a production company
• Produce a music and/or band documentary
• Film concerts
• Produce/write for programs and publications on the local and popular music scenes
• Get local music in shows, films, and promotion
• Work with benefit concerts
• Produce music compilations and demos

This site showcases their personal experiences with the local music scene and music itself through photos, articles, and reviews. It also details their music-related activities. It will be the reference point for anyone who wants to learn more about The Project and its purpose.

Special thanks to Dave Devlin, Mouth Of Wilson, Future 86, Blue Sinatra, the Pheromones, Triumph Brewery, John and Peter's, Grape Street, MySpace, other artists and fellow music fans encountered along the way for helping make this Project possible and continuing to make it a joy to do.

Hope to see you at the show,

Jason "Catapilla" Pacenski
