History
Papermoon was started in 1991 by Christof Straub (guitar) and Edina Thalhammer (vocals). They had a successful career with acoustic music (guitar and vocals), during the 1990s, predominantly in Austria. After their song “Night After Night” received frequent airplay on the Austrian radio station Ö3, Papermoon signed a recording contract in 1992. Their first album went double platinum with total sales over 100,000. Both of their follow-up albums went gold. Papermoon's most well-known songs are “Tell Me A Poem” and “Lucy’s Eyes.”
Edina Thalhammer left the group in 1996, for a period of almost seven years, during which she was replaced by Roumina Straub and later, for a short time, by Barbara Pichler. During this time, Papermoon released a maxi-single and a “Best Of” album (with three new titles). Edina Thalhammer embarked on a solo career in 2002 with her project “Tau." In 2004, the original members of Papermoon reunited.
In 2006, Papermoon was awarded the Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the “Pop/Rock Group” category for the album “True Love.”
