PAUL HENSHAW & DAN BOOTH

This winter brings a new collaborative venture for two of the UK’s hardest workers on the Folk Punk scene.

PAUL HENSHAW is a professional touring musician, festival favourite and singer songwriter with a five-album discography. Paul and his band, THE SCIENTIFIC SIMPLETONS, have had two Amazon chart #1 singles and one Amazon #1 album.
Paul can be found throughout the year touring relentlessly across the UK, Europe and afar.

DAN BOOTH is Violin player and co-founder of FEROCIOUS DOG.
Dan has played some of the biggest festivals across the UK and Europe, shared stages with the likes of The Levellers, The Wildhearts and many others and, with FEROCIOUS DOG, was part of the only unsigned band to sell out Rock City Nottingham.

Paul and Dan met at a gig, talked about music, talked about bands, shared stages when Pauls band supported FEROCIOUS DOG on numerous occasions during 2019 and the idea for this duo was born.

So… PAUL AND DAN ARE GOING ON TOUR!

John D Revelator (Solo show)
Glastonbury based purveyors of folkabilly toetappers and revolution.
John plays Folk punk protest songs with vigour and passion. He has previously supported the likes of Gaz Brookfield, Nick Parker, The Leylines and Hobo Jones & the Junkyard Dogs.

Surprise Attacks & Paradiddles are excited to host the launch of Soden’s 2nd LP “Onwards…Towards The Tundra” as part of Independent Venue Week 2020.
Soden will be playing the LP live in full, with a killer support bill including Plane Crasher and The Rusty Knives.

SODEN

Conjured up in 2014 by Block, Briggs and Moore. An instrumental wave of mesmerising guitar sounds, engulfing Bass and driving drums, set the melodic and dynamic atmosphere of Soden.

The band’s inspirations come from all genres, but they find their roots in bands such as – Earth, Low, Sonic Youth and Pelican.

Bending dynamics, crushing riffs and subtle time permutations set a visual scene for the listeners.

On their first full length released by Black Bow Records- Led By Foxes. Soden found their grounds and started to root into the scene, supporting bands such as – Dystopian Future Movies, Big|Brave, Samothrace.

Now with their upcoming 2nd full length- Onwards… Towards The Tundra, being released by Dirty Filthy Records on vinyl and Black Bow Records on all other platforms.
The progression in soundscape produces a live set not to be missed.

Preorders for vinyl – 24th January via – https://dirtyfilthyrecords.bigcartel.com

Album Release – Friday 31st January

PLANE CRASHER

Pure rock fury from the age of Aquarius.

One of our very favourite bands, anyone who’s witnessed the fearsome live performance of Plane Crasher knows what to expect here and the uninitiated are in for a treat. A beast of a band. Huge riffs, a freight train rhythm section and intense, fevered vocals. Musically sitting somewhere between Black Flag, Kyuss, classic garage psych punk and noise rock. Not to be missed.

THE RUSTY KNIVES

The Rusty Knives are a two piece Alt- Punk combo belched from the bowels of Worcester. Playing a psychotic blend of hardcore punk and supercharged garage rock, The Rusty Knives are on a mission to prove to nothing to anyone. Using the sheer power of dumb ass brute force and simplicity, a sophisticated blend of influences is ignored and abused underneath a fearsome racket.
The epitome of DIY Alt Punk.

Jake Martin
—————
We’re really excited to have Jake Martin back at Paradiddles. Always putting on a great show with his energetic folk punk songs telling tales of life, love, and the road, with dark wit, politics, and his own cheeky brand of cider fuelled humour.
Jake is playing to larger and larger audiences so catch him in an intimate venue whilst you can!

Jess Silk
————
Joining Jake on his tour Is the incredible Jess Silk, a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravely voice that many don’t expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the country and has shared stages with many well known names among the folk/punk scene.

@Boz
—–
Opening the night is Lee Bozwell a local passionate singer songwriter playing acoustic guitar and singing beautiful heartfelt lyrics.

All three fantastic musicians have played at Paradiddles before but never on the same line up. This will be quite the evening – We cant wait!
