Ken Pustelnik's Groundhogs

Way back in the halcyon days there came a trio of 'superheroes' known as THE GROUNDHOGS. Riding the blues boom into uncharted territory, they gained a reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts around and are influential and inspirational to this day.

The classic line-up of Tony McPhee, Ken Pustelnik and Pete Cruickshank toured the world for 6 years straight, including seminal shows with greats like The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, John Mayall and Canned Heat and at the legendary 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. In this time they produced 4 renowned albums: 'BLUES OBITUARY', 'THANK CHRIST FOR THE BOMB', 'SPLIT' and 'WHO WILL SAVE THE WORLD?'

Now Ken brings you a new and exciting line-up - KEN PUSTELNIK'S GROUNDHOGS, playing classic material with verve and power and giving performances of energy and excitement that are as fresh and relevant to the modern audience as the originals were back in the day.

Support comes from Paradise 9

Paradise 9 are a four- piece psyche-proto-punk rock band based in London and Brighton. Formed in 1997 by Gregg McKella.

To date they have 3 studio albums, with the latest ‘Science Fiction Reality’, released in April 2021 on the legendary Flicknife Records.

"Challenging, deft and understated space rock for 2021 and generations beyond." Guy Shankland - Vive Le Rock

‘Tremendous space rock with an intelligent and optimistic zen-punk message’ It’s Psychedelic Baby! Magazine

‘If Paradise 9 had been around back in the day, then surely their space-punk vibe would have made them great stablemates for the likes of Inner City Unit, Underground Zero, and yes, Hawkwind themselves, on the 1980s Flicknife roster. Fast forward to 2021, and how fantastic to see them join the resurgent Flicknife label now! Sharp indeed!’ Ian Abrahams, RC


Please note that depending on how things are pandemic-wise, LFT's may need shown at the door, but this will be reviewed nearer the gig date.
