Event information

Ken Pustelnik, the original Groundhogs drummer, has formed a new lineup of the band. Their show features all the classics from The Groundhogs long and very successful existence (formed in 1963), which featured Ken Pustelnik's unorthodox drumming style.

All the traditional Groundhog elements will be on show, such as the high energy arrangements and the free-flowing psychedelic-tinged improvisations, all anchored by the underlying Blues Root ever present since the bands earliest days.

Playing the classic songs from the "Split" and "Thank Christ For The Bomb" albums...celebrating it's 50th anniversary in 2019!

Opening will be Paradise 9

Paradise 9 are a four- piece psychedelic/proto-punk/space-rock band based in London and Brighton. Formed in 1997 by singer songwriter Gregg McKella, they released their first album “Showtime” in 1998.

They'll be playing songs from their soon to be released studio album “Science Fiction Reality”, and classics from their "Take Me to the Future" and "Showtime" albums.

“20th Anniversary 1997 ~ 2017 Live CD”

“Paradise 9 creates songs of beauty that are about appreciating the world and the people in it. Whether it is the upbeat, explosive space punk of “State of the Nation” or the deeply moving acoustic folk-psychedelia of “Falling for You,” McKella’s brilliant songwriting is at the core of each tune on this album. It is so strong that the high level musicianship that is represented here almost seems secondary…if only for that intense rhythmic drive, the gliss guitar and those tonal colors that call out to the universe…” Jack Gold-Molina - Its Psychedelic Baby December 2017
