The Punk-a-billy / Psychobilly / Ska Night
Starring The Peacocks, Paddlecell & Support
THE PEACOCKS
Formed as a school band in 1990 in Stammheim, Zurich, The Peacocks have since toured around half the world and released 10 studio albums, several singles, and best-of compilations.
In November 2024, their latest work, And Now What?, was released on the Nuremberg label Concrete Jungle.
Roughly 2,000 shows: The Peacocks have toured extensively across Canada and the United States, been long-time regulars in England, played two tours in Japan, and of course all over Europe. From Tromsø to Granada, from Galway to Kyiv, from Rimini to St. Petersburg – naturally with plenty of stops for gigs along the way.
They’ve shared stages with almost every legend (except Fats Domino and The Clash), as well as with local blues bands. From the biggest festival stages to a small café, the hippest club in town, or the local youth center. They hit number 1 on the Japanese Indie Charts, slept on tangled apartment carpets, or in freezing tour buses.
The Peacocks love what they do. Their style, originally influenced by the Rockabilly Revival and the Psychobilly of the 1980s, has become a perfect blend of what the London underground scene had to offer in 1981 – yet remains fresh and modern.
PADDLECELL
A wild mix of energetic old-school Psychobilly and fast offbeat rhythms, complete with slapping double bass and fat brass sections. The cheeky disregard of the six Wuppertal musicians for subcultural boundaries pays off, because their dirty dozen of self-written songs on the new album Sometimes We Come Back! doesn’t just sound unique – it sounds like they could have drawn from the work of countless other bands. But they didn’t. Of course, some Billy bands have experimented with Ska (though rarely the other way around), yet Paddlecell are well on their way to creating a genre of their own. They even have a name for it: Horror-Ska – fitting for the lyrical themes they explore. This experimental band will appeal to anyone tired of 2-Tone and Ska-Punk but still craving upbeat energy. And for Psychobilly fans who enjoy vocals in the style of Sparky (frontman of Demented Are Go), Marc’s voice will hit the spot.
In summary:
Their unique style between Psychobilly and their self-created Horror-Ska promises variety and excitement! With a deep, atmospheric voice that gives you goosebumps, paired with Rockabilly guitar riffs, driving slap bass, crazy drums, and darkly rounded brass arrangements, listeners are drawn into a yet unexplored state of psychosis.
