PAPA SHANGO + DEAD DRUMMER

Papa Shango are an eight - twelve piece rock band, resplendent with backing singers and dancers, they put on extraordinarily large, vivid and entertaining rock shows.

“Lunatic rap rock and oddness” – Kerrang

“Highly skilled musicians with fine song writing nous, they’re nothing like anything you’ve seen or heard before” –Herts live

“The internet killed live music…Papa Shango are saving it” NME.

Papa Shango’s genuine eclectic and eccentric sound could maybe be described as a heavier version of The Darkness with a touch of Rage against the Machine and a dash of James Blunt. Most importantly, included in the Papa sound are female lead vocals (Mama Karen), and backing singers “The Pappettes”.

"BUCKLE up and steel yourself for the ride of your life when tongue-in-cheek rockers Papa Shango take your venue by storm" Bishop Stortford Observer.

“Go and get shangoed” BBC Live

“Amazing, astounding, ridiculous” Time Out.

Support comes from DEAD DRUMMER!! The thrash-a-billy acoustic duo, from the rotting brains of Kai West (Bull) and John Holt Roberts.

That's right bitches, it's been a hot minute!! But we've dragged them out to play!!

It’s fast, it’s slow, it’s angry, it’s happy. It’s so many different things all boiled into one, served up by two brutally beaten acoustic instruments and howled vocals. It’s something pretty unique and vastly engrossing. 

Come and have a feed on it!
