Shoun Shoun vs Satan's Baby

Will this be a fair fight? Two musical heavyweights go head to head in a sound-clash at The Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds. In one corner, the immense Shoun Shoun, the Bristol Butchers. And in the other, Satan'S Baby trading blows for the baying audience.

 

Shoun Shoun ('shoon-shoon')

No wave. No logic. Somewhere between art rock and electronica. Using broken technology to make very human moments, Annette’s songs take sharp, twisted routes making your feet move one way and your head in very much another. Stuttering drums, liquid sex bass, post punk squonk and sporadic noise constitute a sound like no other.

Early 2025 will be spent recording their 2nd album, continuing their push into the North, as well as returning to Europe to bend some ears.

"The range on show has no limits for this quartet... This is an album that tilts on the pinpoint of intrigue and innovation, providing mystery in the direction they may take, a new layer is introduced and the sound diverts in an instant to begin the journey again... the perfect breeding ground for a new immense sound" Noizze

"Rather than just rely on raw power they have moulded their sound into something stylish and intelligent and I could easily see them playing a set at the Tate Modern or MOMA." JOYZINE

 

Satan's Baby

2 piece Satan’s Baby play a blend of heavy psych rock, doom folk and hypnotic grooves, all presented with a hint of dry English humour and bonhomie.

 

Amidst the head nodding riffs, melodies and tales of modern folklore, their shows are full of audience interaction and infectious joy. From fronting major label NME darlings Chikinki, to singing traditional English ballads round the folk club circuits, Satan’s baby’s Vincent Whenever has had quite a trip. Transitioning from bass to drums following a stint with reptile rockers Starken, self-taught DaveRock has developed a unique and expressive style that grooves with metronomic intent and quirkiness

 

Both interested in marrying the storytelling and melodies learned from ancient ballads to fuzz pedal full throttle rock, “Satans Baby have all the drive and frenzy you could wish for in this day and age.. a version of Cream without eric clapton, playing a mix of psyche folk and minimal grunge of the hotel room songs of the stooges first LP.”
