Paradise 9 now consists of Gregg McKella on main vocals, guitar, clarinet, and FX's, Carl Sampson on drums, Steve Teers, djembe, backing vox, and now also keyboards with Neil Matthars on bass, joining the ranks in 2008. In 2007, Tyrone Thomas was added to the line-up on lead guitar, thus making the current line-up. Tyrone had also previously been in Image Wot Image. Jeanette Murphy, Poppy Gonzalez and Simone Weeks continue to help out on backing vocals. With this new line-up, Paradise 9 have developed a more cutting edge, space-rock-stroke-punk rock sound. This can be heard on their new 4 track EP “Nothing For Tomorrow”. The EP was recorded at Liscombe park Studios, mixed and engineered by Steve Rispin, at the end of 2008 and finished early 2009, and is now getting extensive radio plays worldwide. They continue to feature guests' performances in their live sets, with recent contributions from Judge Trev on lead, Wayne Collyer on percussion, Jeanette Murphy (ex Image Wot Image), Poppy Gonzalez (Hush Collector/Dreamfield) and Simone Weeks on backing vocals, Honkin Stu (Sumerian Kyngs) on harmonica and Jaki Windmill (Whimwise/ex-Space Ritual) on djembe.
Their music can be described as psychedelic, ambient, punk, space rock/space-core and have been described as "Hawkwind meets Joe Strummer" by reviewer Abi Rhodes....
