The band are currently gigging > and in the past have supported acts such as Reverend and the Makers, > The Automatic and The Sunshine Underground and also reached the Semi > Finals of UK's biggest unsigned band competition "Live and Unsigned". > > Review from Mark Page The Sesh: > > "With the demise of their former band, The Papershakers, Street Parade > have risen from the ashes as a 3 Piece with all the swagger you'd > expect from a band that pay homage to the baggy sounds of Manchester > circa 1990 yet possessing the energy of naughties favourites, Bloc > Party, The Rapture and Daft Punk, alongside the current stance of > Kasabian. Lead singer Andy Carmichael leads from the front with > hypnotic honey filled vocals whilst taking over on keyboard duties. > Their sound is driven throughout courtesy of the excellent pulsating > drumming from Dave Bennett and the distorted bass lines of Chris > Howes. Overall, Street Parade are now a musical force to be reckoned > with in the city. I've had them debut down at my Sesh live music night > recently and they absolutely stormed it. Looking forward to having > them back often."
