‚Sonik Kicks‘ reveals Paul Weller once again shaking up his palate and stirring his influences anew, mixing pop art punch with soulful communication, jazzy explorations into psychedelia and dub with razor-sharp melodies, abstract soundscapes with clear-eyed forest-folk.
Believers can discover this at The Roundhouse when ‚Sonik Kicks‘ is performed in full this spring with two shows on 18th & 19th March 2012.
Support on the nights will come from [B]Baxter Drury.
Tickets for the gigs go on exclusive pre-sale via [B]www.theticketfactory.com at 9am on Wednesday November 23rd.
They will then go on general sale at 9am on Friday November 25th.
Weller doesn’t want to wait 20 years to perform a ‚classic‘ album, he’d rather do it here and now – no need for nostalgia to play its part.
