The Rider with Becko and Paul Dempsey

"Shotgun Karaoke" began as a backstage challenge while Something for Kate were on tour. Paul was thrown impossible songs to cover from artists like Iron Maiden and You Am I.

Strangely the challenge started to get a following on Youtube and it sparked something - a covers album!

"Shotgun Karaoke" came out and then Paul toured the country, but he didn't necessarly want to be known as the 'covers guy'. (But we all loved his "Wrecking Ball" version all the same!)

In 2025, "Shotgun Karaoke II" was released with covers from Cher, Max Q, REM and Patti Smith.

The tour also continues in Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne.

This is The Rider with Becko, and Paul Dempsey.
