the band

Silly Automatic - three core members - paul dews, david wilkinson and sohail khan, have been together in this incarnation since 1999. Essentially they work as a collaborating songwriting team that also performs its own music live - stuff - their first effort has been produced by cutenasty...

Silly Automatic was a solo musical project started in 1996 by guitarist/singer/songwriter Paul Dews. Paul was a founder member of rock band 13th Hour which gigged extensively on the pub circuit throughout East Anglia and the home counties during the 80's. The single 'Stereo Smiles' climbed high in the Melody Maker independent chart. Paul was also a member of bands Go Beserk which featured Stevie V of 'Dirty Cash' fame, and Chimera, a studio based band who recorded at Beaumont Street Studios in Huddersfield and were engineered by Steve Whitfield - who was also working with The Cure, Bill Bruford and The Mission.
