The Rider with Becko and Paul Dempsey

Season 5 · Episode 13

Monday, November 10, 2025 • Duration 26:39

"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.

Sunday, October 13, 2024 • Duration 31:47

Kasey Chambers is nothing short of a national treasure. We as a nation cried and supported her when 'Not Pretty Enough' burst Kasey onto the scene.

It was an anthem people related to and was in so many ways the most unlikely to be a number one hit.

Now her 13th album is out, 'Backbone' which accompanies her book 'Just Don't Be a Dickhead'.

A lot has changed in her life, but this album feels like it crosses all stages of her career with music that could have featured on any of her earlier albums.

Kasey's life is an amazing one, in this chat, we hear about her childhood and how her father influenced her music style and the balancing act that is touring and having a family.

This is The Rider with Becko and Kasey Chambers.
