Dada Paradox

Named for the 20th Century European art movement, Dada Paradox were formed in 2015 by Ian & Liza Roure, former front persons of defunct New York City powerpop band the Larch (1998 - 2015 "catchy, lyrically brilliant psychedelic new wave rock” - NY MusicDaily.) 

Having relocated to Oxford, UK in 2017, Dada Paradox's Progressive Retro-Pop continues to deconstruct the psychedelic pop, rock & folk of the 60s, 70s & 80s transforming the elements into  an eclectic soundtrack for the present world.

Now Louder!

After returning to a full band line-up for an online project during the pandemic, the duo Ian and Liza recruited Nick Evans, formerly of the Reading pub rock scene, on drums. They were joined by multi-musician wizard Chris Bayne (Oxford Beatles, Balkan Wanderers) on bass who co-produced their latest CD World of Illusion.  The current line-up features the powerful grooves generated by Oxford veteran bass-playing boffin Steven Green.
