Paradies is a rock band founded by brothers Kevin & Robert Klingenschmid. Being an active local and touring musician since 2005, and being 10 years Robert's senior, Kevin waited for many years to be able to enjoy playing music with his brother. Combining their skills, Kevin as songwriter, lyricist, drummer and vocalist, and Robert as songwriter, guitarist, and bassist; the brothers laid down the foundation of what would become their first record, which is currently being recorded. Garnering inspiration from acts such as Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Carlos Santana, Avenged Sevenfold, Muse, Nevermore, and others; Paradies is essentially a love letter to classic rock with a modern sheen. Upbeat rhythms, earth shattering grooves, relentless riffing, soothing melodies, aggressive vocals, nostalgic vibes, and soaring harmonies comprise the Paradies sound. Paradies found its first full lineup in late 2020. They have since played a plethora of local showcases, as well as national festivals. After a hiatus in 2024 due to Kevin joining the legendary Yngwie Malmsteen as his touring drummer, Paradies is back with a new lineup and songs. Featuring former guitarist Andrew Welch, now on drums, Aegean Kennedy on guitar, and Kai Kennedy on Bass; Paradies is back with a vengeance. The Paradies tide is rising to take you on a voyage of new and familiar sounds, seeking to inspire thought and emotion.
