Boko Yout

Boko Yout are a Swedish band fronted by Paul Adamah, playing pop, rock and indie at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. The group performs on a bill that brings together an independent Swedish act and a long-established Leeds venue.

Boko Yout began as a solo project of singer Paul Adamah, who was born in Örebro in 1998, and became a four-piece in 2025 when bassist Kevin Stierne and drummer Joel Kiviaho joined. Their debut album GUSTO came out in September 2025 on the independent label Hoopdiggas Recordings. Its songs, including "9-2-5", "GUSTO" and "DEMOLITION MAN", draw on post-punk, funk-influenced bass lines and alternative rock, and the record follows a sequence of surreal therapy sessions with a fictional character, Dr. Gusto.

On stage, the four musicians work closely together, moving between tightly controlled grooves and sudden bursts of energy. Adamah combines singing with movement, theatrical monologues and humour, and the group's music, films and characters form part of the performance. The band has played Latitude and WOMAD in the summer, and in September 2025 A$AP Rocky invited them to perform "GUSTO" and "9-2-5" at Stockholm's Avicii Arena.

Brudenell Social Club is a live music venue at 33 Queen's Road in Burley, Leeds, which began as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The evening suits listeners who follow alternative and indie rock.
