An extraordinary, nocturnally-inclined modernist rock band drenched in Southern Gothic, Brooklyn trio Bambara have evolved their macabre vision to perfection over their previous five albums.
The three members of Bambara – singer-guitarist Reid Bateh, his twin brother Blaze Bateh (drums), and bassist William Brookshire – first started playing together in junior high school and every moment since then have been obsessively honing their sound and vision.
Their story picks up pace after 2020’s breakthrough Stray album – a record whose sound offered a gnarly backdrop for Reid’s twisted midnight narratives. Having toured with Idles and Gilla Band pre-pandemic, this record put Bambara on the map. Don’t miss the trio’s explosive sound live in Bristol this April.
