STREAMING AUDIO INTERVIEW

Billed as one of New Zealand’s most energetic live bands, five-piece act Kora will be traversing across the Tasman to bring us a shot of their concoction of dub, funk, reggae, hard rock, blues, house and everything in between. They’ve previously toured with fellow Kiwis Fat Freddy’s Drop and Salmonella Dub, but they’ll be playing a series of their own shows next before they jet off to Europe.

Hailing from Aotearea, the five-piece band (four whom are brothers) have been turning heads in their home country with their energetic live performances. Their influences are incredibly diverse but they manage to blend them all into a tight and heavy sound that is underpinned by a tight rhythm section and soulful vocal harmonies. Following the success of their EP ‘Volume’, they’re currently readying their debut album which is set for release later this year.

You can catch Kora at the following shows:

Fri 31st Aug – Prince of Wales, Melbourne
Sat 1st Sep – Gaelic Theatre, Sydney
Sun 2nd Sep – Beach Hotel, Byron Bay
