When performing their song 'Nakamarra' the crowd really got into the performance and began cheering on the band after each small moment where lyrics were not present. The band, when performing live are a rare breed of artists, taking the time to talk to the fan base and tell them little back stories relating to the creation of songs, or even just having a bit of banter, they work a crowd well with ease and finesse. Men lie, women lie, facts however speak for themselves and their talent is a testimony for their skill. Just missing out on a Grammy, you can see that they are a very talented band and that is me speaking without bias, as a neutral source of information. I judged too soon because, they aren't even a boyband and the lead singer is extremely beautiful with a voice to match Nai Palm, yes it sounds like Napalm and with the fire they come with that name is completely allowed!
You tell me Hiatus Kaiyote and I tell, you they are from the heavens themselves!Ī band that specialises in Neo-Soul, a genre you rarely ever hear of, this may even be your first time coming across this genre, but I assure you if you put your faith in Hiatus Kaiyote, then you, my friend have nothing at all to fear!įinding them by accident I will admit, as I am a fan of Q - Tip and a friend told of a collaboration he had done with an Australian band, I will admit that I was a bit confused due to the fact that I did not even realise there were many Australian artists out there and that Q - Tip would perform with a boyband. Since then, the band have released another, similarly acclaimed studio album entitled “Choose Your Weapon”, and continued to be one of the most exciting and esoteric groups of their generation. This re-released version of the album included a collaboration with A Tribe Called Quest legend Q-Tip, who's just one of the many musical icons who've given the band their seal of approval. The year after they formed, the band self-released their debut album “Tawk Tomahawk”, an album that was so acclaimed that it netted them a deal with the Sony Masterworks imprint label Flying Buddha, who re-released the album in 2013. She has been the driving force of the band since the very beginning, at first performing solo concerts before drafting in bassist Paul Bender, keyboardist Simon Mavin and multi-instrumentalist Perrin Moss to form a proper band around her songs. It would take a very special band to live up to that, but fortunately, in the capable hands of lead singer and songwriter Nai Palm, Hiatus Kaiyote live up to that promise and more besides. In an age where a lot of artists go to extreme, and some might say ill-advised, lengths to stay ahead of the curve and out of the crowd, Hiatus Kaiyote go further than most by describing their sound as “Multi-Dimensional, Polyrhythmic Gangster Sh*t”.
