Hiatus Kaiyote

You tell me Hiatus Kaiyote and I tell, you they are from the heavens themselves!

A 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!
Finding 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.

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!

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. Men lie, women lie, facts however speak for themselves and their talent is a testimony for their skill.

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. 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 sound is very calming and so beautiful that you won't even know it's over until the instruments stop and you're left abandoned without the warmth of the bass and soulful singing.

I say, take a chance, you will not be disappointed.
