Description

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 in Atlanta, GA and pretty much every moment ever since then have been obsessively honing their sound and vision; first moving to Athens, GA and finally heading to Brooklyn where they?ve established their long-term base.

Their story really picks up pace after 2020?s breakthrough Stray album ? a record whose volatile and frequently explosive wall of sound offered a gnarly backdrop for Reid?s typically twisted midnight narratives. Having toured with Idles and Gilla Band pre-pandemic (both big fans), this was the record - powered by their propulsive ?Serafina single? and widespread 6Music support ? that really put them on the map on both sides of the Atlantic. They were duly signed to Bella Union (Wharf Cat in the US and today announce a major UK and European tour for 2025.
