Hiatus Kaiyote: Nakamarra
A friend of mine recently turned me on to Hiatus Kaiyote, and I’m glad she did. The Australian neo-soul quartet has a buttery sound that’s fronted by singer/guitarist Nai Palm and supported by the fresh grooves of bassist Paul Bender.
Here’s a great clip of the band playing through their song “Nakamarra” live on WNYC’s Soundcheck. I’ve played it a dozen times and I bet you will, too.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.

These guys are the coolest. They’re making some of the most unique music out there right now, and I can’t wait to see what the new album is going to sound like. 5/4 can’t come soon enough!
