15th November 2008
Leadmill
Start Time: 7:00pm
Kora play live at the Leadmill.
Talked about as the most explosive new talent in New Zealand for the last couple of years on the back of a truckload of awesome live gigs, Kora will be playing the Leadmill on the main stage on.
Featuring the 4 Kora brothers, Kora's self-titled debut album stormed to the top of the NZ album charts in its first week of release, knocking none less than Foo Fighters off the top spot.
"Kora" by Kora achieved Gold status in only its first week of release in New Zealand as the Maori band of brothers became only the second homegrown act to debut at Number 1 with their first release, in the last 20 years. The album has now spent6 months in the NZ top 20 and has gained Platinum status to boot.
Their spectacular live act, fusing roots, soul, techno, funk, metal and the haka, has already created havoc down under. Everyone who witnessed Kora's sell-out debut European performances last year will testify that this act kick it live. It's like The Prodigy meets Bob Marley and The Wailers.
"This was music with extremely loud bass and even more attitude. With big beat, dub, reggae, breakbeat, house and rock influences that drove the crowd wild and no doubt the whole London Kiwi workforce down the next day" - IDJ October 2007
Over 14s only.
