About Me |

'If you're looking for something more upbeat, then cast your net no further then Kobai. A six-strong bunch of glaswegians capable of making an absolute racket like Kasabian being raped by a synthesizer. Sideways. Adored by Xfm's Jim Gellatly, this is electro-punk that you can monkey-dance to, and it's prudent to pay a visit to a friend whose name is prefixed by the word 'chemical' before they take to the stage. A word to the wise.' - NME Over the years we have had the pleasure of sharing bills with some great bands such as The Fratellis, Blood Red Shoes, Shy Child, We smoke fags, Ladyfuzz, Dick Valentine, The Filthy Dukes, Mother & the Addicts, FO Machete, Shout out louds, Drive by Argument, Blackbud, We are the Physics, and Popup to name a few... For anyone coming to see us live we recommend you bring your own percussion and join in while you dance like the fiends you are!! www.kobai.co.uk/forum for cultural titbits and heated intellectual debate "Scottish band Kobai are a no-nonsense, six-piece slab of acid-tinged rock"- NME "The sound like early 90's dance music getting a broken old guitar shoved down its throat."- Jockrock.org "Rave-rock recklessness thats more brutal than a Glasgow kiss"- Gigwise.com "They're not here to fill your little world right up; they're here to piss on your barbecue and swear at your Nan"- culturedeluxe.com ""Serotonin" is a paranoid rush of guitar fuelled energy that propels itself along in an edgy drug-induced haze"- The Mag "...phsyched up acid techno tinged rock that sounds shit but honestly they are amazing..."- The Filthy Dukes "Mightily impressive... full of fervent energy, mischievous hooks and the sort of pumping energy that drives small bands to world wide domination, keep an eye out!"- Subba-Culcha.com "'Serotonin' is a triumphant amalgamation of solid indie-rock and rapturous electro dance, which simply equates perfection..."-contactmusic.com "This is the sound of future guitar music..."-roomthirteen.com "I'm in love with this band"-Jim Gellatley XFM Scotland Click to zoom in on my visitor map! |
