Hiatus Kaiyote KCRW Live Performance
Australian avant-R&B geniuses Hiatus Kaiyote stopped by the Apogee Studios with KCRW in Los Angeles recently, taking the time to perform an extended live set and sit down between tunes to dish a bit about their recent work. The quartet is still riding a wave of momentum and praise following their second LP Choose Your Weapon, and have clearly polished tunes like "Molasses" and "Shaolin Monk Motherfunk" into shining gems of their catalog. Along the way, we're also treated to "Nakamara," "Laputa" and other tunes.
"It was the ultimate amount of music that you could--before the audio quality started to suck. It would have been longer," lead vocalist Nai Palm said of Choose Your Weapon, which clocks in at a massive 74 minutes. There's also talk of "The Badu-Prince cheat codes"you're going to want to get up on that. Watch the hour-long performance below, and if you're in the UK or Europe be sure to catch HK out on tourthis video itself should be all the convincing you'll need.
