Last night’s @bambaranyc.bsky.social gig at #ThePortlandArms - a masterclass in taking advantage of a small venue to interact with the crowd and bring them into the show. Loud, and sweaty, and dynamic in all the right ways.

A black and white photo of Reid Bateh of the band Bambara, on stage at The Portland Arms, Cambridge, UK.

Reid is at the front of the stage with his bandmates behind him. His right arm is raised as he sings into the microphone that he holds in his left hand.

Bambara | Feature Interview — POST-TRASH

'As with Doves or Interpol around the turn of the millennium, Bambara look set to bring music imbued with equal parts melancholy and menace into the mainstream.'

"Birthmarks" by Bambara is our Album of the Day.

Bambara, “Birthmarks”

On their fifth record, the deathrock trio's music remains dangerous, thrilling, and more than a little dramatic.
