About Kooyeh

Kooyeh are: Isaac Walker (Main Vocal, Keyboards) Sam Morrison (Main Vocal, Bass) Louie Michael (Drums and percussion) Papa Richie (Guitar) Yannick Rossette (Backing Vocals) Jace Excell (Backing Vocals) Nathaniel Sametz (Trombone) Jimmy Bowman (Trombone, Trumpet, Effects, Percussion) and Eugene Baker (Tenor Saxophone). Kooyeh, the newest nine piece on the block, has traversed the Blue Mountains to Melbourne to record and release their debut album Soul Cleansing. With a DIY home studio made from 20 mattresses and a walled mishmash of carpet that would make even the most relaxed landlord quake in their boots, Kooyeh have cultivated the kind of share-house work-life comraderie that has produced some of the worlds greatest acts and albums. Their live together, work together, play together attitude is reflected in their live shows, and audiences benefit from their synergy and their tight sound. Not a band to be easily labelled, their journey through reggae, soul, hip hop, dub and electronica keeps the group – and their growing crowds – on their toes. With four vocalists, a horn section and a skankalicious riddim section, Kooyeh deliver a high energy show that keeps the dance floor buzzing as the spotlight sweeps between each of the singers, the riffing horn players, funky organ, bluesy guitar, and all the while the driving force of the bass.
