Bambara is a Brooklyn-via-Georgia based noise/punk band that makes dark, brooding music with a Western slant. The trio, consisting of twin brothers Reid and Blaze Bateh and childhood friend William Brookshire, formed in Athens, GA before relocating to Brooklyn where they recorded and released their debut LP Dreamviolence (Arrowhawk, 2013), noise collage EP Night Chimes (Cold Moon, 2014), apocalyptic sophomore LP Swarm (Arrowhawk, 2016), and their Western Gothic concept LP Shadow On Everything (Wharf Cat Records, 2018). The acclaim from these releases has led to tours supporting IDLES, Daughters, A Place to Bury Strangers, METZ, Girl Band, Liars, Algiers and more.
