Get ready for a large dose of pop from Kakuzi at The Star, West Street, Dorking on Saturday May 7 at 8.30pm. With Alastair Lawrenson on vocals and synth, Alexander Mackworth-Praed on bass, David Medlicott on drums and clarinet, and Lucas O’Neill on percussions and guitar, this four piece from Leatherhead produce a unique sound drawn from influences such as Bloc Party, The Clash, Coldplay, Radiohead, Leftfield and Faithless.The band has been four years in the making, but has built up a following by playing locally. Now signed to indie label Major G, the band has enjoyed increased exposure having supported Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order fame on 23rd April. The bands first official EP, Sun Kissed Planet, was released in 2010 and received positive reviews from the UK music scene.
Words and Wars, their latest release, has been described as 'delicate, cool, leisurely, refreshing and very easy on the ears". Anybody seeking loaded basslines, with a retro and inspired tone should head to The Star on May 7th and enjoy the greatness that is Kakuzi.
