"Everyone who has come in contact with it has promoted it," says Nai Palm. The musician Taylor McFerrin came across Hiatus Kaiyote on tour in Australia, and soon the word spread like wildfire. Nai Palm had actually worked as fire dancer in Melbourne before she focused on music. Hiatus Kaiyote played their first gig at the Bohemian Masquerade Ball among sword swallowers, fire twirlers and gypsy death core bands - a setting that suited their eclectic nature. From their first session, the band members shared a sort of telepathic connection. By chance, two of the four musicians shared a flat and the others lived nearby. Bender brought multi-instrumentalists Perrin Moss and keyboardist Simon Mavin into the equation and the electric, organic nature of Hiatus Kaiyote was set in motion. One year later, the two began to collaborate on compositions that felt intuitive. Her performance with a pink nylon-stringed guitar at a small Melbourne club inspired bass player Paul Bender to seek her out. "I always knew I wanted to be in a band, but I never knew it could be my own conversation," she says.
Singer songwriter Nai Palm was the gravitational force that crystallized the vision for Hiatus Kaiyote's brand of future soul.
HIATUS KAIYOTE BUILDING A LADDER SERIES
The four band members suggest that it was fate that brought them together through a series of coincidences in their native Melbourne, Australia. Each song whispers of delicious, ancient stories untold. On the band's debut album Tawk Tomahawk it's as if the vast desert landscape has opened up, borrowing ingredients from far-reaching lands to concoct a distinctive flavor that is the essence of all its parts. The music of Hiatus Kaiyote strikes the perfect note merging poetry and polyrhythms. HIATUS KAIYOTE IS THE SOUND OF SERENDIPITY.Įvery so often a band comes along that captures the collective imagination, a band that has all the essential elements in place to become a musical movement.
