KOBI are an alternative indie-rock band based in the Highlands of Scotland; in hiatus since 2005, a newly energized KOBI re-emerged in summer 2011 with a fresh set of material and a renewed vigor to perform together. Having spent the time in-between developing as musicians and songwriters, the KOBI of 2012 are an altogether bolder, more coherent prospect all round.
Having impressed at a series of intimate dates and a selection of key Scottish festivals across the summer, the band are rapidly developing into a powerful proposition in the live environment, and quickly building a strong following throughout the country.
Keen to consolidate a wide range of influences, KOBI remain an artistically disparate outfit, inventive, interesting and hard to pin down, yet accessible and highly melodic. One things for sure, this is no exercise in nostalgia; KOBI haven’t come back to life to re-hash old songs and reminisce about days gone by, they have come to make new music and embrace fresh ideas, but thankfully one thing remains as it was, they will do what they always have done, kick down doors and grab attention.
