Dark post-punk and rock infused with the sound of Southern Gothic—the Brooklyn-based trio Bambara has perfected their macabre vision over the years. The band members have been playing together since their high school days and have worked tirelessly ever since to refine their sound.

Their breakthrough came in 2020 with the album Stray. This record brims with explosive sound, providing the perfect backdrop for the dark and often unsettling tales of lead singer Reid Bateh. In 2022, the band released Love on My Mind, an EP that serves as both a powerful affirmation of Bambara’s signature sound and a promising glimpse into their future.

Support: Cold Union
Cold Union is a darkwave duo formed by Julie and Charles Morose, blending post-punk melancholy with icy electronic textures. Founded in Poland in 2022 and influenced by 80s music, the band solidified their sound while living in Iceland. Their debut album, Deep in My Memory, explores themes of love and isolation, merging vintage synthesizers with electric guitar. Now based in the Netherlands, Cold Union continues to craft emotionally raw, atmospheric music, driven by their shared passion and creative partnership.
