Kora To Tour Australia

Self-described "heavy-metal-dub-funk-blues" five-piece Kora return to Australian shores in September for a run of east coast dates. In the three years since their maiden voyage across the Tasman, Kora has expanded their fan base outside of Kiwi expats thanks to their dynamic and awe inspiring live sets.

Sharing the stage with diverse acts such as Spearhead, Cog and Salmonella Dub on various tours and gracing the stages of festivals such as The Big Day Out and WOMAD, is testament to the bands sonic diversity. Their debut self-titled album, "Kora," was released in Australia in February this year to rave reviews, following a number one debut and platinum sales in New Zealand.

Kora is in stores now through Kora Ltd and Shock Records.
