KOMLA live @ Zigfrid Von Underbelly, London, United Kingdom, Saturday 22nd October, 2011
If a bit of showmanship was needed then KOMLA certainly fits the bill. The trio of Leeno, Arthur and Kelpie provided an energetic and eclectic set collecting rock, blues, funk and balladry. They list their influences as Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, Curtis Mayfield and Level 42, but I would also throw in a little bit of Lenny Kravitz, suggested through Leeno’s velvety vocals and guitar play, the latter of which finds perfect company through Kelpie’s flamboyant style. Rather ashamedly it was easy to miss out on their drummer, Arthur, with the two duelists stealing all attention and never missing a trick from the ol’ Rock ‘n’ Roll handbook of stage antics. However, there was no denying an overall positive chemistry here, with telling smiles all round and a deep hunger for a more involved audience beyond the largely passive nature of the one we had. Still, this was an evening of uncertainty after all, which extended throughout the following sets.

- Favorite bands:
- Musical chameleons that grab you from the first beat and shake you, their unique blend of power rock - smokey sexy vocals over a roller coaster of beats and cutting guitar riffs - able to suddenly flip to soft and melodic. Nothing to compare to, no way of properly explaining - KOMLA is something you just have to experience to understand.

I produce a show on WHFR.fm public radio in Detroit that streams globally playing Black Rock/Alternative/Afropunk/Indie music. I'd like to include your music and maybe even have you in for an in-studio performance when you're in the area. Feel free to mail tunes or a press kit to me at the station, or send me your digital tunes, and I'll be happy to get them on the air.
