Bambara’s KEXP Studio Show

On October 8, 2025, post-punk outfit Bambara took over the KEXP studio for a four-song live session—blasting through “Hiss,” “Letters From Sing Sing,” “Holy Bones” and “Loretta.” Fronted by Reid Bateh (vocals) and Blaze Bateh (drums), with William Brookshire on bass/vocals, Sammy Zalta handling guitar, keys and samples, and Lilah Larson adding guitar and backing vocals, the band delivers raw, unfiltered energy straight to your speakers.

Behind the Scenes

Hosted by Troy Nelson and engineered by Kevin Suggs (with guest mixer Alec Rosenberg and mastering by Julian Martlew), the session was captured on camera by Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Luke Knecht and Ettie Wahl, then edited by Beckmann.
