Bambara — “Loretta” Live on KEXP
On October 8, 2025, NYC post-punk outfit Bambara stormed the KEXP studio with a fiery rendition of “Loretta.” Fronted by Reid Bateh’s raw vocals and anchored by Blaze Bateh’s driving drums, William Brookshire’s bass grooves, Sammy Zalta’s layered guitars/keys/samples, and Lilah Larson’s guitar and backing vocals, the band delivers a tense, hypnotic performance that crackles with energy.
Behind the scenes, host Troy Nelson guides the session while audio engineers Kevin Suggs and guest mixer Alec Rosenberg sculpt the sound—mastering by Julian Martlew. Cameras by Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Luke Knecht, and Ettie Wahl capture every moment, with Beckmann also handling the edit. For more on Bambara, visit their site or tune into KEXP online.
