Kooii
Kooii's new album 'In this Life' is available in stores now through Vitamin Records. The album can also be purchased or downloaded through the vitamin website at www.vitamin.net.au. Kooii rises from Brisbane and shines a vibe of the city and it’s surrounds. Its music strikes a chord with young and old. Songwriter, singer and trumpet player, Peter Hunt, provides the seeds of most of the groups songs. He is joined by Dom Hede (drums), Tom Hinchliffe (bass), Lachlan Mitchell (guitar), Conan Griffiths (guitar) and Darcy McNulty (sax). Together they create the groups’ distinctive flow and sound that reflects the members’ love for reggae, jazz, african and folk music.

Kooii's debut album ‘Beads on a String’ (2005) is a landmark Brisbane release that captures their unique sound in a much-treasured collection of songs. Recorded in a humble West End studio, it showcases that brilliance of both the producer Paul Bromley (Beautiful Girls) and chief songwriter, Peter Hunt. It is an album of timeless quality that continues to generate interest and respect for Kooii, both locally and internationally.

Tracks from the album have received airplay in the US, Brazil, UK, Canada, France and community stations across Australia. The album made the top 20 and scored rotation on more than a dozen college stations in the US. They have appeared at festivals across Australia including The Woodford Folk Festival, The Kuranda Reggae Festival, Reggaetown ,Valley Fiesta and the band have toured up and down the East Coast alongside Blue King Brown and more. They were included as part of a compilation for the March 07 edition of the Rolling Stone magazine, featuring prominent Australian artists who have been a part of the John Butler Seed program.

Kooii began some 7 years ago as a duo with the intention to sing simple songs and harmonise. The music still manifests this but reaches further into levels created by the mix of musicians now in the group.
