Kusikia recently, solemnly, and excitedly moved to Portland, Oregon in January 2009 from Tacoma, Washington, where we met and lived happily for over two years! Our most current release, TURTLE WARS, is our second album, which we self-released in October ‘08 after a lot of hard work and procrastination. Tho we are proud of TURTLE WARS, nothing conveys the raw intensity of Kusikia like our live shows :)
These days we are laying low in Portland, and are planning to release our new songs soon, possibly on a split or two with friends, as well as an ep of improvisations from the TURTLE WARS recording sessions.
For booking, questions, comments, or love letters, please email kusikia@gmail.com, or message us here
ps- kusikia is a verb in Kiswahili that means "to hear" and "to feel"
for those unsure - koo-see-kee-ah - say it really fast three times over and you're good
