| Psychedelic-glam-punk-pop band Koala started life in the midlands as a collaboration between school friends Martin Cadwallader (guitars/vocals/keyboards) and Gaz Evans (bass/vocals/samples) and occasional computer geek, Tim Paul. moving to south london they were joined by swiss drummer Daniel Strittmatter (ex-High Llamas, Mike Scott, Ian Mcnabb, Colournoise) where they cemented their love of Husker Du, Beach Boys, Slade and the Flaming Lips into one very loud noise.
After thieving as much free time in any studio they could find, Koala have completed their debut album, the mighty 'DO NOT BE AFRAID'. Released in December 2004 by CO-POP records in the UK and Ireland, the album has been heaped with praise.
Not wishing to rest on their laurels, the band have already commenced work on their second album, to be released in early 2006. |
