Kookaburra is a blistering post-punk quintet based in Antwerp, Belgium. With their feverish, sweaty energy, they bring an irresistible chaos to every show, where the line between performance and experience blurs. Raw, unrelenting, and ominous, Kookaburra’s sound is a rattle of jagged guitars, groovy bass and primal rhythms, filled with a sinister intensity. But don’t be fooled—behind the frenzy, they craft catchy songs that stick with you long after the last note fades.

Since their debut album Dry Eyes / White Mice in 2020, recorded at Hightime Studio with Thomas Valkiers, the band has been anything but predictable. Their 2023 EP Spot Me From Outer Space shifts away from their earlier garage sound and dives deeper into darker, more psychedelic territory, hinting at new depths and experimentation and incorporating electronics and oriental rhythms. Always DIY, always raw, Kookaburra is a band that feels as much as they sound. With each release, they push further into their own fever dream—creating a world that is both thrillingly surprising and fiercely memorable. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s next.
