From Kunokini’s tantalising mélange of traditional and modern sound to the frenetic neurodiverse punk of The Fish Police, via Hilang Child’s dreamy, atmospheric slant, it goes without saying that the Kick-Off Gig for this year’s installment of UK/ID Festival offered a little something for everyone.
Although only comprised of three main members, Kunokini is flanked by a handful of additional players for their live performance. For UK/ID Festival, they even brought in a DJ to splice electronic elements into their otherwise acoustic-based sound.
They also debuted a new song called ‘Anak Panah’ (‘Child of Arrow’), written with Northern Irish singer-songwriter DANI - who was initially slated to join the performance - during their recent residency in the country.
