Navahodads - Bio
The Navahodads are a roots/rock band from Sydney, Australia. They were formed in 1995 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Brendan Kibble of the Bam Balams. To date the Navahodads have released two CD albums: "Mumbo Gumbo" & "Madame Mojo's". The band's sound can best be described as swampy r&b, with a roots/rock edge.
A critic once wrote: "Imagine Buddy Guy on a road trip, swinging by Tony Joe White's place, calling on Doug Sahm, and they all go to party in New Orleans...that's the vibe of the Navahodads." Interest generated by the "Mumbo Gumbo" album saw the band tour Spain in 1996. A hard to find live bootleg from the tour captures the band in scorching form.
As of 2004, the band appears to be inactive (i.e. split up ?). Brendan Kibble is said to be living in Houston, Texas. Rumour has it, prior to Kibble's moving to the USA, the band recorded an album's worth of new material.
