"Kopasetic are doing wonderful things for roots, blues and folk music in Canberra"
- 2xxfm
Kopasetic is an energetic roots music powerhouse - dosing audiences with earthy rhythms and earnest messages over a melting pot of rock-reggae, soul, blues and folk music. The sextet thoroughly explores the limits of these genres, with bone-shaking off-beat grooves, psychedelic instrumentals and soulful ballads.
Kopasetic’s original music has seen the band booked to support the likes of Kim Churchill and Jeff Lang, as well as Glastonbury veterans True Vibenation & Gusto Gusto. The band is beloved in their hometown of Canberra/Ngunnawal, Australia - consistently drawing in large crowds to their releases and headline shows - from selling out the Street Theatre for the launch of ‘Petrified’, to pulling hundreds to the mountains for their headline sets at Corin Forest (Roots & Reggae in the Forest).
Fresh on the Australian scene, Kopasetic’s original music has already gained media attention, including from Triple J, with national airtime and being dubbed ‘magnificent and beautiful’ by host Nkechi Anele. The release of their recent single 'Petrified' saw BMA Magazine stamp the band with a five-star review.
Kopasetic are set to break out of their softer folk/acoustic catalog in mid-late 2024 with an upcoming EP of heavier rock-reggae inspired originals more reflective of their live show.
A must see for fans of The Cat Empire, The Teskey Brothes, Tijuana Cartel and Fat Freddy's Drop
