Navahodads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Navahodads were a roots/rock band from Sydney, Australia. They formed in 1995 and disbanded in 2003. The band was led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Brendan Kibble aka "Wig" of the Bam Balams. The Navahodads released two CD albums: "Mumbo Gumbo" & "Madame Mojo's". The band has been 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.
The band split up in 2003 when Kibble moved to the USA. Prior to splitting up, the band recorded an album's worth of new material, which to date remains unreleased.
