Who the hell are Cazimi?

Cazimi are a bunch of wizened old bastards that make awesome music. They have been described as “Not so much the illegitimate sons, but the genetically engineered progeny of luminaries such as Magazine, The Bunnymen, The Stranglers, Hawkwind, Killing Joke, John Barry and Erik Satie”. Bullshit? Maybe.

Cazimi have been played on Tom Robinson’s Mixtape and his Saturday show as well as local radio plays by Nicky Roberts at BBC Newcastle. The band released their debut album 'Late in the Day' in 2020 which is available on CD as well as through AWAL via Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, TIDAL etc.
