About

Fronted by Identical twins; Gemma and Violet of Welsh, New Zealand and Egyptian heritage, born into a home of well-travelled musicians and artists. Eclectically unique guitarist/singer Ruben was fed on roots music by his notorious guitarist father. Bassist Stefan; from a classical/jazz background, writing and singing the theme tune with his multi-instrumental powers. Guitarist Matt; is the Bridgend-born cowboy that plays operatic melodies on slide inspired by folk, country and psychedelic rock. Drummer Tom was played Bach as a newborn birthing his fine-tuned ears.

This special uniting of diversity breathes out of NOOKEE performances and collaborative writing. Driven by layered blood harmonies woven into old school, sunny-side-up rhythm and blues. A big experimental soup of Soul, Latin, catchy licks and slide, all glazed with punchy aesthetics to quench the hunger of your eyes and your ears.

Wedi'i flaen gan efeilliaid unfath; mae Gemma a Violet o dreftadaeth Gymreig, Seland Newydd ac Eifftaidd, wedi’u geni i gartref cerddorion ac artistiaid. Cafodd y gitarydd/canwr eclectig unigryw Ruben ei fwydo ar gerddoriaeth ‘roots’ gan ei dad - gitarydd drwg-enwog. Stefan y basydd; o gefndir clasurol/jazz, yn ysgrifennu a chanu'r ‘themetune’ gyda'i bwerau aml-offerynnol. y gitarydd Matt yw’r cowboi a aned ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr sy’n chwarae alawon operatig ar sleid sydd wedi’i hysbrydoli gan roc gwerin, gwlad a seicedelig. Chwaraewyd y drymiwr Tom Bach fel babi, yn eni ei glustiau mân.

Mae’r amrywiaeth arbennig hwn yn anadlu allan o berfformiadau ac ysgrifennu cydweithredol NOOKEE. Wedi'i gyrru gan harmonïau haenog wedi'u plethu i mewn i'w rhythm ‘old-school’ heulog. Cawl arbrofol mawr o Enaid, Lladin, oll wedi’u gwydro ag estheteg fachog i dorri newyn eich llygaid a’ch clustiau.
