Adelaide sister duo Sophie and Brittany McKay. Doop w*p girls for Wasted Wanderers. Debut EP coming Feb 5th
Raised as roadies in a household of diverse musical influences, Adelaide sisters Nikai were always bound to make music together. Following in the footsteps of other folk/sister acts like The Waifs and First Aid Kit, the girls realised early on their completely contrasting voices blended together pretty damn well. It was one lazy Sunday afternoon in 2003 that they decided to give their jams a name
and so began the journey of two best friends writing music. Following years of writing, headline shows, supports and interstate gigs the sisters are finally laying down their most recent material and set to release their debut EP on Feb 5. Recording at Adelaide’s Vale studios with local roots/blues/rockers Wasted Wanderers, whom they also share the stage with as backing vocalists, the EP is very much a result of a huge 12 months for the girls both personally and professionally. Set to tour extensively with Wasted Wanderers in 2016, including performances at WOMAD and Clipsal 500, the girls will be simultaneously touring their EP and gearing up for the next chapter with one sister remaining in Adelaide and the other moving to Sydney.
