MKAI, four brothers from Cork who launched their new single ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’with a headline show last May 12th at Crane Lane following their debut at Canadian Music Week.

Since selling out the launch of their debut EP ‘Waiting’ at Crane Lane in 2014, MKAI have wowed crowds at prestigious festivals such as Electric Picnic, Dingle’s Other Voices Music Trail & Indiependence and were recently longlisted for the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition 2016. Upon their return from CMW they will embark on a nationwide tour of Ireland including Cork’s Crane Lane Galway’s Róisín Dubh, The Kasbah in Dolan’s Limerick and a secret location in Dublin. The Irish brothers are known for their high energy live performances.

With their previous EP ‘Waiting’ having reached no. 3 in the Irish iTunes charts, MKAI look set to top that achievement with their new single ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’. 

Press Quotes: 

Bristol Live Magazine: “Shimmering guitars and fragile vocals underpinned by versatile synths… Chuck massive choruses on top of that, and you’ll understand why MKAI are onto a winner.” 

Hot Press: “All adept players from an early age, MKAI incorporate wandering guitar figures, piano and electronics into songs replete with a strong sense of melody and urgency.” 

Goldenplec: “The immaculate production distinguishes ‘Waiting’ as a confident and sophisticated debut. Waiting certainly serves as a strong expression of the band’s abilities …a moment of lip-bitingly satisfying pop perfection. This polished debut provides an excellent showcase for MKAI’s wealth of talent.”
