In November last year, Alabama Shakes vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard announced that her new hardcore punk band, Kumite, would be making their live debut in Nashville on January 12, with all proceeds from the show being donated to local charitable organisations.

Live music booker Ben Mench-Thurlow was among the audience for the show at Basement East, which also featured Snooper, Inner Peace and Second Spirit, and he shared video footage of Kumite with the Lambgoat website, which you can view below.
