Safari Room - Full Performance | WCPO Lounge Acts

Not many indie rock bands can fit blistering guitar solos into their moody songs, but Nashville's Safari Room sure can. The band formed when the quartet met while attending music school at Belmont College in Nashville. "We all did music school and were definitely playing in different groups," singer/guitarist Alec Koukol explained. "Safari Room came out of my writings and I brought these guys along on it. We've been going heavy since 2018." Shortly before the pandemic brought the world to a halt, Safari Room were just finishing up their debut full-length, 'Look Me Up When You Get There.' The band decided to stay the course, and the album dropped in July of 2020. "We might as well just open up the door and let folks in rather than holding on to it and waiting," Koukol said. "We'll get to go tour when get to go tour; which is happening now." On their album, Safari Room blends dreamy melodic indie rock with power-pop sensibilities. Guitarist Chris Collier is notable for his ability bust out impressive licks without overpowering the dream-live vibe. Safari Room performed four songs from the album for their WCPO Lounge Acts session at The Lodge KY in Dayton, Kentucky.
