Nice reaction and I'm glad you guys enjoyed this one! Around the time they filmed this video they had recently added a permanent bassist. Before that they had different bassist perform with them at live performances. If you want to hear a song with some more bass try their song Concrete Walls! It's in English and has a pretty cool bass part! The singer used to be a prison guard and wrote the song from the perspective of an inmate.. Enjoy 🤘😊🤘 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHyUfalpeJKbq8U

I haven't heard of them before, I think its time I checked them out. Thank you. The band looks like they are more Polynesian (I recognise some Samoan elements and words), the backdrop looks New Zealand. It is a war club in his hand, used in both war and dance in the Polynesian culture (I am no expert or even a rank armature). If it was Samoan then the club would be a nifa otti, If it is a Maori club it is a patu.
