Sifaka are a 5-piece rock'n’soul band from Leeds. Sifaka’s raw ‘gravel-Stax’ sound combines bucolic English lyrics with the unmistakable country soul of Nashville and the Deep South, inspired by Van Morrison, Traffic, St Paul and the Broken Bones and The Alabama Shakes.
An integral part of the Leeds music scene, Sifaka have supported Kaiser Chiefs and Pete Doherty at Bingley Music Live, Toureg legends Imarhan at the Brudenell Social Club, and Melt Yourself Down at The Wardrobe. Following a string of UK Festivals (Live at Leeds, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Bath International Music Festival, HowTheLightGetsIn) Sifaka’s last EP Launch was covered in the New York Times and named BBC Introducing’s 'Gig of the Week'. Their Sifaka Sessions have become a staple of the Leeds scene, consistently selling out and celebrating the unique art scene.
