High Climbers was born in 2012 by Bristol newcomers Karim Bouthera (France) and Mike Robertson (Australia). What initially started as a way to communicate soon grew into a strong friendship and obsession, and the boys enjoyed playing their eclectic brand of lofi psych-folk as a duo for several years until power couple Rob Burgess and Susanna Bar were brought into the fold on rhythm.
Now, over ten years later, High Climbers are a five-piece, joined recently by bassist and film maker Richard Edkins, who has ignited a new chapter in the band after returning from a three-year hiatus. Their sound is a melting pot of inspiration from their travels, from noise pop and psychedelia to funk and French hip-hop. Described as both ‘gorgeous’ and ‘wild’, High Climbers deliver immersive live performances and are still committed to bridging the cultural divide.
