About

Back in 2002, Ekaitz and Bortx started jamming together, making the first steps as a band. They began looking for a singer, as neither of them had the kind of voice required. In July of that year they contacted David, who entered the group as the singer and guitar player. Some months later, they found a drummer, Tito. The band started composing the songs of what would go in "Hutsa" (their first cd) and first gigs were scheduled. Realizing that they wanted to use instruments in addition to those traditionally found in a rock or metal band, Bortx started programming synths and samplers, reinforcing the music. One of the band members then had an accident, and because of that the recording of first CD had to be delayed. Finally, in September of 2003, they went to Sonido XXI studios where their debut was recorded, and Kudai were assisted by San Martin brothers. In June of 2004, first CD "Hutsa" was distributed under Oihuka's label. In September, the videoclip for the song "Ni naiz" was shot by director Fran Araujo, and it was played on soon played on television programs, receiving positive feedback. Gazte Sariak (from EITB channel) nominated the video as best basque video. Though they win that award, the nomination itself was a great success for the band. In August of 2004, Alber Nekrotech remixed "Ni naiz", giving to it a more danceable vision. In 2005, while continuing live performances, Kudai started composing and preparing their next album. In November they entered the same studio that they used for their debut album, and recorded their second CD "Arima eroslea" (soul buyer). Compilation appearance(s): - "Ezin ahaztu", "Aldaketa badator" on Metal Norte III (Heaven Musik, 2013, 2CD)
