KOSER

We’ve been enjoying the music of KOSER for quite some time now, via Musikfest discovery and the Philly music scene.  Koser is the namesake of the band and is the frontwoman with powerhouse performance chops, and a brilliant flair for melody and finding that hook that has you coming back for more.

During last year’s Musikfest Daily LIvestreams, the universe did its magic, by having the schedule bring on Koser along with the people behind Soberplatz, and then the magic took over.  Koser is herself on a sober journey, celebrating 8 years now.

Richard Liu was at that Daily Livestream last summer as well, and will join as our guest co-host for the episode.  He’s connected with both ArtsQuest and Sync Recovery and was a driving force behind making Soberplatz happen last year, and it’s return again at this year’s Musikfest.

KOSER is playing a free show on the Levitt SteelStacks this Friday, June 5th and it’s called the Path to Soberplatz, to announce it’s return.  And they are also performing at Musifkest again this year as well.

This interview is sure to touch on a number of powerful and interesting topics, and it sounds like KOSER might perform live during the broadcast.  Please tune in and share your thoughts and questions during the livestream!

Band Bio

KOSER is an alternative rock band known for fusing brooding textures with explosive energy. The group draws from post-punk, grunge, and electronic influences to craft a sound that’s delightfully soulful and sonically rich. Their music balances heavy, cinematic atmospheres with razor-sharp hooks and honest lyricism. Formed in 2022, KOSER is made up of 5 virtuosos whose live shows channel the same energy as their recordings— moody, immersive, and sneakily powerful. Pairs well with Mannequin Pussy, Radiohead, and Hayley Williams.
