Cold War Kids lead singer Nathan Willett gets meaningful and deep
during a long-distance chat with LiQUiFY’s Rachel Syers as he prepares
to pack for Byron Bay’s biggest New Year’s party at Falls Festival.
N
athan admits he’s far removed from the
typical California surfer dude. Having
just clocked up 10 years as lead singer for
successful LA indie rock act Cold War Kids,
Nathan chuckles about how in the early days
of branding the band, it could have been a
risk to promote the fact that he loved finding
the ultimate peacefulness deep in the barrel
on the beaches just half an hour from his
home in East LA.
