Nanaki was formed by Mikie Daugherty(Guitar/Keyboard/Programming) and Emma Ryan(Bass/Artwork) in 2001, while Circus World was on hold.
The duo were then joined by Circus World guitarist Steve Halsall and drummer Matt Gell and started to win over audiences with their intense, explosive live performances. The recent addition of a third guitarist, Dan Ankers has added an extra dimension to the bands sound.
The Band have released their debut album 'Fashion Is The Enemy Of All Art' and are currently working on it's follow-up.
