Founded in Düsseldorf in spring 2018, The Artakees play a blend of classic garage punk and modern power pop. Their guitar riffs are reminiscent of the legendary The Kinks, while their thumping bass and compact grooves are reminiscent of the magnificent The Sonics. With the singer's bluesy voice, The Artakees create a combination of catchy melodies paired with fuzzy guitar riffs and the raw energy of Medway punk.
After various musical projects, Alex, Flo, Niklas, Marc, & Jörn came together at a friend's garage party. The idea of working together musically evolved over the course of joint rehearsals into the goal of quickly performing as a band. Their first stage appearances followed in the summer of 2018, including in Essen, Frankfurt, and Bremen.
