TEKE::TEKE is a Montreal-based psych-rock group that brings together traditional Japanese instruments, flute and trombone with raging guitars and a pulsing rhythm section. Composed of guitarists Serge Nakauchi Pelletier & Hidetaka Yoneyama, bass player Mishka Stein, drummer Ian Lettre, flutist Yuki Isami, trombone player Etienne Lebel, and performance artist and vocalist Maya Kuroki, TEKE::TEKE creates a sound reminiscent of 1960’s and 70’s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks with a frenetic modern twist.

With their unique blend of musical influences and instruments, TEKE::TEKE offers listeners an immersive experience that transports them to another time and place. Their music combines the energy of rock with the ethereal beauty of traditional Japanese melodies. The result is a captivating sonic journey that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

Whether performing live or in the studio, TEKE::TEKE's passion for their craft shines through in every note they play. Their dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories has earned them critical acclaim within the psych-rock genre. With each release, they continue to captivate audiences around the world with their innovative approach to music.

TEKE::TEKE is a unique beast. A seven-piece experimental-rock band that fuses traditional Japanese instruments and influences with loud fuzzy guitars, trombone, flute, keys and a powerhouse rhythm section to create a modern take on a sound reminiscent of 1960’s-70’s-era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks. The delirious yet sharp song arrangements are a perfect playground for vocalist Maya Kuroki’s wide range of singing and theatrical delivery, where her voice sometimes screams frantically and sometimes soothes. Live, the band’s frenetic energy is palpable, a vibrant punk circus that hits you like a storm. Their debut album ‘SHIRUSHI’ (or ‘signs of great changes to come’) takes you through a vast array of imagery and sonic landscapes. Recorded and mixed by Seth Manchester (Battles, Daughters) at Machines with Magnets and mastered by Heba Kadry (Bjork, Julianna Barwick), the resulting album is as storied and unique as the band itself.
