KoOk

KoOk is a grunge-based band, formed in Taiwan in 2000. Band members are Leslie (Vocals/Guitar), Chen (Bass) and Luke (Drums).

The band released their first full-length album, "State Of Chaos" which highlighted their long-established unique musical style, in 2008. Their second album, "The Unbearable Heaviness Of Being", garnered the band much more attention. In addition to the grunge factor, this album included more elements of rock, metal and punk. Their live performances are strong, dynamic and engaging, and is the reason fans love them.

Thematically, the lyrics describe the various facets of the human condition-one's mood and state of mind. The subject matter gives the listener fodder for their own self-reflection, or stimulus for their own imagination. The powerful melodies provide both passion and solace, further augmenting the experience.

KoOk has performed hundreds of times over the course of their eleven-year existence. In 2011, they made their first overseas tour, appearing at the "Music Matters" festival in Singapore. In the future, the band hopes to continue playing in other countries around the world, and continue to release new material.
