TEKE::TEKE is a Canadian psychedelic rock band, whose music blends Japanese rock and surf rock influences. [1] They are most noted for their album Shirushi, which was a longlisted nominee for the 2021 Polaris Music Prize. [2]

The band was formed by guitarist Serge Nakauchi Pelletier, trombonist Étienne Lebel and drummer Ian Lettre, originally as a Takeshi Terauchi tribute band, after they discovered Terauchi's music while on tour with rapper Boogat. [3] They added guitarist Hidetaka Yoneyama, bassist Mishka Stein and flautist Yuki Isami and made their live debut in a 2017 show at the Distorsion Festival in Montreal; [3] by the time of the band's second show at the Pop Montreal festival, they had added vocalist Maya Kuroki and evolved from a straight Terauchi cover band to performing original material inspired by Japanese eleki music. [3]

Their debut EP Jikaku was released in 2018, [1] and Shirushi, their full-length debut album, was released in May 2021 on Kill Rock Stars. [4]

They followed up in 2023 with Hagata, which was longlisted for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize. [5]
