Maybe you start thinking about some words that up to this point have meant the most to you. Maybe you pick those words up and dust them off and hold them up to a hotel room light and take a real good look at them. You poke your finger through their shine and peel off their golden coating, and for the first time you can see the inside of those words, and you are actually not too surprised at all to find that the insides of the words and the words themselves haven’t got a goddamn thing to do with each other.

kokomo is an instrumental rock band from Germany. We like to play as much as possible to present our own massive sound mixed with lovely melodies and indie-music influenced dance parts. We are young and strongly motivated. We try to do everything by ourselves, but we also love to work with our friends all over the world. We know that we didn’t reinvent the wheel, but hey, we just wanna have a good time and hope that we sometimes can be different and that some people like our stuff.
kokomo was formed in the middle of 2008 by Oliver Ludley, Rene Schwenk, Tobias Stieler and Benamin Helig. Half a Year later we went on our first tour. After that we played a lot single shows, visited different countries and shared staged with a lot of great bands like God is an Astronaut, This Will Destroy You, Junius, Caspian, Khuda and many more. In November 2009 we self-released our first record called “Matterhorn Bob and the Black Fair” and went on tour through Germany, France and the UK. In April we released a Split-LP with Kasan on Mayiniax Records. Our second album “If Wolves” was again recorded by ourselves and has been released in April 2011 on Dunk!Records and I.corrupt.records. We are looking forward to present the new Stuff live on hopefully many concerts this summer!
