Tookoo

Tookoo is a pioneering Chinese indie rock band that emerged from Beijing’s vibrant underground scene in the late ’90s. Founded in 1999 by frontman Xie Jiang (vocals/guitar), the group blends raw punk energy with post-punk and new wave textures, creating a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Known for their DIY ethos and relentless touring, they’ve become cult favorites, pushing boundaries in a music landscape often dominated by mainstream pop.

Over two decades into their career, Tookoo remains a live powerhouse, as heard on recent releases like *Live @ New Get Lucky* and *Live @ Nameless Highland*, which capture their signature high-voltage performances. Their 2022 single *Dance For Yourself* reaffirms their knack for catchy, rebellious anthems, proving why they’re still vital to China’s indie circuit. Whether in sweaty clubs or festivals, Tookoo keeps rallying fans to embrace individuality and rock out unapologetically.
