Think reverb-soaked guitar twang. Think pounding drum beats. Think cheesy organ sounds. Think thumping bass vibes. Shake all of that together — do not stir. Serve cool. That’s The Akulas.
Rooted in Ghent (Belgium) since 2005, inspired by the sixties’ sounds of surf music, Hammond craze and European beat!
The Akulas are Udo (Gretsch drums), Willem (Framus Star bass driven by a Fender Bassman 100), Benjamin (Nord organ) and Ruben (Fender Jaguar & Jazzmaster driven by a Fender Dual Showman Reverb and a Fender Reverb Tank).
