We are Klonk. An 8-piece party & festival band from the hills and valleys of Yorkshire.

We take traditional Eastern European melodies and mash them up with funk, metal, disco and hip-hop to create kick ass gypsy funk.

“You guys were awesome! Fiddling, scratching and tooting on point 👌”

“As a long time beatherder you were one of my best musical discoveries over the weekend - I stumbled into the tent and found myself crazily hypnotised by the musical combinations that you created - thank you 🥰”

“Fantastic show Klonk . My lads weren’t too impressed by the fringe bands we’d seen in town. But then we climbed the tiny stairs up to Record Junkee, you guys opened with Galvanize and their minds were blown!”

— Matt, Sheffield.

100% certified pure industrial grade rock-n-roll dynamite, crafting stone-cold killer cuts out of klezmer, Balkan, funk, jazz, metal and hip-hop.

Expect full-tilt horns and wild strings going toe-to-toe with a powerhouse rhythm section.

Expect scratching and sampling.

Expect a dance riot.

Faster. Louder. Klezmer.
