Tune into KALX Live! this Saturday, June 22nd at 9pm to hear the far out sounds of Pateka (FKA Aaron Space & his Underlings) with a live in-studio performance and interview hosted by Play Doe!
Pateka is an experimental art rock/soul act composed of keyboardist/vocalist Elihu Knowles, guitarist Dylan Ransley, bassist Quinn Girard and drummer Ryan Higley, as well as occasionally performing saxophonist Hayden Dekker. The group’s shared background as close childhood friends and jazz musicians deeply influences their soulful and experimental tunes. Their music has been compared to a variety of artists including Palm, Jon Bap, Sun Ra, Pulgas, Os Mutantes, and Standing on the Corner. The band is finishing production of their first full length studio album.
The members of Pateka live together in the Bay Area and perform regularly at local venues including the Independent, Bottom of the Hill, Eli’s Mile High Club, the Ivy Room, the Elbo Room, Thee Stork Club, El Rio, and the Little Hill Lounge.
