Takka Takka

Takka Takka is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York. Performing since 2006, the band's members include Gabe Levine, Conrad Doucette, Rene Planchon and Craig Montoro. Takka Takka began when Levine returned from a "near-disastrous" year in Texas. Back in Brooklyn, he began recording demos of new material, and recruited some old friends to help him work out a live set. Takka Takka soon played its first show in a basement in Williamsburg in March 2006. Takka Takka's constantly rotating line has seen a new band with each album. Doucette and Levine remain the only constant members. In April 2006, the group began recording in the Brooklyn studio Seaside Lounge, resulting in their first album, We Feel Safer at Night. The album impressed Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, who invited the band to accompany them on a high-profile U.S. tour in fall 2006. Takka Takka traveled to Britain in February 2007 to play their first London gigs, and to Austin, Texas, for SXSW in March 2007. In May 2007, the band signed to Ernest Jenning Record Co.
