   About REK
MySpace Layouts

-

REK is a four piece heavy groove, Psychedelic funk-rock band of experienced and savvy players from San Francisco. REK brings influences from jazz and funk to create original rock music that truly moves people. Composed of veterans of the North coast music scene REK is an up and coming powerful band with an ever increasing following stretching from Portland to L.A.

REK's music can be heard featured on the public television cooking series The Hippy Gourmet airing nationally on PBS.

REK feels at times like they belong in a past era, before generic radio rock, and people often say, "why don't people play music like this anymore?".
