Formed in 1999 by twin brothers Xiaochuan and Xiaoquan Li, today the band consists of six members led by Yan Shuai (lead vocal), Abe Gan (keyboard), Xiaochuan Li (lead guitar), Xiaoquan Li (bass guitar), Zhang Shuai (guitar) and Liu Jia (drums).
Tookoo artfully blends elements of emo, indie, and rock sounds, resulting in rousing, brash and energetic songs with melodies you can't get out of your head and a lead vocal you won't soon forget.
This cool, well-established rock band sings their original songs in Chinese and English and has released seven independent EPs since 2001. These EPs were re-released in 2008 through Scream Records as a compilation album titled 7 Years.
Tookoo have directly contributed to the development of rock music in China, performing to thousands of fans at hundreds of shows and music festivals across the country such as the Midi Music Festival 2002 to 2009, Modern Sky Music Festival and the MAX Festival, and at many rock venues that are now established across China.
In addition to touring annually across China, Tookoo have started to build a following across North East and South East Asia. The band has performed at Rock-It 2006 (Hong Kong), Live Show Vol.5 (Hong Kong), BayBeats 2007 (Singapore), Laundry Volume Series (Malaysia), Sutasi 2008 (Singapore) and One Movement Festival (Australia) to name a few.
