Kytes

KYTES is an award-winning independent band from Munich. Since their founding in 2015, the trio of Michael Spieler, Kerim Öke and Timothy Lush has grown step by step over the years to become one of the most exciting bands in Europe. The three musicians, who have been friends since kindergarten, have found their own pace through their music and a unique mix of freedom and familiarity. KYTES have been publishing their songs since 2018 via their own label “Frisbee Records”, which have now been streamed over 150 million times.

KYTES define themselves by their self-created genre of “Indie Rave”, in which they combine their old love “Indie” and their new love “Rave”. This mix also makes the band's live show a very special experience — from catchy sing-along hooks to Ravey electronic sets to intimate unplugged moments.

In their new single “Cope”, KYTES question their handling of the daily flood of bad news and deal with self-doubt and doom scrolling spirals. The fast, hypnotic, almost reggaeton-like beat propels the song forward; guitars and synthesizers merge, and frontman surprises players with unexpected, memorable and unique vocals.

The band's new album “Indie Rave” will be released on 31.07.2026. The band will then go on their biggest tour to date. The “Indie Rave Tour 2026 & 2027” comprises more than 35 concerts across Europe. In December 2025, the band will play an exclusive concert to mark the band's 10th anniversary in Münchner Strom — at the place where it all began for them 10 years ago.
