Hi! I'm Arik, a musician from San Francisco, living in Leipzig, slowly turning into a German. I could write all about me, that I am nice, and open minded, but that's no fun! Me and my drummer, Chris, make up ELECTRIC TURTLES, a rock duo from Germany, and will be on tour November 5th - 13th in Israel, and we honestly have very few contacts there for shows! So, we are taking it upon ourselves to connect with you, and share our rock music with you. So, if you or your friends wanna have a cool free show, please talk to us :)
We like playing music, eating good food, hanging out and learning about other cultures.

Feel free to give us a listen, and we'd love to meet you soon!
