Pateka is an experimental art rock/soul act composed of keyboardist/vocalist Elihu Knowles, guitarist Dylan Ransley, bassist Quinn Girard and drummer Ryan Higley, as well as occasionally performing saxophonist Hayden Dekker. The group’s shared background as close childhood friends and jazz musicians deeply influences their soulful and experimental tunes. Their music has been compared to a variety of artists including Palm, Jon Bap, Sun Ra, Pulgas, Os Mutantes, and Standing on the Corner. The members of Pateka live together in the Bay Area, CA. The group performs regularly at venues including the Independent, Bottom of the Hill, Eli’s Mile High Club, the Ivy Room, the Elbo Room, Thee Stork Club, El Rio, and the Little Hill Lounge. They recently changed their name to accommodate lineup changes and a new musical direction reflected in the forthcoming album.
