BIOGRAPHY

After two albums and over 20 million streams on their debut song “Washed Up”, Sharktank is set to embark on an exciting journey into the new year with their latest EP, Blindsided”. The new cryptic, genre-defying sound is brimming with transformative energy. Following a sold-out tour across Germany and Austria, a live session for NPR, and initial performances in the Netherlands and France, Eurosonic 2024 and The Great Escape 2024 the next significant milestone in their quest to establish themselves in the entire European music landscape. Just before that, the band joined the Giant Rooks on their 2024 European tour.

In 2020, Marco Kleebauer and Mile Lechner laid the foundation for Sharktank, and soon after, Katrin Paucz became an integral part of the prototype. Sharktank has evolved into an essential component of the Austrian and German music scenes. Since their debut with “Get it Done” in June 2021, anticipation has been building for their imminent international breakthrough. Demonstrating exceptional experimental spirit, they released their second album, “Acting Funny”, on March 24, 2023. The year 2023 was marked by a series of festivals, a nomination for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the Alternative category, and recognition as IMPALA Artists to Watch 2023.
