Artist Info: Kekik

Kekik is a band formed in Istanbul by Enis Gümüş, Tolga Özüdoğru, Bora Okumuşoglu, and Cem Karaoğuz in February 2002. Although the band was founded while they were in university, the guitarists Enis and Tolga were playing some similar music back in high school. The band had no name for over a year, until they realized that they needed one, since they were going to play at the Istanbul Technical University Rock Festival. Ten days before that concert, they decided to name the band Kekik, which means "thyme" in Turkish. [read more...]
