The Arkanes are a four piece Alternative/Rock band from Skelmersdale just outside Liverpool. Founded by Vocalist/Guitarist Chris Pate in late 2007 the band was made complete with Guitarist Adam Sheeran, Bassist/Vocalist Lee Dummett and Andy Long on the drums.. The band have been described as an 'Untouchable live act', with high energy live performances. Their first gig just 2 years back in The Gravy Train,Newton Le Willows, went down a storm and the band have since gone on to play in 25 different city's and towns across the UK and Europe including Dublin Castle, InTheCity @ Manchesters Drybar, Matthew Street Festival ( Europe's biggest free festival), Summer Rockwerk festival and The Boardwalk in Sheffield. They have also had some truly memorable nights at venues such as 'Moho Live' in Manchester, Liverpool's Zanzibar and The Cavern club, it was there that they where spotted by their current management and the bands cause started to pick up pace... Just a few months later a journey to Germany was taken upon to record their first Single “Sharpshooter” with talented producer Andre Horstmann (Slash, Rod Stewart, Cher), off the back of a top 10 hit he started to apply his trade to what we call The Arkanes today. Shortly after the recordings were completed the band signed a publishing deal with Fantastic Sounds Publishing bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the team surrounding the band. Since then the band have gone on to play at Festivals such as What Festival, Cockermouth Festival, Birmingham Arts Festival (Kerrang unsigned stage) and soon to the Eastwind Festival in India.
