German four piece, Rikas, take over Walmart and more at SXSW


Rikas’ new video “Up All Night” was filmed in a Walmart in Austin during their US debut at SXSW- it’s a fun one! 

The single was co-produced by Rado, “one of indie rock’s most in-demand producers” (Billboard). “Up All Night” captures the joy in losing sleep over a new love, with lovesick lyrics and staccato keyboard that imbue the track with a giddy feel. 

Influenced by artists like David Bowie, Quincy Jones, Tyler the Creator, and Phoenix, this band looks like they are straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. Performing with artists like Alice Phoebe Lou, Milky Chance, and Parcels, they have been taking Europe by storm.
