The Punkles
Groupe de musique Punk d'Allemagne formé en 1998
Membres du groupe : Marc Zimmermann, Andi Schmidt, Rudolph Naomi, Gary Schmalzl, Folke Jensen, Ronnie Henseler
The Punkles were a German band performing songs by The Beatles in punk style. They formed in 1998 in Hamburg, Germany, and was a side project of Prollhead!.
After a lot of touring around Europe they toured together with Beatallica in October 2005 and in Spring 2006. Unlike Beatallica they performed the Beatles songs "as they are", singing the same lyrics and playing cover versions of the originals, just a "little" faster and with a punk feeling.
They were quite successful in Europe, as well as in Japan, where their best of CD The Punkles 1998-2003 (2003), and the following album, Pistol (2004), both entered the Top 50. Their final album For Sale! was released in April 2006. They have not appeared in public since.
