Origins and History
[edit]Sputnik Kaputnik started out as a garage-punk band in Lincoln, Nebraska, performing and recording since at least 2011[1] when the band was known as Sputnik Kaputnik and the Cherry Mashers. There was early success with an appearance in 2013 on Chic-A-Go-Go[2], a children's dance show on Chicago Access Network Television (CAN-TV).
After internal disputes about the direction of the music, the Cherry Mashers left the band and the Technical Manuals joined in 2014.[3] Although there were some positive reactions to the new lineup,[4] one critic describe the sound as "simplistic, forgettable."[5] The band responded with a double-album release show[6] and has been performing at Lincoln Exposed every year since 2012.[7] The band is known for an infatuation with turkey burgers.[8]
The band has shifted to a synth-pop sound[9] and now known simply as Sputnik Kaputnik. Their most recent album release was performed in 2023 at the Zoo Bar[10]
