Berlin alt-rock duo: Adar Alfandari (vocals, guitar) and Matan Goldstein (drums). ’90s alternative, blues and garage grit, heavy grooves and fuzz. Onstage, the setup stays stripped down; the show doesn’t.

Bio

Small setup. Big show.

The Running Ducks are the Berlin alt-rock duo of songwriter and guitarist Adar Alfandari and drummer Matan Goldstein. Their music moves between ’90s alternative rock, blues and garage grit, with heavy grooves and complex, expressive songs that somehow stay criminally catchy.

The band started as the group assembled to tour Adar Alfandari’s second solo album, Amateur Architect. It refused to stay temporary and grew into its own thing: a duo built on the creative partnership between Alfandari and Goldstein.

Latest single I Ain’t Your Med (October 2026) arrives ahead of their debut album.
