about
SUKOON is a South-Asian rock band based in Mississauga (a city near Toronto). Initially formed in Pakistan, co-founder Irfan Pasha (Guitars/Backing Vocals) brought Sukoon to Canada when he moved to Toronto in 2005.

The last piece of the puzzle was in place and, armed with fresh-faces and new material, Sukoon was ready to roll. Sukoon played their comeback show on April 7th, 2007 at the Kilt Pub in Scarborough alongside veteran acts like Zzen and Carma.
