The band was founded in 2018 and has been performing at concerts and festivals across Germany since then, including Southside, Deichbrand, Highfield, and Open Flair. The members met at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg during a band exchange program. ok.danke.tschüss received funding from Initiative Musik in 2019 and 2023 for production and marketing support.
