Lunik is a band from Switzerland. There are currently four members.

Lunik started in 1997 with Adi Amstutz, Luk Zimmermann, Mats Marti, Walo Müller and Anton Höglhammer. Singer Rahel "Jaël" Krebs joined the band in 1998 and Anton Höglhammer left the line-up. 1999 saw the release of their debut album "Rumour", recorded largely in an atmospheric trip hop style. Bassist Walo Müller left the band after the accompanying tour, and the second album "Ahead" (2001) saw the band steering towards a pop sound. Oli Müller supported the band as bassist in the live performances, and Adi Amstutz left the band.

The third album "Weather" (2003) was a huge success in Switzerland, with an acoustic approach from Jaël, Luk, and Mats replacing the electronica of the earlier albums. Cédric Saurer (keyboards) and Jacob Suske (bass) joined the band as supporting players on the acoustic tour for "Weather". A live album, "Life is On Our Side", appeared in 2004. Cédric Saurer and Jacob Suske joined the official line-up in 2005, and Mats Marti departed at the same time. In the beginning of 2006, Chrigel Bosshard joined Lunik as the new drummer. Jacob Suske (bass) left the band again in September 2008.
