The Flunkeys were a German Punk rock band that was active from 2006 till 2007. It consisted of two members, Kay (vocals, guitar) and Vee (drums). The band's name was supposed to be a skit upon their former boarding school fellows as well as the American government.

The band was dissolved after a street tour through Europe in June 2007. Vee has been seen in Berlin and Lübeck, Germany, while Kay is said to be in London, United Kingdom. Rumors about a reunion have been spread but have not been confirmed.

Trivia

*The Flunkeys producer Florian Seeber is a well-known German sound engineer.

*Vee speaks Russian fluently.

*When The Flunkeys recorded "No Riot", they decided that Vee should sing "Lynn (These Nights Are Blue)", because Vee thought it would resemble a White Stripes technique, "letting the one who can't sing sing a super-short song".

*Vee played the guitar on "Never Enough" because Kay didn't know the chords.

*The artwork for both the single and the album was done by Kay.
