Buck Brothers

The three Bucksters met accidentally in January 2005 at the unlikely setting of a suburban Buddhist Disco in North London. Being the only three men in attendance with hair on top of their heads, Andy, Dom and Craig found themselves backed into a corner after the disco turned into a sedate chant-fest. The three lads quickly discovered that they had more than just follicular abundance in common and joined forces at an East London rehearsal studio a week later. Despite none of the band being called Buck or any of them being Brothers, the band claim to have named themselves after an adult film company that Dom once worked for. Within two months of forming, the boys recorded 'The World According to Buck' EP (October 2005) which was playlisted on over 400+ college radio stations throughout the United States and Canada with heavy rotation and chart placements aplenty. After tours in Europe and North America, the band recorded their debut album "Me". To commemorate the release date of the first single from the album "Girls, Skirts, Boots, Bikes" in the UK, Buck Brothers successfully achieved a world record entry for 'highest number of gigs performed in 12 hours' in their native London with 28 shows undertaken on 5th March 2007. Off the back of this achievement, the band were invited to support Primal Scream in Moscow at the Krasnaya Presnya Park Festival in July 2007. The band returned home to the news that MTV were going to license their debut album for their show 'My Super Sweet 16'. In October 2007, Buck Brothers' debut album entered the CMJ Top 200 national chart in the USA; rare for an indie release, let alone a first release. The band also reached number 7 in the national US commercial radio specialty chart in March 2008. At the beginning of March 2008, Buck Brothers undertook a month long tour of the US which took the group from LA to NYC via SXSW in Texas where the band had the honour of playing the infamous Viper Room Swinghouse Studios Party. In August 2008, Buck Brothers were asked by US pop punk giants Goldfinger to support them on their national UK tour. They have also supported The Futureheads and Babyshambles to name but a few. Later in 2008, Buck Brothers became the first band since The Police (in 1978) to perform at the House of Lords in London. Uber DJ legend Rodney Bingenheimer (from KROQ in LA) spun "Girls, Skirts, Boots, Bikes" on his show for 7 months in a row. The track became the most requested song on the 'Rodney on the Roq' show in 2008. In July 2009, Buck Brothers were featured in Big Cheese Magazine's prestigious "Blast" section. Their second album "We Are Merely Filters" is due for release in September 2009. Instrumentation Andy Duke - Lead Vocals & Bass Dom Beckford - Guitar & Vocals Craig Welsh - Drums & Vocals
