Buck Brothers

Buck Brothers formed early in 2005 via a chance meeting at the unlikely location of a Buddhist Disco in a North London.

The trio gained international media attention for successfully breaking a world record for the "highest number of gigs performed in a 12 hour period" on 5 March 2007 to mark the release of the band's debut album Me in the UK and North America on Cargo Records and Scratch Records respectively. The band performed 28 gigs in 10.5 hours, beating the previous world record, held by Hamburg band Kansas, by two shows. (Buck Brothers' successful Guinness Book of World Records claim number is 185503).

On July 7 2007, Buck Brothers supported Primal Scream at Столпотворени Music Festival in Moscow.

Buck Brothers' debut album Me entered the CMJ Top 200 Music Chart in the USA in October 2007 with "Girls, Skirts, Boots, Bikes" also making an impact on commercial radio placing at number seven in national commercial specialty radio chart two months later.[1]

The band toured North America in March 2008 including three performances at SXSW (South By South West) in Austin, Texas. Rodney Bingenheimer, legendary DJ from KROQ and big supporter of the band, introduced the trio at the first date on this tour in Los Angeles. This is the first time he had introduced a band in over three years.

In May 2008, the band made their USA live television debut on Fearless Music, a New York City based television show airing on the Fox 5 network in New York and syndicated on other networks throughout the states. In August 2008, the band supported US pop punkers Goldfinger on their UK tour.

The band have performed at NXNE Festival in Toronto, Canada twice (2006 and 2007), In the City Festival in Manchester, UK twice (2006 and 2007) and made their debut at SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas in March 2008.
