History
The Tucker B’s were formed at the end of 1994 by Matt Rudas and Andrew Houston, performing their first gig together at the Harbourside in Fremantle. In 1995, with the addition of Sean Pezzali, they released a tape called Pipo Karna Eh. Arm A Drunk was released in 1997; shortly afterwards, drummer Sean Pezzali left to work in Australia's north.
In 2003, with the addition of Darren Nuttall and Tim Day, the Tucker B's released Bish Bosh II: The Bosh Bosh through Quietly Suburban Records. The band toured the album extensively throughout Australia. This schedule took its toll, with Tim Day leaving the band, to be replaced by Matthew Maguire from Adam Said Galore.
In 2005 the band moved to Sydney and released their fourth studio album, Chubby, which spawned a hit single with "The Turning" on high rotation on Triple J and "Bullets" not far behind. In 2007, Matt Blackman (Purplene, Charge Group, Palace of Fire) took up the role of drummer for the band (the eighth drummer the band has had).
In 2009 they released their latest album, Nightmares in the Key of (((((Wow))))), which was produced by Burke Reid (The Mess Hall, The Drones) and features contributions from Chris Ross (Wolfmother, Palace of Fire).
