The Fucking Champs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fucking Champs are a three-piece total music band from San Francisco, California. They are known for their indie appeal, while playing metal music, based largely around shifting time signatures, guitar harmonies, and lots of rhythm. Most songs are instrumentals. They are currently signed to Drag City Records. They have also played with Trans Am and the two have recorded albums together as TransChamps and The Fucking Am.
Founding Champs guitarist Josh Smith was also a member of the cult San Francisco black/death metal band Weakling, as well as Drunk Horse. He is currently a member of The Makes Nice. Tim Green was a member of Nation of Ulysses, Lice, The Vile Cherubs, and The Young Ginns. Drummer Tim Soete was the singer/guitarist of San Diego mod revivalists The Event. Born in the Decade of Decadence, underground fanzines claim their influences range from Django Reinhardt to Mark Knopfler to George Lynch of Dokken.
