[edit] History
The Tucker B’s were formed at the end of 1994 by Matt Rudas and Andrew Houston. 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.
Their latest album Chubby released in 2005 has 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) took up the role of drummer for the band.
[edit] Touring
The Tucker B's have played many shows in Perth supporting artists including Bluetile Lounge, Molasses, O!, Squadcar 9x, Adam Said Galore, Jon Spencer and his Blues Explosion, Trans Am, and in the Eastern States supporting Peabody, Art of Fighting, Dappled Cities Fly, and the Mountain Goats and Wolfmother amongst others.
The Tucker B’s have also played at the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, complete with an extensive tour of the United States.
In 2007 The Tucker B's performed at the Sydney leg of the Big Day Out and at Homebake.
