Fuck is an American indie rock band, formed in Oakland, California in 1993. The band consists of Timothy Prudhomme, Geoff Soule, Kyle Statham, and Theodore Ellison. They have recorded for a number of labels including Matador Records and Homesleep Records of Italy. ==History== Fuck was formed in Oakland, California in 1993. The members met while stuck in a police holding cell over the weekend, and wrote a few songs while in jail.〔(Fuck interview from Cool Beans, issue 6 )〕 They released a self-titled cassette called ''Fuck'', and a single, ''MonkeyBeautyShotgun'' on their own imprint, Rhesus Records, in 1994. (The songs from the cassette would eventually find their way onto later releases.〔(Fuck discography from their official website )〕) They released their second full-length album ''Pretty...Slow'' in 1996. The album was ultimately released on three different labels. Their third album, ''Baby Loves a Funny Bunny'', was also released in 1996. The band then signed to Matador Records, who released the albums ''Pardon My French'' in 1997 and ''Conduct'' in 1998. According to Timothy Prudhomme, the band were told by a Matador marketing director that they needed to change the name of the band. They refused to give in. After ''Conduct'', the band left Matador and drifted between labels. In 2001, they released two albums on two different labels: ''Cupid's Cactus'' was released on Steve Shelley's independent label, Smells Like Records, and ''Gold Bricks'' was released on Homesleep Records in 2001. ''Those Are Not My Bongos'' was released in 2003 on both Homesleep and Future Farmer Records; the latter rereleased ''Gold Bricks'' in the U.S. in 2004.〔(Pitchfork review of ''Those Are Not My Bongos )〕 To date, Fuck has performed over 400 live shows and recorded on nine different labels. Prudhomme currently lives in Memphis and the rest of the band lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band website reports that new material was recorded in January 2007 but it remains unreleased. In November 2008, the band participated with other similarly named bands, including Holy Fuck, Fucked Up and Fuck Buttons in the ''Festival of the Fuck Bands'' music festival in the village of Fucking, Austria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fuck (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
