"The Fucking Buckaroos prove to be one of the most original bands to come out of San Fran in quite some time. When Cops Rode Bulls combines folk rock with an obvious punk rock element. Thrown onto this disc are seven tracks that run relatively short in length, but it's the band's excellent instrumental quality and choice lyrics that more than make up for the record's brevity. Stand-out tracks include "Rosie" and "Crownless King" but the other tracks found here are just as interesting and memorable. The Fucking Buckaroos show a lot of promise."

"The Fucking Buckaroos are from SF. I love them. They sound like...well, if Tom Waits was kidnapped by the Butthole Surfers and forced to play on Unplugged" - The Pine Box Boys on TrashFish.com
"Yes, they play a banjo and a mandolin, but this isn't a novelty band. The Buckaroos played some blistering, loud and fast punk in the Pogues style, but you don't have to be a Pogues fan (I'm not) to enjoy their sound. You don't even have to like the banjo or the mandolin, because the instruments all blend together to create a really powerful impact. I could tell these guys take their music seriously, because they sounded tight and disciplined. Overall these guys were in a total musical frenzy, and then when they *really* amp up the power, they're astonishing. Great stuff. Gotta see them again."

With St. Paddy's Day hitting this year on a Saturday, you know darn well there'll be plenty of places at which you can get your drink on. Well, here's one that should skyrocket to the top of your list. Setting up at Johnny V's tonight is the crashing, speed-folk bluegrass twang of The Fucking Buckaroos from S.F, who kick it raw, honest and amped beyond belief, like they just swallowed an oversized jug of whiskey laced with meth. Their frenetic style of punk banjo picking is only tethered by the Buckaroos' extremely high quality musicianship and committment to rock.

"The Fucking Buckaroos (stationed in San Francisco, CA), were birthed in the fall of 2004 when four 'musicians' with a common distaste for effects-ridden music began working hard to cause a ruckus that could snarl and claw its way through the hackneyed drone of modern sound, and relieve the world of this terrible burden. The difference between the Fucking Buckaroos and other modern day folk-esque groups (like the punk rock Flogging Molly or most of the alt country scene) is that when the other bands turn to blasting distortion behind a fiddle or slowly picking a banjo over electronic samples to achieve power, the Buckaroos do it the old-fashioned way: by gargling Garth Brooks' semen, and waiting until they really need to pee before they play. You will find none of that processed bullshit here; they play raw, loud, and honest. Mostly."

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
