Buck O Nine
Twenty-Eight Teeth (TVT)
by Margo Tiffen
Ever get frustrated with your life? You know, all the hot chicks keep blowing you off and that jerk at the 7-Eleven just cut up your fake ID… Maybe you should start a band. That new Bosstones song is pretty cool and the Suicide Machines sure look like they get lots of chicks. You can’t play guitar all that well, but what the hell. Now if you could just convince some of those marching band guys who play those horn things to join your new ska/punk band, you’d kick ass! Well, don’t bother, because Buck-O-Nine already beat you to it. A completely non-innovative ska/punk band, Buck-O-Nine fits nicely into that category called “filler bands.” You take a really great pioneering band like Operation Ivy, now they had something important to say… in short, it was beautiful. Then you give it enough time for the mainstream to really catch on… say, about eight to ten years or so.
