Standard Time and Not Dead Yet welcomes Fcukers (live) with Kiki LeFreak and Prince Josh!“fuck no, homie don’t shake”—from the opening lines of their new single, “Homie Don’t Shake”, there’s no mistaking the irreverent musings of Fcukers’ Shanny Wise. Delivered over a groove-heavy bassline punctuated by distorted guitar riffs courtesy of producer, bassist and keys player Jackson Walker Lewis, and backed by bouncy, peak-time percussion from drummer Ben Scharf—it’s a perfect encapsulation of the sound the much-hyped trio have been cultivating for the past year and half.
Instantly recognisable to anyone who has attended a Fcukers live show show in recent times the single comes with the announcement of their forthcoming debut EP set for release on Ninja Tune’s Technicolour imprint — and follows a whirlwind 18 months for the band in which they have carved out a fierce and growing reputation as one of the most exciting acts operating out of NYC today.
Lauded for their headline live shows—usually announced last-minute, often spread via word of mouth alone, always sold-out and frequently situated in off-the-radar venues like their sold-out party in the unfinished swimming pool at SAA Brooklyn—Fcukers have quickly accumulated a growing number of notable fans including Beck, Julian Casablancas, Yves Tumor, Clairo, Dom Dolla and Matt Wilkinson; who described them as “possibly the most in-demand band in New York at the moment”.
