Fcukers–the NYC electronic trio of vocalist Shanny Wise (also of The Shacks) and former Spud Cannon members Jackson Walker Lewis (bass, keys, production) and Ben Scharf (drums)–have been on the rise since dropping their 2023 debut single “Mother” b/w “Devil’s Cut,” the latter track a rework of Beck’s “Devil’s Haircut” that Beck himself co-signed and came to see the trio play at Brooklyn’s Market Hotel in September of 2023. (Julian Casablancas, Yves Tumor and Clairo were all reportedly in attendance at that show too.) With barely any material out, their NYC shows already always sell out with large crowds ready to party. I caught them twice at SXSW this year, the second time at a packed and dark 1am Perfectly Imperfect x Baby’s All Right party inside the Creek & The Cave (fka Barracuda and Red 7) where I truly felt transported back to a ’90s NYC nightclub, a major highlight of the week.
At the end of last year, Fcukers released an official remix of Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, and Jacknife Lee track “Los Angeles” with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem on it, and now they’ve signed to Ninja Tune’s Technicolour imprint and released their third proper single, “Bon Bon.” The trio have been putting a fresh spin on ’90s dance music that they say is influenced by the likes of Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Todd Edwards, and others from that era, and “Bon Bon” is another infectious track in that vein. Check out all the music they’ve released so far below.
Fcukers have some shows and festival appearances coming up, including a Secret Manhattan Location show on May 9 and an appearance at hometown festival Governors Ball. They play the Sunday (6/9), alongside the amazing lineup of SZA, Peso Pluma, Faye Webster, Victoria Monét, Chappell Roan, Kevin Abstract, Beach Fossils, Hotline TNT, and more. All dates are listed below.
