FCUKERS

FCUKERS are a New York City-based band consisting of vocalist Shanny Wise, bassist/keyboardist Jackson Walker Lewis, and drummer Ben Scarf. After throwing a bangin’ free release show for “Mothers” and “Devils Cut” at Baby’s All Right last year, Fcukers quickly became one of the buzziest groups in NYC and a favorite of Perfectly Imperfect (they headlined our recent SXSW show + we presented their second show). Their take on 90s dance music and very fun live show is exactly what the city’s music scene was missing. Yesterday, after a full year, they dropped their long awaited follow-up single, “Bon Bon,” and you can listen to it here. Lucky for us, the band is here to tell us what they’ve been into.

Borderline the only clothing store I shop at. Frank always has the goods, and the community he has built around the shop itself is just as special. In my eyes it’s the closest modern day equivalent to Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's infamous shop ‘SEX’ in 70’s London—except ya know, less punky and more baggy.

Though Massive Attack and Portishead often steal the trip-hop limelight (and perhaps rightfully so), Sneaker Pimp's 6 Underground is the real unsung masterpiece of the genre in my opinion. It’s crafty sampling of John Barry’s Goldfinger Bond score, Kelli Ali’s arresting vocal, and Nellee Hooper’s bombastic beat create an effect that I can only describe as novacane. I thank my father for turning me on to trip-hop so early, as it soundtracked much of my youth through middle and high school.

Bed stuy bar which hosts vinyl DJs most nights- pin ball machines are in the back. The worn in wooden benches and drink deals makes it feel homier than a most full blown “club” environments, but the dance floor opens up spontaneously whenever necessary.

Weird and wonderful electronica. Caught them spinning at public records the other week- elite.
