Songs in the Key of Bree, the debut album from San Diego ska punks Buck-O-Nine, first came out in 1994 on Immune Records before Taang! Records reissued it in 1996. These are the songs the band had been sharpening for two years on stages across Southern California, Nevada and Arizona while the local crowds grew and grew.
After a gig opening for Skankin' Pickle, their sax player at the time, Mike "Bruce Lee" Park, pushed them to hit the road, and when booking agents said they'd need a CD first, they went straight into the studio. Immune offered a two-year licensing deal mid-session, and a week after release they were out on the national "Skamaggedon" tour, opening for ska veterans Gangster Fun and MU330. The record is brassy, beery and bouncing, and "Irish Drinking Song" is so rowdy it keeps getting mistaken for a Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly tune. Barfly came next.
