Buck-O-Nine came up in San Diego in 1991, part of the third-wave ska punk surge, a band built to make a sweaty club bounce off its foundations. Songs in the Key of Bree kicked things off in 1994 with "Few Too Many", and Barfly followed in 1995 with "Water in My Head" and "Pass the Dutchie". Then came Twenty-Eight Teeth in 1997 and the breakout "My Town", a skanking, sing-along stomp with a hook that spread well past the local scene and turned into the biggest single they ever had.
Libido arrived in 1999, with "Tell It Like It Was" and "Who Are They", but by then the ska tide was going back out, and in 2000 the band stopped touring full-time. They never really stopped playing, though. Buck-O-Nine still turn up regularly around California and much of the Southwest, and since 2001 they've played Japan, the UK, Canada, Mexico and Hawaii. A sixth studio album, FunDayMental, came out on Cleopatra Records on April 19, 2019.
