Fuck is an American indie rock band, formed in Oakland, California in 1993. It consists of Timothy Prudhomme, Geoff Soule, Kyle Statham and Theodore Ellison. They have recorded for a number of labels including Matador Records and Homesleep Records of Italy.
Fuck was formed in Oakland, California in 1993. The members met while stuck in a police holding cell over the weekend, and wrote a few songs while in jail.[1] They released a self-titled cassette called Fuck, and a single, MonkeyBeautyShotgun on their own imprint, Rhesus Records, in 1994. (The songs from the cassette would eventually find their way onto later releases.[2]) They released their second full-length album, Pretty...Slow, in 1996. It was subsequently released on three different labels. Their third album, Baby Loves a Funny Bunny, was also released in 1996.
They then signed to Matador Records, who released the albums Pardon My French in 1997 and Conduct in 1998. According to Timothy Prudhomme, a Matador marketing director told them that they needed to change the band's name, but they refused.[3]
After Conduct, the band left Matador and drifted between labels. In 2001, they released two albums on two different labels: Cupid's Cactus, on Steve Shelley's independent label Smells Like Records; and Gold Bricks, on Homesleep Records in 2001. Those Are Not My Bongos was released in 2003 on both Homesleep and Future Farmer Records; the latter rereleased it the U.S. in 2004.[4]
In 2018, Fuck released The Band, their first LP in 14 years.[7]
To date, Fuck has performed over 400 live shows and recorded on nine labels. Prudhomme currently lives in Memphis and the rest of the band lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
