Bucks Single Release Party Saturday at Great Scott

Words by Jen Brown

The local band The Big Big Bucks are releasing their first single off their highly anticipated album, Crucial Schmooze (Static Eye Records), this Saturday at Great Scott.

The Bucks are known for their almost weekly performances around Boston venues, disregarding the usual one-show-every-three-weeks rule and embracing the opportunity to play for fans as much as possible. The band's known for their loud sound, jagged guitar riffs, rough vocals, and hard-hitting drums. 

"Be a Baby" is the band's first 7" single, scheduled for retail release on January 12 on Static Eye Records. The single is a follow-up to the band's 2006 Rabbit Rabbit EP, an album the band recorded with Jack Younger (The Dead Trees, Eli "Paperboy" Reed).

Crucial Schmooze will come out in 2010, but the single is worth checking out ahead of time. The Bucks will surely preview additional tracks from the upcoming album on Saturday as well. Other bands on the lineup include labelmates The Konks, Babydriver, and Bar Sinister.
