2020 by Tukker
Tukker was a popular unsigned rock group in the central PA area who started in 1993. They played in Altoona, PA and surrounding areas.Their most frequented venue was the former YWCA basement in Altoona.The band was known for their live performances, which were hard hitting and energetic.
Most of the band members lived together in a house in Hollidaysburg, PA. Living together allowed the band to approach the songwriting process uniquely, and constantly experiment with the material they created.
The band released an LP, titled Lackluster Hero, in 1996. They recorded all the songs at Data Music Services located in Altoona, PA in one day, live, with very few overdubs. The band approached the performances on the album as if they were playing in front of a live audience. Tracks from the album reached local radio stations, with Luck of the Devil receiving the most airplay.
Drummer Dave Best left the band some time after, and was replaced with Andy Kelly, and later with Shawn Hocherl. In the spring of 1998, Tukker disbanded suddenly because of creative differences.
Many years passed, and rumors often resurfaced about the band reuniting for a reunion show. After a few false starts, the band decided that 2020 was the year to make a comeback. They began writing new music and planned a reunion show. But the global pandemic caused plans for a reunion show to be put on hold.
Presently, the band is spread out across the U.S. Dave Warren (Guitar,) Buck Dickson (Guitar,) and Steve Seymore (Bass) all presently reside in Central PA. Dave Best (Drums) lives in Atlanta, GA, and Travis Saunders (Vocals) lives in southern WV. This presented some obstacles for the band while writing a new album. The band got together in Central PA to record parts of the new album and finished the album in their home studios afterwards.
Special thanks:
Rik Golden, Cyndi Mathers, Karen Seymore, Heather Stone, former bandmates, family, friends, anyone that is listening...
...And all the fans who inspired us to get back together and make this album.
