BUCK 65
& OLYMPIC LIFTS

SATURDAY MAY 8
THE FRONT PAGE 9.00PM

Buck 65 (Richard Tefry) was born and raised near Halifax Nova Scotia and developed two main passions in life: baseball and hip-hop. When his dreams of being a big time ball player in the major league were never fully realised. His attention became fully focussed on music.

Buck 65 is about as different to the stereotype of a modern rapper as you can be. Sonically Buck 65 has developed his own unique take on hip-hop; sincere and honest lyrics tell stories of real life experiences and are delivered in a style more Bob Dylan than Bad Boy Entertainment.

His diverse influences are testament to his style and include Grandmaster Flash, Tom Waits, Simon and Garfunkle, Johnny Cash, DJ Supreme and Fats Waller.

There are several stories regarding Buck 65 - his work for Sesame Street, Biz Markee steeling his John Travolta break, hanging out with Radiohead. Buck 65 has a world-wide fanbase that includes Aphex Twin and Vincent Gallo.
