CHUCKAMUCK
Chuckamuck is a 3-piece garage rock band from Berlin. It was originally founded around 2006/07 when the two classmates Oskar Haßler aka “Oska Wald” and “Jiles” (real name Julius) were already making music together. Half a year later, Lorenz Szukal aka “Lorenz O’Tool”, who attended the same school, joined them. Bassist Jules was part of the band until 2013. The current name was chosen by the band in reference to the dice game Chuck a Luck and the singer Chuck Berry. In 2009, they were discovered and signed by the Berlin label Staatsakt. The band’s debut album was released in 2011. In 2013, Berlin DJ Jan Junker aka “Mohair Sam” replaced bassist Jules. Oska’s rough voice stands out particularly, as it often sounds muffled or almost incomprehensible, blending well with the raw sound of the instruments. While the first album still has a balanced number of German and English songs, the group sings exclusively in German on further releases. The latest album was released on Bretford Records. Chuckamuck is Co-Published with What Is Happening? I Feel It Everywhere!.
