Buck Brothers: new London band aims for Guinness Book Of Records
domgourlay by Dom Gourlay February 23rd, 2007

London-based three-piece Buck Brothers are aiming to play their way into the Guinness Book Of Records next month.

On Monday 5th March, the band will attempt to play 30 shows across London in a 12-hour period starting at 11am and finishing at 11pm that night.

They are also going to be recruiting "Travelling Bucksters", who will follow the group around during this potentially historical musical tour of London.

It's also perhaps worth mentioning that on the same day the trio release their debut album, _Me_.

The current record for most gigs in one day is 26 and that was achieved by a German band called **Kansas City**, in Hamburg on 4th December 2004.

The full list of venues (and nearest Tube stations) for this all-day marathon is listed below in numerical order of where the band will be appearing:

  1. Metro Club (Tube: Tottenham Court Road)

  2. 100 Club (Tube: Tottenham Court Road)
