Bob Uck and the Family Truck
Bob Uck and the Family Truck (alternatively Bobby Uck and the Family Truck and Chuck B Buck and the Family Truck) is a pseudonym used by Charles Bobuck (aka Hardy Fox), first appearing in 2017 on a number of fictional 1960s-era gig posters on a website promoting the Bobuck album Nineteen-Sixty-Seven.
The pseudonym appeared again in 2020 (following Fox's death from brain cancer in October 2018), when it was the artist name featured on the posthumous Klanggalerie compilation Oddities 2013-2015, containing a number of previously unreleased tracks recorded between 2013 and 2015.
History
In 2017, Hardy Fox published a website promoting the release of (what would become) the final Charles Bobuck album Nineteen-Sixty-Seven, which contained hypothetical posters for live concerts from an imagined timeline where Bobuck had been an active live musician in the 1960s. In the posters Bobuck appears under a number of pseudonyms, including "Bobby Uck and the Family Truck" and "Chuck B Buck and the Family Truck".
In 2020 (following Fox's October 2018 death from glioblastoma), Klanggalerie released the posthumous compilation album Oddities 2013-2015, featuring a collection of previously unreleased tracks by Bobuck/Fox recorded between from 2013 and 2015. The album was released under the name Bob Uck and The Family Truck - to date it is the only release under this name.
