FCUKERS

When Fcukers booked their debut concert at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn in March 2023, they had understandably low expectations for the evening. The electronic act had uploaded their first two songs literally hours before they took the stage, and they’d already logged many frustrating years in separate indie-rock bands that imploded before most people knew they existed.

But producer Jackson Walker Lewis, who also worked as a party promoter, got the word out — and the show turned into a sold-out, buzzy event. “It became this loud and rowdy dance party,” says lead singer Shanny Wise. “My friend got onstage and got naked. It was so different to any show I’d ever played before.”

Within months, Fcukers found themselves playing gigs in London and Paris, inking a deal with Charli XCX’s booking agent, and racking up millions of Spotify plays for songs like “Bon Bon” and “Homie Don’t Shake” that fuse house music with dub reggae and pop in bold and adventurous ways.
