“The Pukes came together during the spring of 2015 in a fit of spontaneity. Guitar player, Jules Frank, crawled from the swamps of Florida where he was raised by alligators and relied heavily on the native gar fish and snails for sustenance. First meeting the often elusive Sam Sharkey at the West Allis Karaoke State Championship, the two struck up an immediate musical kinship. Then, one night, Sam and Jules went to see the highly anticipated California Raisins reunion tour. As the show was going on, neither of the two couldn’t keep their eyes off the drummer (and it wasn’t because he was the only member of the band that wasn’t a raisin). After the show, they made it backstage, approached him, and asked him if this gig was as sweet as it tastes. He said he was ready for a new gig before things got way out of control. And that, boys and girls, is how The Pukes came together.”
