Bukowski is a French musical power rock band formed in Paris in 2007. It worked as a trio, before expanding into a four-member band. Bukowski has released four studio albums: Amazing Grace in 2009, The Midnight Son's, the charting Hazardous Creatures in 2013 and On The Rocks in 2015.
Career
The trio band was made up of Mathieu Dottel, Niko Nottey and Julien Dottel. It came about after the split up of Wünjo where both Dottel and Nottey were members. They joined forces with Mathieu's brother Julien Dottel who used to play in band Kwamis.
With the release of the third album, a new member was added, Thibault Morin, replacing the band's original drummer Niko Nottey, who quit for personal reasons. Fred Duquesne, a guitarist in bands Empyr and Watcha also joined as a second guitarist. The band's name is a tribute to American writer Charles Bukowski.
Their debut album Amazing Grace released in 2009, was picked as one of the best albums by Rock Hard. The follow-up The Midnight Sons in 2011, was picked as "best Rock Album" by OÜI FM. The band also took part in a number of festivals in 2012.
