Lisa Marr and Lisa G. formed Buck in 1997 with Dr. Rob Kozak on guitar. The band re-located from Vancouver to Los Angeles, where a guy named Stew briefly took over from Kozak on guitar until permanent guitarist Pepper Berry settled into the lineup. Lisa G. eventually returned to Canada, and several different drummers filled in at various times (Sherri Solinger, Brandon Jay, Slim Evans and Corky Pigeon). Buck released two full-length albums (Buck, SFTRI , 1998; Buck In Black, Lance Rock, 1999) before splitting up in 2000. Marr currently plays in alt-country act The Lisa Marr Experiment and super-pop band The Beards, and directed the documentary film "Learning How To Fail" in 2003.
