Buke and Gass

Buke & Gass is an experimental indie rock duo from Brooklyn, NY, that made its recording debut in 2009. Founded in 2008, the band is comprised of multi-instrumentalists Aron Sanchez and Arone Dyer, the latter formerly a member of the band Proton Proton. The band's name is derived from two experimental instruments created by the bandmembers: the buke, played by Dyer, is something of an electrified six-string ukulele while the gass, played by Sanchez, is something of a cross between a guitar and bass (guitar-bass, g-ass, gass — get it?). Buke & Gass made their recording debut in 2009 with +/-, a self-released seven-track mini-album. The duo also played occasional shows locally in Brooklyn.
