History
In December 2011, singer Francis Tobolsky posted an advertisement in a student magazine with the headline 'Blues Brothers Wanted', with the intention of forming a band. Guitarist Tim George and drummer Pätz joined Tobolsky for rehearsals throughout 2012 and the band's first line-up was complete when Patrik Dröge joined on bass in November the same year. Throughout 2013, Wucan started songwriting, recording and playing their first gigs as a band. They had also released demos and singles on YouTube. In July 2014, Pätz left the band shortly after the recording of the debut EP Vikarma. His replacement was a new drummer Ollie, who remained with the band for six months before leaving and was replaced by a further drummer Marc. In February 2015, the band started preparing for their first studio album. A month later they were the main support act for Siena Root during their tour through mainland Europe. Marc only lasted two months in the band before being replaced with Leo Vaessen who was brought in for recording the debut album Sow the Wind. Their second studio album, Reap the Storm, was released on September 29 2017.
