Greek Buck were a Canadian musical duo, consisting of Don Pyle (formerly of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet and Phono-Comb) and Andrew Zealley. They are best known for "Spunk", the theme song to the American television series Queer as Folk. ^{[1] [2]}

History

Originally billed as Barely Pink, Pyle and Zealley changed their name to Greek Buck in 1998.

In 2000 Greek Buck released a five-song EP, Bucquiem. Kevan Byrne and Kevin Lynn of King Cobb Steelie, as well as singer Caroline Azar, joined Pyle and Zealley. ^[3] Their song "Spunk" was used as the theme song for the first three seasons of Queer as Folk, and was included on original TV soundtrack album for the show. ^{[4] [5]}

Pyle and Zealley also composed the scores to several films by John Greyson (including Proteus, The Law of Enclosures ^{[6] [7]} and the short films This is Nothing and Herr), Sarah Polley ( I Shout Love) and Wrik Mead (Fruit Machine, Hoolboom, Camp). CD releases of the soundtracks were billed as "Don Pyle + Andrew Zealley" to set them apart from the other Greek Buck releases.

In 2002 the duo released an EP, No Time. ^{[6] [8]}

Greek Buck also recorded with Ian Blurton, ^[1] Joel Gibb, Sandro Perri, and actress Sarah Polley.

Zealley has also worked as a film and television composer separately from Pyle, was a member of the synth-pop band TBA with Glenn Schellenberg, Paul Hackney and Steven Bock in the 1980s, ^[9] and has been a remixer for electronic music artists under the name PSBEUYS.
