2 by Bukowski is a post-rock band from Thessaloniki, Greece, but members live in London, UK. They first formed in 1998. As band member George once claimed, "if we saw each other all the time, we might have written 30 albums a year". So with the long distance relationship going, the new album Yzordderrex, the follow-up to 2003's Drink From My Bastard Grail, took a modest 2-years to make. Despite the band's reluctance, 2 by Bukowski were constantly being described as Europe's answer to Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
