THE FUZZTONES⚡45 Anniversary ⚡
THE GURUS OF GARAGE GRUNGE will be back at the 100 CLUB London to celebrate their 45 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
2025 marks the 45 year anniversary of cult faves, The Fuzztones. Their fiery brand of Garage-Psych Punk pre-dated the entire "Garage Revival" of the 1980s and has influenced hundreds of groups, from The Hives to The Horrors. Born in the summer of 1980 in the bowels of NYC's Lower East Side, The Fuzztones were soon regulars at legendary NYC hotspots such as CBGB, and the Mudd Club. By utilizing the fuzzbox (an antiquated effects pedal used by many 60's groups to achieve overly distorted "psychedelic" guitar sounds), the band created a raunchy sound they referred to as "Grunge"...(On their 1984 debut single, "Bad News Travels Fast", lead guitarist Elan Portnoy is credited as playing "lead grunge", at least a decade before the Seattle Grunge Invasion), and the band was nicknamed "The Gurus of Garage Grunge."
More than any other band, it’s The Fuzztones who are responsible for initiating the Garage Movement that began in the 80’s and continues to this day.
