Bad news travels fast! Catch the U.S. premiere of the Fuzztones doc at the Bowery Electric

Attention, fans of the Fuzztones. The new documentary (trailer here) about the band makes its U.S. premiere at the Bowery Electric on Feb. 2. 

Details via the EVG inbox: 
"The Fuzztones vs. The World," directed by Danny Garcia, chronicles the highs and lows of an extraordinary band, The Fuzztones, whose career spans over 40 years of Garage Rock. Formed in New York City in the early 80s, their redefining brand of psychedelic punk spawned an exciting new scene and its unstoppable and charismatic leader, Rudi Protrudi still carries on his unique vision passionately across the world today. 

Rudi is a survivor of the Rock & Roll lifestyle. He is still performing, having been at it since the 1960s. The fact that The Fuzztones are still active today shows that he continues to be unstoppable, a true "Lifer" of Rock & Roll. The documentary shows their history through interviews with current and former bandmates. It includes lots of archival footage and new Fuzztones performances from their 2024 European tour. 
Tickets for the screening and premiere party are available at this link. The Bowery Electric is located at 327 Bowery, between Second Street and Third Street.

    Miss Deb O'Nair, the fabulous queen of the original Fuzztones, will be there to meet and greet. Can't wait to see her and the documentary film screening. She is a long-time E.V. resident and community activist/volunteer and gardener in Tompkins Square Park. She and Rudy are the original founders of the Fuzztones, and its precursor, the band Tina Peel. This is an important musical and cultural marker in the record of the downtown scene in its heyday. Should be quite a cool night at Bowery Electric.

    I love the song "she's wicked". I grew up listening to these guys.
