Fuzzbox mentioned on Tech TV!

I'm still trying to figure out all the details here, but apparently, Tech TV has started showing the TV show "Thunderbirds", and as you all know, "International Rescue" is based on the Thunderbirds. In one of the TV-related scrolls under the show, Tech TV must have mentioned the song, and the Fuzzbox name, because I've gotten a few e-mails asking for mp3s of the song. Unfortunately, due to size and traffic limitations, I can't host the song on this site, but if you're looking for it, please e-mail me and I'll hook you up. Also, if anyone can give more details, about what was said, or has screen caps, please let me know. People have also been looking for a song called something like "I wanna marry a tracy", or "I wanna marry a boy from International Rescue", which is not by Fuzzbox- I actually have no clue who did it- any help would be appreciated , so I can let the people writing know.

Fuzzbox
Love Is A Slug - The Complete BBC Sessions
CDMRED 213

A brilliant new collection featuring the original poptastic punkettes that stormed planet pop, We've Got A Fuzzbox & We're Gonna Use It. Here together for the first time are the 18 tracks recorded by the BBC for the legendary John Peel and Janice Long sessions in 198/87. The band were the darlings of the serious music press and enjoyed massive exposure through the mainstream media that resulted in a string of hits in the late 80's.

The CD features all the bands best known tracks from their earlier period including the alternative versions of their hit singles 'Rules & Regulations', 'Love Is A Slug', 'Spirit In The Sky' and 'What's The Point'. Other highlights include their uniquely Fuzzbox version of Queen's classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' that's sure to bring tears to your eyes and the timeless and much covered 'Fever'.

The CD booklet features exclusive photos from the band's personal archives, a complete discography with selected 7" picture covers, suggested band Websites and the limited edition Fuzz comic that accompanied their hit single "Love Is A Slug".

ViX site up and running!

ViX's new web page is up and running, at http://www.vix.uk.com and It's looking pretty good. (webmaster jealousy off) I should be hearing some of the new tracks from the album any day now, and I'll report back when I do. But, go see her site asap!

Maggie and Jo album in progress

I've finally gotten back in Touch with Fuzzbox management again, and Kurt Davies has told me that Maggie and Jo are still in the studio recording an album of completely new material. The album is going to be called "360 degrees" (I know, this is old news to some of you), and some song titles will be:Give It Up, The C Is Green, One Hour, Balloon Girl and Are You Feeling Good? At least some of teh album will have work on it by Fuzz Townsend, from Bentley Rhythm Ace and Pop Will Eat Itself. the album is due to be released on Universal Records sometime in mid-2001. I finally had a chance to talk to Maggie this week, and aside from being a great person with an incredibly bubbly laugh, she told me a few things about the present and future of the band. Word from her is that this will definitely be the last project under the Fuzzbox name, and if anything else is done, it will be a solo project, and will be "Very low key".

ViX solo album out soon!

I just received word from Kinky Samosa Management that ViX's Solo album is in the finishing stages and will be out in the next few months. Also, ViX will be playing at Bray Studios in Berkshire (UK) on Feb 17th. Anyone wanting info can contact Steve Hughes at steve@kinkysamosa.com

Here is a review of that gig:

White Label Launch Party
Bray Studios 17th February 2001
Vix

Jeez! Was this girl born to sing!The audience was held effortlessly in the palm of her hand.Oh yes,me too!

A mate of mine dragged me all the way out to 'sunny Windsor' as he is a huge fan of The JupiterCollision and they were to be one of seven acts performing at this launch party.

Feeling full of flu,I downed a Beechams and agreed begrudingly to go along with him.He promised me it would be worth my while. Hate to admit it but he was right. Some what of a double bonus for my mate as The Jupiter Collision performed twice. Once in their own right and again as part of ViX's band. True, they were well hot!!

Back to ViX,with sincere songs of atmospheric beauty to kicking anthems of attitude and balls! A roller-coaster ride in just 30 minutes. Over far too soo. Please can I have some more??

Highlights were the opening number "The Woman Every Man Wants", a track of truly great magnitude,drenched in plushness and has a sexySci-Fi/Bondesque feel to it. A definite winner and is featured on the film of the same name WOW!! "Dirty Girl" was pure sleazy-funk with ViX whipping the the audience(not literally unfortunately) into an orgasmic frenzy.

I decided to find out more about this myserious woman, finding out to my amazement that this was the lead singer of "We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use it!! What??

So where has she been since then? She must have been dabbling in cryogenics because not only does she sound better than ever but she looks absolutely amazing too!

A few similarities perhaps. Fuzzy guitars,tongue firmly in cheek(yes please). I have to confess I was never the biggest Fuzzbox fan ever, though I can still remember the catchy tunes,crazy hair and ViX's belly button.Mmm!!
Well girl you've come a long way baby and you're sure gonna go a long way still.

Whether you're a fan or not,youwon't be disappointed. I wasn't nor were the other 300 members of the audience. Excellent launch party with electric atmosphere.Forgot all about my flu, gave it to mymate instead. I owe him one! Go ViX!! We're with you all the way girl!
