History


Founded by singer-guitarist Rudi Protrudi in New York City, the band has gone through several member changes but is currently active in Europe. Dismissed by some critics and listeners as a "bar band" or unoriginal, they maintained a strong fan base in New York, in Europe (with their music being played on Hungarian State Radio), and in Los Angeles.

Rudi Protrudi moved to Los Angeles in 1987, after the breakup of the original band, to organize a new Fuzztones, consisting of Jordan Tarlow (lead guitar), John "Speediejohn" Carlucci (bass guitar), Jason Savall (Vox combo organ), and "Mad" Mike Czekaj (drums). This lineup bears the distinction of being the only 1980's garage rock revival band to secure a major label record deal,[citation needed] when they signed to RCA.

The group's name is derived from Fuzz Tone, the commercial name of a guitar effect pedal invented in 1962 and whose distinctive sound was popularized in the 1965 hit song "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones.

The Fuzztones — американская группа психоделического/гаражного рока, сформированная в 1980 году. Она сыграла важную роль в возрождении гаражного рока в 1980-х. Во главе с Rudi Protrudi The Fuzztones стали одной из самых успешных групп возрождения (особенно в Европе), наряду с The Chesterfield Kings, The Cynics, The Miracle Workers[en] и Plasticland[en][1]. Название группы происходит от гитарного эффекта фузз, изобретённого в 1962 году и популяризированного в 1965 году, благодаря хиту «(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction» группы The Rolling Stones.
