Fuzzcat is "GO!"
Playing funk-rock with elements of ska, reggae, and punk, Fuzzcat explodes dance floors with diverse sets that keep the crowd on an upward trajectory. Fuzzcat is singer/guitarist Chris Ryan, bassist Dave Wise, drummer Jeff Carter, lead guitarist Steve Bedall, and keyboardist/percussion Peter Bowles. Playing everywhere and anywhere, the band has become a fixture on the Vancouver music scene.
Fully independent, Fuzzcat regularly books their own shows at The ANZA Club and plays monthly nights in Vancouver -- one of which is the second Monday of every month at the legendary Railway Club, playing stripped-down acoustic sets with diverse groups from many scenes and styles. Fuzzcat tours the Rockies, the Okanagan, Vancouver Island, and is currently looking to broaden their reach to The US, Europe and Japan. The lads just came off a short Western Tour in November culminating in a crowd-pleasing set at the 2009 Grey Cup Street Festival, and the Hamilton Tiger Cats Party.
Fuzzcat’s second album of all original songs recorded at The Hive in Burnaby and Fortissimo Studios in Vancouver will be out in early 2010 so prepare yo'selves. Fuzzcat’s first album, Impact!, was released in 2006 and is now in its second printing. Two songs from the album were featured in the documentary The Five Ring Circus, a Work Less Party production about the 2010 Olympics. Please watch it online. Also, check out their video for 'Emergency' beside this write up on Myspace, or on Youtube. Their songs receive regular airplay on the Bandcouver show on Co-op Radio, 102.7 and on Ska-T’s Scenic Drive on 101.9 CiTR UBC Radio and have charted in Kamloops and several online radio stations. They have performed live on radio, both electric and acoustic, and will continue to creep out among the airwaves.
With original tunes garnering comparisons to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Manu Chao, and Sublime, along with covers by Matisyahu, Bob Marley, and The Dead Kennedys, Fuzzcat brings it for fans of all kinds of music who enjoy dancing and getting wild. You should be one too.
