The Fuzztones are an Americangarage rock revival band formed in 1980.[2]
Founded by singer-guitaristRudi Protrudi inNew York City, the band has gone through several member changes but is currently active in Europe where the n. 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 inLos 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 (Voxcombo organ), and "Mad" Mike Czekaj (drums). This the band has resided since 2005. The Fuzztones bear 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 in 1990.
The group's name is derived fromFuzz Tone, the commercial name of aguitar effect pedal invented in 1962 and whose distinctive sound was popularized in the 1965 hit song "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by theRolling Stones.
