Thanks to everyone who tuned in to our livestream and heckled from comments last night. That was fun! Reminded us of the 25 livestreams we did during the height of the plague years. But really happy that we are able to get out of the house and play in front of people again. And speaking of which…
Next up, we return to The 101 in beautiful downtown Bryan TX to make noise with Mourning After and The Toasted Milk Bois! Music starts around 9 with the TMBs. We’re playing in the middle, and Mourning After closes out. Bring your dog. Bring your friend. Let’s have some fun!

Great fun guesting on Kick Push Radio on KNON NOW last night. You can catch the audio in the archive for a couple of weeks before it disappears. Some music. Some talk about band history, skateboards, microphones, tours, and stuff. And I even play three solo acoustic tunes. First time ever! Yeehaw. Thanks for having me, Eric!

We’ve got a couple of weeks off before our tour starts. Knocking the rust off of a few songs for the set lists, printing some shirts, and checking off some last-minute to-do items off the list.
In addition to the shows on this run, we’ve got a couple of special activities scheduled. First, we’re doing a direct-to-vinyl session with Leesta Vall Sounds in Brooklyn on 5/21. There are still a few slots left of the preorder list, so if you’re interested, act NOW. Details and preorder here: https://leestavall.com/products/proffuzz63 Second, we’re doing a live-to-air session on The Evan “Funk” Davies Show on WFMU on Weds 5/22 sometime between noon and 3 PM Eastern. Tune in and see what happens.
Take a look at the poster, below, and tell your friends if we’re coming to a town near you!
Also, we’ve got two holes on the route that we could use some help filling. Saturday 5/18 anywhere in eastern Tennessee (Knoxville, Chatanooga, Johnson City, etc) and Friday 5/24 anywhere between DC and Richmond.
Hope to see you on the road!
BIG weekend ahead!

Our set will pay homage to the man behind The Other Ass web comic and our video collaborator, the mad genius Ryan J. Gill. That is, we’ll be playing all four songs that he’s made videos for.

Saturday, Part II: Right after we rock Denton, we’re loading up the fuZZZmobile and heading to The Cicada in Fort Worth for a late night rock and roll thing with Goiter Belt and Fire Bad! We love playing The Cicada, and this show is gonna be loud and lit. Be there!

Oh. Hey! We’re gonna be in Brooklyn on May 21 recording some 7” vinyl singles with Leesta Vall as part of their Direct-to-Vinyl Live Sessions project.
Here’s the scoop: YOU chose a song* from a list of PF63 favorites (and two unreleased tunes!). We play the song live in the studio as the record is lathe-cut in real time. Each performance is unique (and may include shout-outs, dedications, fuckups, etc). The end result is seven one-of-a-kind inches of fuzzy pleasure for your earholes!
*Each record can hold 5 minutes of music, so if you pick two short songs, you can even get a 2-for-1 thing!

not infrequently, i run into someone who tells me something to the effect of “there hasn’t been been any good music since [insert random date that somehow manages to correlate to that person’s teenage/college years],” or “there’s no good [rock/guitar/punk/etc] music being made these days.” we know that is not true. the problem is not with the music being made, but with either 1) being open to new music, or 2) finding that new music. the algorithms work hard to keep you in your comfort zone by feeding you the same stuff over and over and over.
so next time someone (maybe even YOU) lament the lack of “good new music,” take a dive into the following collection of 2023 Year-End Best-Of/Favorites from some of the DJs at WFMU, which scientifically disproves the naysayer claims.
so damn much great music came out last year. give it a listen and discover your new favorite bands, then support them by buying their music and/or merch on bandcamp (or your favorite local/indie record store), seeing their shows, and telling your friends.
and please consider supporting WFMU for turning you on to great new music as well.

Saturday January 13 we’re back at Double Wide with our pals Crooked Bones, and Thyroids!
https://www.facebook.com/events/1419259852351236
typically, when we release a new record we make a solemn promise to our listeners:
“this record is guaranteed not to be on anyone’s YEAR-END BEST-OF LIST.”
and for five albums over nearly a decade, that’s been true. but friends, we’re afraid that this year we have failed to keep our promise.
our 2023 “cinnamon sea LP” (our sixth full-length release) has, in fact, landed on a bunch of people’s YEAR-END BEST-OF / FAVORITES LIST.
trust me, no one was more shocked than us! oh well… thanks for the love. we appreciate it.
perhaps the biggest figurative kick in the head about the reception this record has garnered is the fact that all eight tracks have been played over the FCC-regulated airwaves (as well as on various internet radio shows), individually (not in some “whole album at once” format). so, a deep thanks to the DJs who have given “cinnamon sea LP” a spin or three!
and thanks to clint niosi and stephen finley for the top-job engineering/mixing and mastering the album.
we’ll be on the road some in 2024, and back in the studio making more fuzzy noise for your ears.
thanks for listening. stay tuned for more.
