It’s been a few minutes since we last played Oklahoma City. 2,220,480 minutes (and counting), to be exact. So, we’re super psyched to be making a return trek north to get scary with our old friends Fire Bad! and new friends Black Powder Charlie at Point A Gallery. Saturday Oct 21.

The Prof.Fuzz 63
“Cinnamon Sea LP”
A PF63 Release (PF63-05)
2023
“Cinnamon Sea LP,” the sixth full-length album from Howdy Arabia’s First Family of Fuzz™, The Prof.Fuzz 63, was released on 5 October 2023.
The album, recorded and mixed by Clint Niosi at Orange Otter Audio in Fort Worth TX, and mastered by Stephen Finley at Sugar Hill Recording Studio in Houston TX, contains eight new songs that build on the sonic foundation of pounding drums, grinding organ and dirty piano, gritty guitar, phoned-in vocals, and extra scoops of fuzz that you’ve come to love and expect from the PF63.
Side 1 contains remixed and remastered versions of four songs released earlier in 2023 as “Cinnamon Sea EP,” and Side 2 kicks things up another level or two with four new weird tracks.
“Cinnamon Sea LP” is available on 12″ 45 RPM vinyl, CD, and digital download from the PF63 bandcamp store, at PF63 shows, and from a few cool record stores.

Radio Comments:
Side 1 is 100% FCC-friendly.

Cinnamon Sea LP Song Notes:
Side 1
Cinnamon Sea: A song about obsession and loss, and, perhaps, a mermaid.
Jazz Wives: A song about cool women who don’t give a fuck, and their less-than-ideal partners.
Climax Aurora Has a Seaside Disease: A song about a woman with a mysterious condition, and a desire to write a book.
Your Call is Not That Important: A song that says the quiet part out loud.
Side 2
An Amorous History of Paper Airplanes: A song about unrequited love and folded paper flying through the air.
When Lawn Darts Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Lawn Darts: A song about dangerous toys, now illegal and no longer flying through the air.
Pigment of My Imagination: A song about colorful dreams.
Shy Ann From Laramie: A song about a guy who gets killed by a woman he thought loved him. This is what we imagined a spaghetti western murder ballad by Sonic Youth might have sounded like…
Three shows on the calendar for October, and we’re excited about each and every one of them!
20231008: Arlington Nights Chat & Do. Dr Jeckyll’s. Pantego TX.

The new The Prof.Fuzz 63 album, “Cinnamon Sea LP” will be released on December 2, 2023!
The second song on Side 2, “When Lawn Darts Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Lawn Darts” is a little ditty about a toy that was pulled from the market after three children were tragically killed while playing with it. There is no deeper political meaning to the song, trust us on that…
Ever wish you could have some other two-syllable thing pulled from the market?
Pop tarts?
Golf carts?
Karl Ward?
Here’s your chance to express that desire, in song, with the possibility of winning some cool PF63 s

Friday night we’re kicking off a show at Andy’s Bar on the square in Denton TX! We go on at 8:00; we’ll be off the stage by 8:30, so be on time!
Following us are Cosmic Frownies, Captain Howdy & the Sunset Serenaders, and Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.
Next up, we’re sliding into Dallas at the Deep Ellum Art Company, supporting Emily Davis (on tour from El Paso), with Bethnie Rose Band (from Dallas). Doors at 7:00. Music at 7:45. I think we’re playing last, probably around 9:30 or so. Should be wrapped up in time to get folks home a bit after 11:00 on a weeknight. It’s gonna be a good time. Brought to you by Happy Nomad Booking and Deep Ellum Art Company.
It’s been a while since we went live on the evil lord zuck’s platform, so we’re gonna hop on the internet Sunday June 25 at 8 PM Central for an hour or so of live music, complete with audience heckling from the comments. You know the drill. Log in. Rock out.

Saturday night, 10 June 2023, we’re back on our bullshit. This time, our second time around at The Cicada. We love the new vibe of the room, and last time we played there, the sound was the best we’ve ever sounded in that room (and that’s a very high bar given the house engineer of the venue that previously occupied the space!). Tyler and John are awesome too. So, yeah, we’re really looking forward to it on the merits of the venue alone.
But… add to that, we’re beyond psyched to be the stage with our scary monster pals from OKC, Fire Bad! Monster Lock and Loll, or something like that. If you haven’t seen them before, see them now! Closing out the night will be Space Poets, with ambient psych sounds to send you into Sunday…
We’re playing first, at 9:00, followed by Fire Bad!, and then Space Poets. Come early. Stay late. Have fun.
So, yeah. We finally got around to doing the full digital distro of our “Peaches & Herbicide” album and “Cinnamon Sea EP.” If you like to stream your music from Apple Music/iTunes, you can just hit the links below.
Friday June 2nd. Acadia Bar & Grill. Houston. We’re playing late, following Omero + More!, Strange Waves, and Garden Pary! Doors at 8. Music at 8:30. $12 for 21+. $17 for under 21.

We’re playing our 300th show on Saturday at Cave’s Lounge in Arlington, with Big Heaven, who are celebrating the release of a new EP. We kick things off at 9 PM.
Next up is a return to the Hippie Hole House in Denton TX for a good old fashioned house show!
Saturday May 6th.
We’ll be joined by +More, Shadylyn, Dayblazer, and Garden Party.
Doors at 6. Music at 6:30. $5.
Message us for the address!
