the prof.fuzz 63

lo-fi rock* from a north dallas garage [*think "white light/white heat"]

On this date, PF63 played a fucking trainwreck of a show at The Underpass in Deep Ellum.

It was so bad, The Professor and The Redhead considered pulling the plug on the band. Instead, they fired the drummer. Mr B came out of percussive retirement a few days later, and some 280 shows later, we’re still going strong.

Four new songs in the works (Side 2 of Cinnamon Sea LP). Recording session booked for mid-May. Hopefully we’ll be mixed, mastered, and in the queue for vinyl pressing by mid-summer, with an album release late this year.

This weekend we head south for our final in-person shows of 2022!*


Friday night, we rock the fishtank at Thirsty’s in Beaumont. Three sets of fuzz, beginning around 9 PM. FREE.

Saturday night, it’s a three-band bill at Bohemeo’s in Houston. We’ll be the peanut butter in the middle of a B.C. Binge and Nerve Curlers sammich! Early show. Music at 7 PM. $5.

*We’ll be streaming our annual Virtual New Year’s Eve Party on FB on 12/31. Stay tuned for details!

Friday night (Dec 9) we’ll be kicking things off at Cheapsteaks in Deep Ellum, joined by our old friends Crooked Bones, and new friends Darstar. Show starts at 8 and will be over around 11. Come early. Stick around. Then go do more cool shit. It’s a Friday night, dammit!

Next up is the annual shared birthday bash celebrating the continued circling of the sun by two of our favorite folks: Wade (Division Brewing/Growl Record) and Mr. B (PF63).
Come get loud with us, Holy Roller Baby, and Haltom City’s Finest: The Me-Thinks.
There will be beer, records, and, hopefully, leftover capes.

Music starts at 8 (PF63), followed by Holy Roller Baby, and then The Me-Thinks.

Since mid-June, to be precise. But we’re busting out the amps and drums for a little throw-down at The Grackle Art Gallery in Fort Worth tomorrow night, joined by partners in suspicious noisy activity Jean Caffeine Duo (Austin, etc.) and Linda XYZ Duo (San Francisco).

Music starts at 7 and ends promptly at 10 (gotta be kind to the neighbors).
So come early, get fuzzed up, and then go somewhere else for unending fun…

PF63 spent the day at Orange Otter Audio in Fort Worth yesterday with Clint Niosi at the controls recording tracks for a forthcoming EP.
The EP will feature four new songs: “Cinnamon Sea,” “Jazz Wives,” “Climax Aurora Has a Seaside Disease,” and “Your Call is Not That Important,” and will be released in early 2023.

In the meantime, here are some pics from the sessions, and the cover art (by Sleepy Redhead). Dig it if you can!

So, yeah, we’ve kept a bit of a low profile the last half of the summer, but we’ve got a new ride, some new drums, a new Bachelor’s Degree (congrats to Mr. B!), and some new tunes ready for the new school year.
Two shows on the books for Sept:

Friday Sept 16 in Bryan at The 100 with Skunk Money, and Sheverb! https://www.facebook.com/events/569801704653873

Saturday Sept 17 in Austin at The Knomad with Rahums, and The Nematoads! https://www.facebook.com/events/623011169408683

Come say Hi. Pick up our new “Peaches & Herbicide” CD (vinyl is ordered and we’re patiently waiting…)

This Saturday (16 July 2022), we’re gonna be blazin’ through a short set of hot songs at the Heatwave Music Festival in Durant OK. Music starts at 5:15; we play at 6:15; music continues all night!
