I saw Fuzzbox on MTV's "120 Minutes" growing up. I had this album on cassette and took it everywhere with me. I was 11 years old! Love Fuzzbox... so glad this is here.
used to see them in and around moseley bham and kingsheath ,and in folks homes that had muso jam sessions later on ocean colour scene and dodgy allso members of ub40 used to come and go,great times going to hear the local bands play in the hare n hounds in kings heath some very very good bands that never made it ,memory serves right this video was filmed in the rum runner in parts,were duran duran was the house band a few years before
right! that was their original name, wasn't it? (remember reading about them in NME, here in the States -- but do not recall ever hearing them back then!)
It was a long, long time ago, it felt like yesterday and the attitude towards life is still in me today - I love this style, also optically - from the bottom of my heart only the best for you ..
@@mikekaraoke Well, really, this is mid eighties. 86/87. When I first heard it. I bought the cassette. It’s about 40 years old almost. I was in high school. A long time ago.
@@mikekaraoke US. I never hear it anywhere. Except it came up on youtube a month ago or so, and it took me right back. So many songs from that era get played on the 80’s channels and many more don’t. There were many hits in my world that were not in the larger world. I think it’s pretty common. I completely forgot about this until it showed up in my feed randomly.
Watching this on Night Tracks in Redmond Washington...this was moment I first heard punk rock...it showed all the punk rock going crazy back then in DC and I just think...wow these girls kick ass.. loved their style. First punk rock band I liked
@@vronart & Swamp Monkey Jo Dunne is playing the drums in this video, Tina is playing the bass. In reality Tina was the drummer, Jo the guitarist/bassist. Tina is the young lady with the never ending handbag
Number 31 in the UK chart in mid-to-lateish November 1986. One recent morning I got up to find a large slug on the kitchen floor. Nearly squished it by accident with bare feet. I got a piece of junk mail from the recyc to put underneath it. It looked at me imploringly with its stalk-mounted eyes as I carried it to the front door and lobbed it ouside.
I saw you girls play at Chelmsford Chancellor hall in May 1986.I shouted out ‘Do you want any groupies?’ I’m glad you all laughed and smiled.I saw the Ramones and the Jesus and Mary Chain the same week,my ears!.
@@merlin5476 Both were fantastic.JAMC were completely in black and not one word was spoken to the audience by Jim or William. Fuzzbox were great colourful fun ,I had to shout out ‘Do you want any groupies?’ which made the girls smile and laugh.Probably get arrested now for some bs offence or other now.
Me favourite Fuzzbox song. I prefer this early stuff (not keen on Pink Sunshine or International Rescue) and think they looked better, before they went commercialised and became more conventional - although I can certainly understand why they did that - they obviously wanted big chart success (which they would never have got originally as they were too alternative for mainstream success) and it certainly worked.
I remember hearing them back in the late 80s but it's a bummer to see that this band is still active. Fuzz Box has good music but I always say that it takes away spark when a band doesn't know when to stay broken up. There's only a limited window a certain type of band should be active, and know when to put the band to sleep and keep it that way. This is why I respect The Sundays, The Smiths, and other bands that knew when to keep their band's great legacy intact by not coming back in their 50s, 60s for a money grab, and dragging their band's sound and image through the mud.
Ah, crimped hair and ra-ra skirts. Used to see them around the alternative clubs (Power House, Zig-Zag) in Birmingham back in the day. Happy nights of snakebite and snogging!
I had a crush on Mags as a teenager. I had no idea Jo died until reading your comment. We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It (in my opinion) paved the way for the likes of Spice Girls and I don't remember reading or hearing about her passing. RIP Jo
I always had a thing for girls with shorter hair, so I was into Jo and Tina when the girls had their Top of the Pops days. Poor Jo, it was about 2012 I think. She was diagnosed with cancer and gone within a few weeks. Poor darling didn't even have time to fight it properly. Only just turned 40 iirc. 😢😢
@@miserablemozz8714 Oh yeah I liked Tina, I preferred Fuzzbox in their Love Is The Slug days. I still watch their live gig on Whistle Test every so often. Jo was only a year or so older than me. I'm glad she had fun being in a band with her mates thumbng her nose at the world. Devastating she never stood a chance in her final weeks
@Last & First Agreed, my first exposure to the band was through Annie Nightingale and John Peel playing Rocking With Rita which got me hunting down all the acts on Vindaloo, but it was the girls who stood out (obviously, give that I was 15!) Happy days.
@@miserablemozz8714 The Vindaloo Summer Special was Heavenly ! (Which is odd because 'Heavenly' weren't on the Vindaloo Summer Special, possibly because they were still 'Talulah Gosh' then)
Maggie said in a recent interview with Jan Doyle that the Fuzz Pedal they were named after was a Big Muff. Given the timeline of the band, I would hazard a guess it was an early 80's op-amp Big Muff. Hope that helps.
If you like this song, you'll most likely like the first album. Fun, strange, quirky and truly ladies learning their instruments. However, I've heard worse debuts.
Love how Tina spends the whole video sorting through her bag. My first girlfriend had a Tardis bag as well. Great. Still love Fuzzbox.💖👍
Fab. Maggie has kindly sent us an audio message to play on Retro Charts Radio, which is the only radio station to play all Fuzzbox hits regularly!
I saw Fuzzbox on MTV's "120 Minutes" growing up. I had this album on cassette and took it everywhere with me. I was 11 years old! Love Fuzzbox... so glad this is here.
I saw the same show. 1986 I think.
Не хрена не понял, но 🤗👍👍👍🇷🇺👋👋👋👋👋
I was in 4th grade when I heard this...I was just finding strange music and punk and I was in love with these girls...a couplemod them anyhow...
What is really lovely is they are still down to earth, and "Normal" despite kissing the sky.
I thought this was a 2021 retro 80s band. Never heard of Fuzzbox and I lived the 80s. Very cool indeed.
100% agree!
Actually they were named “We’ve Got a Fuzzbox and We’re Gonna Use It”.
@@DominiqueVanheusden And they were very indie.
Saw them at The Roxy on their first US tour. Thanks Rodney Bingenheimer!!
So you’ve never heard Pink Sunshine? I wasn’t even alive in the 80s and I’ve known that song for years
Back here 30 years later. Bought this tape in the bargain bin. Best purchase ever, wore out my alpine deck and Polk speakers in my car.
The dance routine is tooo cute!

I can't f'n believe this is on here!! I still have my vinyl and I always wanted more from these girls. Yay
Vix and Maggie still play x
Robyn P I still have a vinyl copy of this single too.. and I have the little photo story comic book that came with it.. :)
Lyca31 Oh that's really cool!! I wish I could upload a pic of my vinyl. Its the Bostin Steve Austin full length album :)
Tremendous! You can’t watch this without a massive smile … ! Style, music and attitude.
We've got Fuzzbox and we're gonna use it.
right! that was their original name, wasn't it? (remember reading about them in NME, here in the States -- but do not recall ever hearing them back then!)
I have this on vinyl. I still listen to it all the time. I love Mags.😍
sell me it
Id only read about them in Star/Smash Hits but they are the perfect look and sound of post-punk. Punk sound, goth styles with bright colors.
Не понял, что написала ю, но прикольно Панки ХОЙ!!!!!
Peter Crouch trying his moves with Maggie at 2:35
I can't believe this is on here. I haven't heard this song since the mid eighties in high school. LOVE this song!!!!
I hadn't heard since the 80s either. It's fun finding all these old things again!
It was a long, long time ago, it felt like yesterday and the attitude towards life is still in me today - I love this style, also optically - from the bottom of my heart only the best for you ..
Their style is incredible. Love it!
Wow! I haven’t heard this in at least 25 years, and I still love it. God it takes me back. I’m gonna use it.
Nearly 25 years, really????????????
I only heard it on radio last a week ago lol
Very confused!

Saw them live in the 80s🥰 so great
Oh My Goodness
hahahaha the part where she spins the drumsticks is so good
Не хрена не понял!!!!! 🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼👆
I love the campiness of her drum playing. None of them were good musicians but they made fun of that instead of trying to hide it.
Watching this on Night Tracks in Redmond Washington...this was moment I first heard punk rock...it showed all the punk rock going crazy back then in DC and I just think...wow these girls kick ass.. loved their style. First punk rock band I liked
I love the scenes with Tina taking all sorts of unlikely things out of her handbag - especially the cup of tea..
That is/was Jo Dunne(Mags little sis). Tina is the drummer
@@flatoutandscreaming Somebody above said Jo played the guitar but the woman taking things out of her bag is the bass player.

Ahead of her time with the phone.
*People Creating, their Own Music !!!*
_as it should be !_
I remember hearing these girls on Rodney On The ROQ back in the mid 80's!
The original girl power! We miss you Jo
This was their first top 40 hit single in the UK in 86-Well done girls-Shame the album: Bostin' Steve Austin wasn't a hit in the UK

that looks like Burberries in Birmingham - they were often there for the Click Club indie nights in the late 80s!
This song really got me hooked on Fuzzbox, and never stopped since!
I love this band! I wish I can see them live, post-quarantine!
Lockdown 4ever wow
great tune and brilliant video have fun Covid sucks
☠️💣☠️
@@dalakerdaniel9240 Covid doesn't suck, our governments suck. Great band :)

Still love this 30+ years later was better than most of the crap in the charts in the mid 80s at that time !
still think its one of the best videos of all time.

@@Essexgeezer and i didnt know they played in Chelmsford at that time, i did however see the Damned at the Army & navy
@@merlin5476 JAMC was at Hammersmith with Sonic Youth.Fuzzbox was at Chancellor with ‘Beat of the Beast’.
Take me back to these days ❤
I want this fashion back
😲😲😲 How can i resist?!?! This Is criminally joyfull
Please bring it back from '84!!!🤣
I remember seeing this video for the first time on Request Video on KDOC Channel 56 in Orange County back in the early 90's.
Freakin Awesome Decade!!!

Love fuzzbox especially Maggie and Vix

Да ладно я 1986!!!как у вас?!? Im from russian!!! 🇷🇺👈😎👆👆Super Music...... 🤗
Catchy and refreshing.
My favourite band! Love these girls!🙌
I love the bit with the girl taking everything out of her handbag to (not) find just one thing. We've been there, seen that, haven't we lads?
I miss this era.
I saw them at the Roxy in L.A. I still have the shirt.
2:49 Love my Ladies from Birmingham
My fave test track as a theatre sound tech for setting input gain, equalization, and output level on the mixing desk. Everyone else hated it.
best band in the world
I love all their songs :)

I love this song and video. They look like they belong to the animated show Jem
Beautiful love it

Love the drummers interpretation of Bingo of The Banana Splits
I always thought that :-) I LOVED Jo !!!
Haha,yes.
Dear soft play you would make a gr8 cover of this go on just do it guys.

Everything is on UA-cam.. even an obscure alternative band whom I bought thier cassette at an actual music store in the mid 80s
This is fucking awesome.
Jeeeeesus !
Ah, Magz... loved her with red hair.
Goddamn I miss the 80's
You're lucky, it's the 70's I miss.
The British Go-Go's.

I wonder what they did with the change from the five dollar budget for this video?
They handed back the $ and used real money then went to the chippy
2:50 is 🤣

AWESOME ! !
.....Totally awesome ....still xx

Some things in the video would back that up.
They had mobile phones before everyone else!
