- BANDS -

PALOOKA 5 (TAUNTON)
60s-tinged sci-fi surf mashup. Think B-52's with a ‘bad vibrations’ modern twist. Expect goofball/bubblegum originals alongside the odd fresh interpretation of The Sonics, The Ventures and The Cramps.
- palooka5.bandcamp.com

THE CRYSTAL TEARDROP (MIDLANDS)
Inspired by a mutual passion for the sights, sounds and creative experimentation of the mid to late 60s, The Crystal Teardrop form a unique blend of garage rock, psychedelia and acid folk.
- thecrystalteardrop.bandcamp.com

MANTIS (CARDIFF)
Psychedelic Outlaw Garage from Wales bringing poetic bilingual (English/Welsh) lyrics, Spaghetti Western and Eastern influences to their psych rock sound.
- mantiscymru.bandcamp.com

THE CLANGERS (BRISTOL)
Goofy, groovy, eclectic psych rock.
Revered by the likes of Syd Barrett, Bob Marley and Brian Eno, The Clangers continue to shake up fickle house of cards built upon sand that is the entire history of music. Free from the bounds of ego and thought, The Clangers truly are us.
- theclangersband.bandcamp.com

BULLYBONES (BRISTOL)
Fast and raw local treasures - these Bristol hotfuzz hurricanes touch on beat, garage, rock’n'roll & 70s punk, yet through adept musicianship and songwriting, land on a sound that’s ultimately fresh and timeless.
- bullybones.bandcamp.com

DEAD HORSE (LONDON)
Down & dirty garage punk 3-piece from LDN. Dead Horse’s raucous overdriven guitars and throat straining vocals pull us along by the scruff of our necks with a flurry of dirty garage rock energy.
- deadhorsemerch.bandcamp.com

BRUNO BOF'S WOBBLE FACTORY (BRISTOL)
Italo-American teen greaser doo wop outsider punk rock n roll shambolism chaos.
If Mark E. Smith, Captain Beefheart, and Kim Fowley were all raised from the grave by a tweaking necromancer and charged to raise a babe from infancy to teenhood, you might get something akin to Bruno Bof.

AFTERPARTY AT THE ELMER'S ARMS (OLD MARKET)
(11pm 'til late)

The Fuzz Fest Afterparty will take place at the home of Bristol’s Godfather of Fuzz: The Elmer's Arms.

For over 30 years, Elmer, Laurie, Craig and the whole FrATHouSE family have endlessly built and nurtured a staggeringly exhilarating Bristol garage rock scene and never looked back.

After moving via various venues, (The Croft, The Mother’s Ruin, The Stag & Hounds, The Cavern and the long gone Casablanca), Elmer finally established The Elmer’s Arms in 2018 as a home for the bands he loves and the loyal community formed around his consistently high quality musical offerings.

His ethos has always been putting on things he loves and supporting people that dig it.

Let’s continue this party into the early hours at the true Church of Bristol Fuzz.
