The Fuzztones - Lysergic Emanationa Tour


Slide your skull into the fuzz cyclone—The Fuzztones are roaring into Valencia like a caravan of zombie bikers, 40 years deep into a career built on bad acid, Farfisa organ growls, and the eternal reverb of the garage underground. This isn’t some nostalgia act polishing its own tombstone. This is a live-wire séance for the freakbeat faithful, a swampy invocation of every dive bar, lava lamp, and smoke-choked basement the band has ever haunted.


Front-ghoul Rudi Protrudi still stalks the stage with that lupine grin, a shaman of fuzz-drenched chaos. The guitars snarl like rabid alley cats, the organ hums like a dying UFO, and every riff drips with that sleazy midnight energy that made them legends of the paisley underworld. Expect sweat, distortion, and the kind of primal howl that makes polite society clutch its pearls and bolt for the exits.


On October 17, 16 Toneladas becomes a sonic swamp—where the faithful, the curious, and the chemically enhanced will dance shoulder-to-shoulder as The Fuzztones celebrate four decades of lysergic emanations. Bring earplugs if you must, but better to bring an open vein for the fuzz. This is not a concert. This is a pagan fuzz ritual, and the only way out is through the noise.

THE FUZZTONES


In 1985 The Fuzztones released "Lysergic Emanations", not only their best known album but one of the albums that topped the revival of the garage sound of the mid-80s and why not say, one of the best garage punk albums, garage rock and roll, garage fuzz or whatever you want to call it, ever published.


Just forty years have passed since that and what better way to celebrate it than going out to celebrate it on the road, where the band has lived since its formation in New York in 1980. Yes, another round date that also deserves to be celebrated, forty-five years have passed since Rudi Protrudi shaped them.


"Lysergic Emanations - 40 Year Anniversary Tour" will be a celebration of that album, so the band has prepared a special set list in which they will review all the songs of the album along with others that appeared in singles, maxis, compilations and other artefacts from that primitive era.


The Smoggers


And to complete an unforgettable night we have added The Smoggers to the party, without a doubt one of the bands that have best known how to assimilate the sound and legacy of the Fuzztones and one of the leading bands of the current European garage.
