Once upon a time in the west...
# 2001 - JELLYFUZZ rose from the smouldering ashes of several local bands from Brest (Brittany, France).
The initial idea of the band members was to play in a personal and original way a set of astounding songs from the Nuggets
records. They picked and re-arranged 60’s punk classics by the Remains, the Sonics and other mythical combos from that era.
After 2 busy years playing local clubs, the band chose to write and play its own songs, still obsessed by the wish to celebrate simple yet explosive Rock’n’Roll.
# 2004 -
In September 2004, the band released "Talk Talk Talk!", its first CD/EP. This home-made 6-track record has since become a collector!
__
"Talk Talk Talk!" was reviewed in several fanzines, webzines and magazines including "Dig it!", "Rock&Folk" or "The Fake",
a
couple of months after it was released. See the "Press Room" to read some reviews.
"Talk Talk Talk!" is now a collector EP.
# 2005 - In the following Spring, the 5-man band went back in studio to record their first album "Cadillac Motel" which was
released in
September 2005. "Cadillac Motel" was once again unanimously greeted by the press (Rock&Folk, Dig It!, The Fake,
POPNews, CROSSROADS,
and many more webzines and local newspapers...). See the "Press Room" to read some reviews.
__ 
"Cadillac Motel" was recorded at the legendary B14 studio by sound engineer "Monsieur
Dupraz" and it is distributed in the
whole country by the Breton record company CoopBreizh/Avelouest.
The 14 original tracks composing this LP define the band’s sound: it definitely has to do with 60’s garage-punk but could well be
used as the soundtrack of a “Spaghetti Western” or a freaky B-movie shot in the middle of a slimy swamp. This record is suffused
with primitive energy. This music is straightforward, powerful and highly explosive!
Most of the time, the lyrics of JELLYFUZZ deal with love: the love you can guess in the threatening eye of a zombie about to tear
your guts out, or the love you feel in the arms of your girlfriend from outer-space.
# 2006/2007 - JELLYFUZZ opened for prestigious bands and played famous venues (Sky Saxon & The SEEDS, WRAYGUNN,
Hushpuppies, Bus Palladium in Paris...) while working on a second album.
In April 2007, on the occasion of a concert at the Bus Palladium (Paris), JELLYFUZZ recorded a LIVE EP on neon blue vinyl.
A collector's item at once, only 500 copies of « Friday 13th At Bus Palladium » were made .

# 2008 - In March 2008, Jellyfuzz reopens the diner and invites the King himself to share its newest sonic
ratatouille:
« A Barbecue With Elvis » ! 13 juicy and high in cholesterol new tunes, cooked rare and topped with
a caster oil and
whiskey sauce.
__ 
13 ancient recipes that were passed on to Jellyfuzz by a Voodoo high priest
and that the band plays with an insane, vicious grin
on their faces.
Beware! Elvis ain't dead, nor has he turned a vegetarian: Jellyfuzz asked him round to this kingly BBQ
and he showed up!
« A Barbecue With Elvis » comes in two different formats: limited edition vinyl (500 numbered pieces) and CD,
and two different
cover arts!
