SWN FESTIVAL

admin — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:29:36 +0000

We were recently invited by Huw Stephen’s of Radio 1 to get involved with his SWN Festival and co-host a night with Cardiff’s own D&B big bwoys Aperture. With a tasty lineup it was hard to say no.

Metabeats (Exclusive DJ Set)
Y Diwygiad
Beatbox Fozzy & Ruffstylz
Chipmunk
Dan Marshall
Ransom & Magenta
High Contrast

We know we sound like a broken record on this one but once again Ruff and Fozzy proved they really have a world class stage show and tore the stage down hard. On the night Chipmunk got replaced by Baby J and friends and they proved to be good for it. Shouts to anyone who reached down for the night or any of the Swn events. Here’s to 2009.

RUFFSTYLZ & FOZZY SUPPORTING ‘THE PETH’

mayor — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 02:29:50 +0000

We had a call from Kris Jenkins a week or so back asking if Fozzy and Ruff would come through and support his new band ‘The Peth’. Featuring Kris, a Super Furry Animal and hollywood big boy, Rhys Ifans, and a whole bunch of others it was kinda hard to say no. They are on some Welsh super group business. The gig was pretty bonkers and we smashed it. So here’s to more partying with ‘em in the future.

BEATBOX FOZZY & DIZZEE RASCAL – LIVERPOOL & LONDON

mayor — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 02:15:38 +0000

After smashing the hell out of the Vauxhall tribes competition and claiming rites as the UK champion for 2007 our boy Fozzy headed out to perform with Dizzee Rascal as part of his UK tour at his show in Liverpool.

After smashing that he was invited to join him again at his homecoming final show back at the London Astoria. That turned out to be a hell of show with the finale being that after Fozzy helped end Dizzee’s show with a 10 min routine that built up into Fix Up Look Sharp – they presented Dizzee with his gold plaque for Maths & English. It was a sick night. Much love to everyone involved.

BEYOND THE BORDER FESTIVAL & D’N'B

admin — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:37:31 +0000

We hit the Beyond the Border festival last week for some international style vocal stylings. Ending up with Ruff and Fozzy taking to the stage with Taqralik Patridge, one of the few Inuit throat singers who gets out to an international stage. A spoken word artists as well, she’d just arrived direct from Canada and was off to Norway for more goodness the next night.

Then Saturday night rolled in and we hit Cambridge for a D&B rave alongside Mampi Swift, Mickey Finn, Skibadee & Zinc, The night was heavy and Fozz and Ruff brought more fire to the stage before the Scratch Perverts brought it down with a heavy headline set.

SECRET ART ATTACKS

admin — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 11:39:39 +0000

If you’ve never seen street art battles you need to reach this. 6 skilled folk. One white wall. A bunch of black markers. Some music. Some drink. Our own Mayor hosting. Guaranteed result is a heavy night out.

IRELAND Pt.2: THE REVISIT

admin — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 11:40:34 +0000

After the major success of the January Tour you know we had to go back to the see the good people of the Emerald Isle and the luckily our favourite promoters wanted it to happen too. So we went back with Ruff and Fozzy as the headliners to try kill it again. Ralph & Mud did a little ten minute P.A. to set the shows off in the proper style and fashion and then Ruff and Fozzy straight muredered in a way like no others can match.

Their show is ridiculous and we say that with no bias. It’s next level original. And if you ain’t caught it you need to. Just can’t wait to go back now and hit up Dublin and see more of the beautiful country. Shouts to all the people who reached out and showed us love. And to all the Cork schoolgirls!?!

Ruff and Fozzy did an instore in Plug’d Records in Cork City. The theme was red.

^^^John Gough aka Gougho the Cranker aka Dope-As-Shit-Brekkie-Chef on the wheels of steel.

^^^ Ladies and gentlemen… introducing… New Ralph Ralph Shit.

^^^Mudmowth bowling around on stage.

^^^ Ralph rocking it.

^^^Mud taking well deserved ‘boy in the stush corner’ chill time after the gig.

Promoter Doobs showing us the colour of his Irish money. That was soon to become ours. But due to Ralph doing some seriously dodgy parking of the A.M. tour van in the centre of Cork it had been towed earlier the same day and so that money was soon to become Cork City Councils to bunk it back out the pound! Heck money comes and money goes. You got to keep your grizzly going.

^^^Crockett & Tubbs

LINKS UP NORTH

admin — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 11:48:29 +0000

After heading up to for a gig @ the Galeri,? Caernarfon and? Fozzy taking out the speakers with his bass, we went and headed back to Mr. Phormula’s yard. This shot is from the next morning outside Phorm’s studio. This shit is literally in the middle of the sticks. Our North Walean brethren showed us a sick night on the vodka, ghost stories and a dope late night jam. Can’t wait to go back. Much love to Dull, and Nine Tonne as well. We need to link soon for sure.
