ONE MILLION FUZZTONE GUITARS 1&2
Originally a duo, the Fuzztones formed in August 1981 with Beausoleil joining in early 1982 to augment the Stylophone / Drum Machine based group. Released the single "Heaven" in January 1982 to a mixed reaction from press and public. Gigs during 1982 usually frantic, involving plenty of clothes, fighting, smoke bombs etc.

(1&2) Crewe ( Andrew Dickinson ) -- Bass & Vocals.

NB: Beausoleil joined the Fuzztones after seeing a very early gig in the summer of 1981 and being very impressed with their Velvet Underground Medley.

One Million Fuzztone Guitars occasionally rematerialise in the studio (now playing) as my alter-ego Robert "Sonic Destruction" Williamson, so put on your mirror shades, crucifixes, roll-neck jumpers and cuban-heeled winkle-pickers, as there is always the chance we may be backtorockyourworld one day soon.
Happy 2008
