Fvzz Popvli Announce October Tour Dates
In late 2019, with fervent momentum on their side following two initial full-lengths and a swath of live activity, Roman heavy rockers Fvzz Popvli announced they were leaving Heavy Psych Sounds and signing to Retro Vox Records for their next, third album. At the time, guitarist/vocalist Francesco “Pootchie” Pucci had this to say:
“After 2 albums, 10 European tours, 50.000km and more than 200 shows in 11 EU countries… We must say STOP! Now it’s time to rest and have a bit of time for ourselves… But the best thing is that a new adventure is coming, we gonna enter in the studio for our 3rd album in the end of January! We are very excited to announce our new label for this release: RETROVOX RECORDS an Italian based Rock’n’roll label, Bye Heavy Psych Sounds, thanks for all you did! More news soon! “
Well, it’s entirely possible that that album was done by the end of January 2020, but as I recall, Italy was a roiling shitshow of covid spread and lockdown mandates. They had a live album out last year, and started playing again as much as possible in June 2021, but as to the record, could be done, could not be started yet. I’d be interested to find out which, if either, the case may be.
But if they’re getting back to it for real, Fvzz Popvli‘s upcoming run will take up much of the band’s October and is probably a good way to do it. If they have other things to sort out in the wake of two of the shittiest years in the century-plus since the first audio was ever recorded for playback, well, they’re hardly alone in that.
From the ol’ PR wire:

Thanks for showcasing this tour! I hadn’t heard of the band before but when I read here that they would play in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, I decided to go. Horst Klub is a nice DIY venue, I saw band such as Sacri Monti and Kikagaku Moyo (before they became big) there. Fvzz Popvli put on a very solid, fun show – a nice way to end the week.
So glad you got to see it and enjoyed it. Thank you for the comment!
