New Recordings And New Gigs...

Hello All!

Welcome back to the craziest, zaniest ball busting combo on the Planet. Yes, I am talking about the one and only Fuji Heavy. We have been on holidays and recording over the summer, but now that it is more or less over (Aug 1st in the UK), we can get back on our high hogs and start rocking clubs, pubs and your back garden....

I just wanted to point out that we are on Jeremy's excellent, Subba-cultcha and we are on their August Podcast - Get the vote out and vote for your heinesses, Fuji Heavy.

Also, we discovered a nice little review, where Bob was compared to ......(wait for it....) - Sting!!!?? Read the review here

We have one show of note at the moment and that is on Sept 14 at our favorite haunt, The Pavillion Tavern in Brighton. Cheap booze, Loud rock music and loads of lusty busty females for all you pervs out there (which I consider myself in this crowd, don't tell anyone....).

For all you lusty busty females that are looking to come to the venue, well, there aren't any men there worth looking at except for the Lords of Gravitas, Fuji Heavy.

So get your tonsils down to see us and wash back a few pints and be prepared for the dawning of the Age of a new Reckoning of Something!!!! I MEAN IT!!!

Love from The Fuj xx

Fuji Go Postal

Like all the greatest debut EPs, the Revenge of Fuji Heavy is not only critically acclaimed, it's now free of charge!!! 

We had been worried that our CD would sell out before everyone had a fair chance to buy it.  Luckily, that didn't happen and we're happy to confirm that the whole stock are up for grabs - for free! 

To get your clammy mitts on The Revenge EP, simply email your postal address to us @ fujiheavy@fujiheavy.net and we'll put a copy in the post. 

Remember, charity begins at home. Which, handily enough, is also where I keep all our CDs. They're in a big cardboard box which I keep tripping over and I am moving, so they gotta go!!!

To build on the momentum created by The Revenge EP, Fuji Heavy will shortly be heading back into the studio.  We’ve got at least five or six pocket-rockets of rock which are begging to be recorded. These tunes will make up our next EP which will hopefully be out in the late summer.

Finally, we should have some gigs coming up in a bit so watch this space.

Kindest regards,

The Fuj

"Fuji Heavy are something a little bit special, and whilst the other bands fight to all sound alike, it's a breath of the fresh stuff that Bob, Andy, Ali, Bryn and Alex have the sense, the brains and the talent to do what they truly believe in, which is off course great garage-rhythm-rock.

The Fuj are back in action!!!!

Hello Ladies and Gents - Some glorious tidbits from the vault called Fuji Heavy....

First off, A couple of quick thank you's to the many of you who voted for us on Juice FM's Demo Clash. We were winners for 2 weeks and finally lost last night, but dem's da breaks.

Secondly, we have a gig coming up on Thursday at the Cable Club. We open the show and Bowie influenced - Kit Ashton is headlining. It will be a good gig as Bob is ditching the keys to concentrate fully on his stage flopping. Fuji Heavy is opening and will be on at 8:30 PM - so get on DOWNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Finally, we have a couple of more reviews in for The Revenge of Fuji Heavy (release date March 15th)....

"Great Fucking Single. Taut, wired, zombie droning, with streaming riffs of noise hung on pop hooks and infectious choruses that hammer each track to a close." - The Source, Brighton

" Rock n Roll swagger, attitude and songs - Fuji Heavy are a band who've got it all, prepare to be worshipping at the feet of this band in the very near future. " - UK Music Search

That is all for now - See you at the gig...

Love from - The Fuj

The Self-Annointed and Self-Appointed band of the Apocalypse

New Reviews and Juice FM...!

Some new reviews for our upcoming EP on sale March 15th!

"It is brimming with enthusiasm. This CD feels instantly familiar, like meeting up with an old friend, there is something strangely comforting about it." - Comfort Comes

"Their debut EP is an other-worldly blast of garage, deranged vocals, angry guitars and psychedelic synth sounds. I've yet to catch them live, but if this offering is anything to go by I suggest you do before they spontaneously combust. " - Glasswerk

Also, we have been featured on JuiceFM, Brighton in their Demo Clash - Please take the time to vote for us by emailing this link - and putting FUJI HEAVY!! in the subject.

So the ball starts rolling......

Til next time!
