We’ve Got A Fuzzbox & We’re Gonna Use It
Image by Diego’s sideburns
We’ve Got a Fuzzbox and We’re Gonna Use was an all-female indie pop quartet. Crossing noisy, enthusiastically amateurish punk à la The Slits with the bright pop harmonies of new wavers like the Bangles and the Go-Go’s, Fuzzbox was one of the bands included on NME’s now-legendary C-86 cassette sampler in 1986, and became pop stars in the U.K. for a short time in the late ’80s. The group featured guitarist/vocalist Maggie Dunne, her sister Jo Dunne on bass, vocalist Vickie Perks, and drummer Tina O’Neill, who got together in their hometown of Birmingham, England, in 1985.
The quartet’s name was truncated to just Fuzzbox for the retitled American release of Bostin’ Steve Austin.
At the height of their fame in 1990, Vicky, Maggie, Jo and Tina quit, fed up that record label bosses were trying to dictate their every move.
But now, after a 20-year silence, they’re back and just as bostin! Now fortysomething and with day jobs at a car company, the NHS and as a teacher of music to inner city kids, they burst on stage at the Artsfest, in Birmingham, and thrilled a home crowd. Vicky is now Vix, original drummer Tina O’Neill, now a busy mum, has been replaced by Karen Milne and a fifth member Sarah Firebrand (also of Tigertailz) has been added.

Every day there is this flock of birds in the bushes in front of my store. I always park my car backed up to the same bushes. Each day I walk out to my car to go home and there they are just playing. Now keep in mind we are in the middle of winter in Western NY and this particular day was just after a good ice storm. Thus the ice on the branches of the bush. So as I walk to my car I am watching the bird, the birds are watching me, and just as I get to the car they all take off. Not far mind you. Some up in a tree, some in an adjacent bush, and a few I could see just hiding on the other side of the bush. I got into my car, looked in the rear view mirror and there they were again. Right back to the same bush. I grabbed my camera and slowly opened my door. Just as I creped out of the car. Swoosh! They take off again. Oh well, back into the car. Rear view mirror. Birds are back. Lets try this again. Swoosh! Off they go again. So I wait. In the freezing cold I wait. And they wait. 10 minutes. I am in a stand off with a flock of birds for 10 minutes. Finally about 50 feet away in another bush I see this one solitary bird hop up to the top of the branches. Well one bird after all this time is better than no birds. So at 50 feet away with only the cameras built in zoom I take three consecutive shots. Time to go home. It wasn’t until I began to crop and clean up the pictures that I noticed that this one bird that had went to the top was the bravest of all the birds that were hiding on the other side of the bush. And he didn’t seem to happy with me. Look closely at the compilation and you might see what I see. I hope you enjoy it. Eddie

The experience I had with taking this picture reminds me what is wrong with this city. About 30 seconds later, my fiancee and I heard the sound of a minor accident about 100 feet away. With grocery bags in hand, we stumbled across the scene, where a young woman leapt out of her car, ripped open the door of the old man who had bumped her car and threatened to beat him up. Then she did. She must have landed about four or five punches to the back of his head before he got his car door closed and drove off. It’s a pity he didn’t run her over in the process.
On the lighter side, one of these kids is doing his own thing. Which one doesn’t belong?
