AUTO-BIOGRAPHY SECRET PROJECT & FUZZTONES DOCUMENTARY!
Looks like 2013 will be Rudi's year. While he diligently finishes his long-awaited autobiography, he is also deeply entrenched in a top-secret project that he has
kept under wraps for over TEN years! This project will undoubtedly establish
The Fuzztones legend worldwide! Both bio and project are scheduled for release
THIS YEAR!
And if that isn't enough to start ya salivatin', how about a documentary on the life and times of the Paisley Fog? Yep, after many years of meetings, offers, and even false starts (a Greek filmmaker began a documentary in 2003 which was never finished but whose footage will also be utilized), it looks like it is finally happening. A Berlin filmmaker (who will go unnamed for now) is working closely with Rudi and Lana. Rudi's extensive archives are being scrutinized, scanned, duped and scooped. Loads of unseen footage, photos, and interviews will be included, as well as guest appearances by ex-bandmates, peers and colleagues! Stay tuned for more updates as these exciting developments transpire!!!!! |

collection features unreleased studio and live tracks and interview snippets from radio and TV appearances. Highlights include live tracks from the original pre-Lysergic line-up fuzzin' CBGB's
in 1981, Lysergic line-up in 1985, and Fuzztones
Gonn Primitive (with Gonn's Craig Moore) in 2005 - and all songs never appearing on previous Fuzztones releases! Several unreleased studio tracks too, as well as guest appearances by Ian Astbury, Question Mark, Sean Bonniwell, and Mark Lindsay! A guaranteed necessity for all Fuzz Freaks!!!

No less than THREE new Fuzztones releases are expected this Fall! Italy's Go Down label plans an October release for RAW HEAT, a collection of recordings that were to be the original IN HEAT album, before the record label declined them for being too "rough." These versions are, in our opinion, much fuzzier, grungier, and tougher than the sterilized version that ended up being released. To make it even more interesting, the tracklist will also include soundbites from TV and radio interviews from that period in the band's career. Meanwhile, Germany's Stag-O-Lee plans to re-release the Fuzztones legendary MONSTER A-GO-GO album, in time for this year's Halloween! Lastly, Israel's Third Ear label will be releasing a double CD set of Fuzz-rarities entitled SNAKE OIL. And like it's predecessor, CREATURES THAT TIME FORGOT, this album will feature unreleased studio and live tracks, as well as alternate versions and cuts previously available only on rare compilations. This album will also feature suitably entertaining soundbites from TV and radio appearances, and an incredible cover painted by Bolek Budzyn, the man responsible for the amazing SALT FOR ZOMBIES cover!

The Fuzztones' keyteaser Lana Loveland makes her vocal debut on her long awaited album "Order To Love" to be released on Portugal's GROOVIE RECORDS in April 2011 to coincide with a European tour.
10 songs, Garage Psych Rock at it's best!
A little background info...Loveland was born in 2008, after a lost tape from the band Cox Orange was found! This was the band Lana Loveland and Lenny Svilar formed in 1995. The tape consisted of all original 4 track recordings. Finally in 2008 the band went to a studio and rerecorded all of their originals.
