Part of the purpose of this site is to show the history and evolution of The Fuzztones.
Even among dedicated fans of the band, there many misconceptions about the band and its history.

It could be said that The Fuzztones have three periods of existence:
The New York Years (1980-85) - From inception to the classic '84-85 lineup.
The Los Angeles Years (1987-92) - The reformation of the band to its breakup in '92.
The "Resurrection" (1997-Present) - The reunions of '97-99 which led to the reformation of the band in 2001, which is together now and extremely well received by fans in Europe, Mexico and U.S.A..
Here is a chronological Fuzztones family tree.
(Also included are the reunion lineups from 1997-1999).
