Stuffy and Jen on getting close and personal at gigs
|
Stuffy and The Fuses all met while at college 'a dinosaur age ago' but it's only in the last year that they started playing together as a band. Stuffy plays drums and sings, all of which he does standing up. They've just finished recording their new as-yet-untitled album with legendary knob-twiddler Steve Albini. Their new single Where's The Captain? is out now on Wrath Records.

"When I had a cold, my dad called me Stuffy instead of Stevie. It's stuck." |
Why did it take so long for you to get together?
Stuffy: (vocals/drums) "I wanted Jen (guitar/vocals) to come into the band from the beginning but she said 'no' so I recorded the album and I gave her a copy to give to someone else. But she kept it for herself and then changed her mind and wanted to join the band!"
Jen: "I made you beg. And then you made me beg. And then we both got confused. But here we are..."

Obviously Stuffy isn't your real name...
S: "Stuffy is my nickname - I've had it since I was a little fella. When I had a cold, my dad called me Stuffy instead of Stevie. It's stuck. Do I get a lot of bad colds? Not really. I did have Whooping Cough once and that was thoroughly enjoyable. It is good for the sympathy vote. I'm a typical bloke, whinging and saying that I'm dying. Being stuffy, I feel stuffy every day."
J: "I never feel stuffy if I can help it..."
