On Saturday 24-11-2023 The Fuzztones played at Athens Greece at KYTTARO Live Club / ΚΥΤΤΑΡΟ with support the local band The Snails
The Snails is a well known garage rock band with many years of experience and very good sound They opened the night around 21.30 and soon made all the fans in the club dancing with their fast and wild rhythm.They had a very well worked set of songs and a surprise before the end playing the song "I'm five years ahead of my time" with the bass player of The Fuzztones Eric Geevers on the vocals
Around 22.30 The Fuzztones came on the stage loud and hard with their opening theme and all the club was shaking from the noise of the fans.They played over an hour and a half a fantastic medley of their best songs with a surprise of a Cramps tribute and many of their best songs.Of course Rudi hasn't forgotten to mention his old friend Nikos Triantafilides (The famous director producer and music promoter who died so soon at his 50s) and play the song ''barking up the wrong tree" that wrote for him."The new addition on the band Marcello Salis (guitarist of The Morlocks and The Hangees) fit in perfectly with the band and had a fantastic performance along side with Eric Geevers on the blasting bass guitar Nico Secondini on the frenzic keybords and Marco Rivagli the drum master.
This time Rudi Protrudi the man behind the history of the band and also its founder had a super mood and he never stopped talking to the people making jokes and having the whole of the band in a show more like a rehearsal with good friends than a strictly "came to play a great gig and good night" performance.
''This band was never a mainstream band and never had the publicity like others bands in music industry but its still here after over 43 years with the support of the fans filling the clubs with people"
"And i am happy to see not only the good old fans and friends tonight but many young people who were born long time after the founding of the band and this give us hope , joy and strength to continue doing what we do"
Those were Rudi's words and he also added that they love Greece and the Greeks and they always feel great whenever their visit our country.Of course we love them also and want them to come here every year.All the members of the band are great simple people who are close to their fans.
I thank them a lot for the friendship that we share many years now and for the long talks we have about music and life
I want to add in the end that the sound engineer of the club Yiorgos did a great job that night and made a fantastic sound
I want to thank all the stuff of the KYTTARO Live Club for their help and support
