Stuffy/The Fuses

Stuffy/The Fuses were an indie rock band from South London formed in 2003.
The band was formed by Stephen Gilchrist (aka stuffy, also the drummer in Graham Coxon's band)who recorded the band's debut album Join Me Or Die before actually getting a complete line up together. The core line up consisting of Jon Fuse (aka Jon Clayton), Jen Fuse (aka Jen Macro), and stuffy formed in early 2003. They released the double A-sided single "Evel Knievel"/"In The River" on Magoo's May Go Zero label. Shortly after they signed to Wrath Records and were the token Londoners on the Leeds-based label.
The next couple of years were spent sporadically touring and supporting such bands as Duels, Battle, ¡Forward, Russia! and Brakes. They were also one of the last bands to record a Peel Session which included a cover of "Top Tim Rubies" by  Deerhoof; the session was broadcast on Huw Stephens' show after Peel's death.
In 2005 they recorded the follow-up album Angels Are Ace which was recorded by Steve Albini. The full release of the album followed in 2007 on London based record label Sour Puss.
The band played mainly as a 3 piece for 2007/2008 and played their last show (including Lucy Fuse) on 23 January 2009 at The Windmill in Brixton, South London.
