Fuzigish is a punk/ska band based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Formed in 1997, Fuzigish have become veterans of the South African punk/ska scene and have played and headlined almost every festival in the country. Fuzigish plays an infectious catchy brand of punk music that has audiences going nuts and skanking a riot at their energy fuelled live shows.
Along with three acclaimed CDs released through their own indie punk label Red Ambulance and a fourth studio album expected late 2006, Fuzigish have also toured internationally with bands like Frenzal Rhomb & The Selecta, as well as bringing out punk legends Lagwagon for their first tour to South Africa. They also supported The Violent Femmes to 22000 people over two nights in Johannesburg in 2006. Fuzigish have undoubtebly earned the respect and esteem in which they are held in their home country of South Africa.
