Ty Segall, Charles Moothart, and Chad Ubovich’s band Fuzz is back. The band have announced a North American tour that takes place in May and June. Find those dates below.
The band’s last album II came out in 2015. Segall recently announced a new band with Lightning Bolt’s Brian Chippendale called Wasted Shirt; their album Fungus II is out February 28.
Weeks after mapping out tour dates with his Freedom Band, Ty Segall has revealed that FUZZ have plans to hit the road for their first tour in five years.
Segall and bandmates Charles Moothart and Chad Ubovich will kick off the run in late May, with a first Canadian stop coming May 31 at Vancouver’s Rickshaw Theatre.
From there, the band will play back-to-back nights at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall and Montreal’s La Tulipe on June 20 and 21, respectively.
Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday (January 31) at 11 a.m. local time.
Ty Segall simply cannot be stopped. Not only is the prolific rocker heading out on his own solo trek, Segall has now announced a North American tour with his project FUZZ.
For FUZZ, which is rounded out by Charles Moothart and Chad Ubovich, these new dates mark their first since 2015. Set for the months of May and June 2020, their itinerary includes shows in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Chicago, and Philadelphia. The trio is also set to play three nights in Los Angeles and two in New York City.

Want loud? Los Angeles-based power trio Fuzz does that, pounding out relentless, ear-splitting riffs with abandon. But they do more, too. For starters, Fuzz is a guitar band par excellence. Name another band where every member—even the drummer—is a guitar-playing badass.
“Fuzz, a garage-rock-tinged metal band, has been around for about four years, but guitarist Charles Moothart (left) has been playing since high school with Ty Segall (right), a high-profile bandmate whose solo work is characterized by distorted vocals, psychedelic guitar riffs, and a sound melding garage, glam, and surf rock…”
” Fuzz do try to fancy things up with string charts on the relatively graceful “Silent Sits the Dust Bowl,” and the 13-minute title track (yes, a song called “II”) shows this band can jam at length without losing the plot or the intensity…”
“The results on their second album, II, are not much different from their self-titled debut except it’s clear Segall’s actually had more time to put into songwriting. Not only is the album longer, the songs take time to develop. Opener ‘Time Collapse pt. II / The 7th Terror’ starts off with the sound of a vinyl being scratched and chopped up under a needle which then segues into a barrage of low-end bass and guitar, amplifier gain turned up to a level that shouldn’t even be legal…”
“Louder, darker and half an hour longer than 2013’s self-titled debut, the double-album depicts a society numbed by its own emptiness; a world where people can’t think for themselves. You can hear it in the combative frustration behind ‘Red Flag’ (“Seen the secrets of your wasteland/Open up, I’ll make you face them”) and the flashes of fatalism in songs like ‘New Flesh’ (“Feel no pain, feel no sadness/In this world where living is lifeless”)…”
“On their second album, Fuzz II (due October 23), the three friends—Segall on drums, guitarist Charles Moothart, and bassist Chad Ubovich—pick up right where their pummeling, proto-metal, self-titled 2013 debut left off…”
“The new release comes of the back of the band’s 2013 self titled debut LP Fuzz, released through independent Californian record label In The Red Records. Very little has been said by the band about this latest release. The band seems to be content with letting the music do the talking.
“the Ty Segall-fronted (or backed, since he sings from behind the drum kit) project has gained a new bassist: Chad Ubovich, mastermind behind one of our favorite groups to emerge out of the local scene in 2014, Meatbodies. And when it came time to write their forthcoming LP, Fuzz II, out Oct. 23 on In The Red, the group took a stab at a songwriting process that was foreign to each of them, resulting in a much darker, doomier and, as Ubovich notes, “way more evil” sound…”
“If II proves anything, it’s that Fuzz remains a force to be reckoned with. Segall and co. have only honed their chops in the years since their debut, and it’s almost terrifying to project what will come in the next stage of their evolution…”
“The opener, “Time Collapse Pt II./ The 7th Terror” has Segalls’ vocals screaming over the coming doom no one can escape. “Let it Live” comes with an opening riff that rattles over Chad Ubovich’s bass and Segall’s more than competent drumming. The song comes to a close with a wailing string section, which scratches itself right into the thrashing of Mootheart’s guitar. ..”
“Fuzz, a no-nonsense garage rock trio that specializes in loud kickass songs and even louder kick ass songs, will play two shows in the Bay Area on Sunday and Monday nights…”
“With a new Fuzz album, though, Segall is back in the spotlight, playing drums with his power trio of guitarist Charlie Moothart (Moonhearts) and bassist Chad Ubovich (Meatbodies). This time around, he heaves forth an impressive 14-song double album made for headbanging and the cultivation of bad vibes, as if all the warmth and goodwill of last year’s Manipulator had turned to ash…
“As primal as these noises are, however, the stoner-metal trio’s music is surprisingly complex. Californian wunderkind Ty Segall is on drums and vocals, his face covered in corpsepaint, Charles Moothart from the Ty Segall Band is on guitar and vocals and Chad Ubovich is on bass and vocals, and the three seem to have an almost telepathic bond…”
” Fuzz has abandonment issues. Abandoning expectation. Abandoning reservation, consummation, resignation, and trite dictation. Instinct is all there is when it comes to the divination of harsh salvation…”
“Between guitarist Charles Moothart and bassist Roland Cosio, Fuzz have enough face-smashing garage riffs to justify keeping their drummer Ty Segall – who just so happens to be one of the premier guitarists of the last few years – behind the microphone and drum kit…”
“egall is now back behind the kit on the band’s forthcoming second album, naturally titled II, which comes out this fall…”
“Ty Segall and Charles Moothart’s Fuzz is releasing its sophomore album II October 23 via In the Red; check out a couple of cuts above…”
“Their music takes early metal and glam elements, amps them up with a post-punk energy, and slathers it all in echo and distortion. For anyone who values the term “Vertigo swirl,” it’s likely to be their favorite new band…”
“Ty Segall’s Fuzz project have detailed the follow-up to their 2013 self-titled debut LP. Appropriately titled II, the new album is due out on October 23rd via In The Red…”
“Cult followed, psychedelic, garage rock shredder Ty Segall has reunited with his band Fuzz to release the power trio’s second record,…”
“Fuzz is that other band from the prolific, left-coast garage rocker, Ty Segall. And like Fuzz’s 2013 release, “Rat Race” and “Pollinate” from Fuzz’s forthcoming, In the Red Records release on 10.23…”
“They are not dabblers or dilettantes. Fuzz have flipped through used bins, hard drives, and record collections of the world, seeking out the finest weirdo cuts…”
“Back in 2013, Ty Segall’s power trio Fuzz released their self-titled debut album. This year, Segall, Charles Moothart, and Chad Ubovich are back with II…”
