On this day, 10 December 1986, alternative rock group Fuzzbox played Cardiff’s Montmerence Club.
We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It!!, often shortened to Fuzzbox, were formed in Birmingham in 1985, the all-female then quartet originally consisted of Vix (Vickie Perks), Magz (Maggie Dunne), Jo Dunne and Tina O'Neill.
They disbanded in 1990 after releasing two studio albums, and reunited in 2010 for a series of concerts. A second reunion was confirmed in 2015.
Their first release, in March 1986, was a single of "XX Sex" and "Rules and Regulations", with the fuzzbox featuring prominently, which reached No. 41 in the UK charts. This proved a huge success for the group: while not reaching the Top 40, the Vindaloo Records release remained in the Indie chart for 25 weeks.
This led to tours of the UK and Europe and, in December that year, their debut album, Bostin' Steve Austin, was released
