   About Modern Works
Mixing trippy sixties psychedelia with a bombastic, contemporary pop sound, Modern Works are a classic mod fourpiece forged in Middlesbrough. Imagine the Small Faces catchier moments dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century and given a high-velocity blues treatment, all draped in the archetypal regalia of the best sharp-dressing British bands needle-sharp denim, mod roundels and fringes you could sharpen a razor blade with.

With frontman Ben Fisher boasting a powerful, bluesy voice that conjures up all kinds of delirious sixties beat memories - think Eric Burdon with added sandpaper - Modern Works are set to storm the region's stages once again.

February Fuzzy Fun! Sat 28th Feb. City Screen Basment, York.


Starring: Undergrass + Helene + Sam Forrest

Undergrass will fry your brain with their dirty brand of deep fried southern skynyrd sounding bluesy swamp noise, all the way from Foss delta. Hell Yeah!

Helene are fronted by Helene and hail from London. And will be warming the fuzzy cockles of hearts with Velvet Underground esque pop and hints of Francoise Hardy. Their 3rd Album; 'Heliotrope' is out now, and has been critically loved, because, well it is mega!

Breaking you in gently for the night will be the fantastic Sam Forrest. Who will destroy your inds in a most pleasent fashion with his sublime Neil Young meets David Crosby Acousto-pop. Sublime!

Team Fuzz will, as always be your hosts for the evening! covering the basement in all manner of lights, projections, lollies, decor and serving up classic and not so classic, Blues, Soul, freakbeat, psych, northern soul, boogaloo, funk, odd bits of hiphip and whateverthehellelsetheyfancy.

Doors are at 8pm until 1am and tickets are only £4 otd or just £3 in adv or with a flyer. Be there or be a square from Delaware.
