Blending the finest underground UK real dance music of the last 6 decades from Doo Wap, real R&B, Mod Jazz, Northern Soul, Freak Beat, Garage Rock, Psychedelia, Roacksteady, Ska, Eastern Sitar Funk, Lounge Core, Hammond Groove, Deep Funk, Acid Jazz, Rock & Roll, Orgasmic Pop, Brit Pop and the finest bands from the UK, Europe and Stateside.
Since then we have taken The Buzz from it's humble beginnings at the back room of a pub to the UK's longest running and eclectic event.

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!

January Fuzzy Federal Fun! Sat 31st Jan. City Screen Basment, York. The Federals, The 99s + Reefus Moons What more can be said about The Federals? Other than they play crushing garage fuzz blues, sound like angry version of The Sonics, are loved by Steve Lamacq, The Times and they our favorite band, possibly ever.
The 99's are from across the Pennines, but you'll not mind once they start ripping into their Beatlesy / Byrdsy pop... and they sound a bit like The La's - which aint no bad thing.
Refus Moons is Yorks closest answer to Syd Barrett, except without the debilitating brain melting acid induced mental health problems... well, maybe...
