Levitation Sessions : FUZZ


FUZZ : LEVITATION SESSIONS
APRIL 24, 2021

Next up on Levitation Sessions -- FUZZ! Heavy psych power trio Charles Moothart, Ty Segall and Chad Ubovich hit the stage for the first time together in five years to bring listeners and viewers a full set spanning their entire discography.

In October of 2020, FUZZ released their first album in half a decade, III, scorching the earth with pure primitive rock and roll mastery captured by the sonic guru Steve Albini. It’s a record that’s meant to be heard and experienced live, and their Levitation Sessions show is the set fans have all been waiting for. The show was recorded at Zebulon in Los Angeles, CA. Director Joshua Erkman alongside sound engineers Matthew Littlejohn and Mike Kriebel, capture FUZZ’s intense energy backdropped by electric artwork from artist Tatiana Kartomten.

The show premieres at 7PM CT on Saturday, April 24

“It had been 5 years since we had played live together, and III had been in the works for a while. After the world came to a grinding halt, it became obvious that live music wouldn’t happen for some time. That was initially depressing, but ultimately unifying for everyone who missed and loved it. The concept to provide some psychedelic version of an alternate take on the live experience was at first frightening. Once it was obvious bands had a great time making them, and that people who experienced them were in full support … it became an opportunity to look this passage of time directly in the eyes. We wanted to create something that felt like more than just a replacement for seeing us live.

It is inspiring to see how the communities we are a part of (direct and at large) are able to come together and have a good time. The way people who want to make something positive in an extremely trying time really rise up and go beyond. These sessions proved to be a collective effort between Levitation, bands, and fans to support the larger concept of music and human connectivity. 

There was an intense sense of anxiety between the three of us. “Playing a show” was a totally foreign concept at this point, but there was also some kind of primal instinct of how to come together as a band in real time. This is the first time we had played songs from III in the context of a set, and we found new footing on some of the old songs. This led us down avenues we hadn’t seen in rehearsal. To find ourselves in the space right in between lost and found (aka live) was both alarming and electrifying after having been away from it for so long.”
