Can a sound effect change the world?

Since the dawn of the electrical age, we’ve lived alongside the sound of distortion. It’s the hiss of
TV static, the harsh crackle of a speaker pushed too loud. However, what happens when this glitch,
a signifier of the broken and the wrong, becomes part of popular music?

Fuzz flung open the door for rule breakers and rebels. It was a sonic weapon that could stimulate
powerful emotions, whip audiences into a frenzy and spark rebellion.

Starting on a highway in 1950s America, music journalist John Robb will follow fuzz through time,
calling on philosophy and science to uncover the secrets of this sound. He will stop off at the
magical moments of accident and destruction that allowed the sound to evolve and spread.
Including a rare demonstration from rock and roll icon Dave Davies on how he crafted the iconic
guitar distortion on You Really Got Me.

Interviews with Jerry Phillips, Toby Young, Dave Davies, Mathilde Massenet, Greg Bryant, Ant
Macari and Matthew Worley

Actors voices provided by Paul Colgate (So Sinatra), Phia Saban and Rob Campbell

Presenter: John Robb

On this day 35 years ago ~ Galaxie 500 in Manchester

"Galaxie 500 are hardly jackboot down the throat rockers from hell. This is an insidious pulse, stragely affecting... this dream never ends"

Well, this is most unexpected. A new album from #GaryMarx co founder of #SistersofMercy

Apparently it's a glam rock inspired album and will be released in a couple of months.
#WayneHussey #MilesHunt and #JohnRobb are involved too. Should be fun!

From the Archives: A visit to the Buffalo Bill memorial in #Colorado was an experience in itself for someone who grew up reading cowboy stories like of Catsfoot, Billy The Kid and other #JohnRobb westerns... Here are some pics from the #BuffaloBill Museum & Grave, Golden, Colorado...
