August 6, 2012Hope you’ll be in town September 6th-8th. It’s going to be a music filled weekend in Fresno. That’s the weekend for the Fresno Urban Sound Experience Festival.

Where’s all the metal?????? No AZAZEL???????? That sux!!
You know that we love Azazel, Ric, we’ve been proud to have you guys play the past couple years!! Kady! Danger, Your Hero Is A Villain and Dislodic will be doing a fine job of representing the metal community this year. That doesn’t mean we couldn’t use more or that we don’t want more (because we freaking do!), we just have to cut it off somewhere. These are the toughest decisions of putting together this festival every year: What friends of FUSE Fest do we have to leave off the team for a year. We’d be thrilled to have Azazel back ASAP, Mr. May is Fresno’s Shred King!
Hey, we are the Genetics, we are Punk/Ska band from Fresno, and we were wondering if you had a spot for us on the bill.
Thank you for your time.
I would like to play… never been asked so i’m asking lol
Nooooooo!!! What happened to Rademacher???
They were asked but were unable to play. BUT, in case you didn’t notice, College Kids are playing which is Malcolm Sosa’s (Rademacher) other band.
Azazel fans:
Ciafront.org provided audio support for last year’s FUSE Festival and we had the honour of running sound for Azazel. They were a fine, professional outfit and they sounded great. You can find pictures and listen to a recording of their entire set at this link:
