The Company News 8/26/2008Major positive change is on it's way and we could be happier about it. Stay tuned for news on that front. This weekend the band is doing double duty- Friday night in Nassau at the Lyons Lake Inn and Saturday in Hadley at Melba Mae's. A little FYI- On Sunday, October 5th- The Fizziks will be recording our live DVD promoting the new corporate spin -(think time travel through the last four decades of rock and roll)- at the Little Theater in Fort Edward. Our friends The Joe Nacco Band will be joining us for the benefit/family reunion that will follow our taping. And you are all invited, of course!! 8/19/2008New shows have been booked and rumor has it that the Fizziks will be performing at Pinhead Susan's Fall Block Party on September 27th. We had a great time at the benefit last Saturday and look forward to our return to Melba Mae's on the 30th. Tune in this Friday night at 8PM to 97.7 FM to hear some original material from the Fizziks!! 8/12/2008First things first, we are playing this Friday night at Pinhead Susan's in Schenectady. You know the joint- great food, cold beer, friendly faces. We start at 9- stop on by. On Saturday, we are proud to be a part of a fundraiser for Autism at Hadley Park in Hadley. 5 live bands, bouncy bounces for the kids, food vendors and so much more. We play 3-4, but the benefit runs all day from 9-5. Come on down and donate to a worthy cause!! 8/5/2008The Fizziks have been working delingently on new material, both original and cover, and plan to debut it this week! We are so excited to be playing at Savannah's this Thursday night from 8-11. First of all, we are playing right after Alive at 5, which is great because people already arrive in a partying mood. Secondly, we are teaming up with a VJ by the name of Brother Immortal who will be mixing in video to the music we are playing. This is a multimedia event not to be missed!! On Saturday, the band travels to Greenwich and the Old Station Inn. The last time we are there is was a blast and we expect nothing less this time around! 7/29/2008-Time is sure flying by; before you know it September will be here. Enjoy the heat while you can!! 7/22/2008-Happy Tuesday. New songs and shows are in the works. The band is looking forward to getting back to work in early August. 7/15/2008-The Fizziks will be taking the rest of the month off to prepare new material (both cover and original). Come visit us in August at Savannah's on August 7th. 7/1/2008-Welcome to July. Well, the year is half over at this point and time has been really flying by. The shows this weekend were stellar and we are excited to be stopping back in Hadley on July 12th. We will have some new shows posted for the Old Station soon as well. The band will be expanding it's scope throughout the remainder of the year; focusing more on corporate events/private parties and less on club shows. Info will provided to you as it becomes available, so keep an eye out. Also, if you feel that the Fizziks would be a good fit at your company's event, please call us on our business hotline at 1-888-250-4811 ext. 703 and leave a message. This Thursday, we will be back in Albany at Savannah's- stop down and say hi!! 6/24/2008-You know it's summer in upstate NY when droves of Jersey turkeys and city folk clog up the Northway!! Well, we can't promise you that you'll be the only one on the road, but we can promise you a great time. Twin guitars and hypnotic lights lead the way as The Fizziks "quantum leap" from the psychedelic sounds of the 60's to the arena rock power of the 70's, through 80's pop and 90's grunge to some of the hits of today!! Join us Friday in Hadley at Melba Mae's and Saturday in Greenwich at the Old Station Inn. 6/17/2008-It was a bit slow on the lake last Saturday, but we had a blast anyway. Shari and Barry are such good hosts- if you have the opportunity stop down to Lyon's Lake and say hello. We will be back on August 29th. We have this coming weekend off and will spend it preparing new material. P>6/10/2008-Our thanks go out to Savannah's for being such great hosts last Thursday night. They liked us so much down there that they booked two more shows with us-one each in July and August. This Saturday night we will be playing a new venue- the Lyons Lake Inn in Nassau. The show starts at 8. P>6/3/2008-Hitting Alive at Five in Albany this Thursday? Stop down to Savannah's right afterwards and catch the Fizziks during a rare Thursday night performance. We were originally scheduled to play this Friday, but the management thought it better to have us play after Dennis DeYoung from Styx does his thing. We will be playing all of your classic/alternative favs from the past 40 years-don't miss it!! There is also a possibility that we will be playing in Plattsburgh on Friday. If that is the case, you all will be the first to know. P>5/27/2008-A few more shows have been booked, but the big news is the date change for our Savannah's show. Instead of Friday, the Fizziks will be playing Thursday night after Alive at 5 from 8-11. Dennis DeYoung will be blasting out all of the old Styx material from 5-8 and then the Fizziks will be rocking out on South Pearl. Hope to see you there. P>5/20/2008-We would like to thank the Lighthouse Tavern for being great hosts to us last Saturday night. The band will be taking a few wekks off to learn new material... unless we run into a show.

The band will be taking the next few weeks to compile some new material and vacation before the busy season starts. P>4/1/2008-Happy April Fool’s Day!! The shows this past weekend were interesting to say the least (and that’s no joke). Joel has assimilated quite nicely so far and the response has been outstanding. This Friday we will be invading a new joint (at least for us) in Chatham called Peint O’Gwrw (yes that is the correct spelling). It’s lovingly called the "Pub" by townies, probably due to the fact that last work doesn’t have any vowels in it. Saturday night we will be heading back to Gloversville for a show at the new Upper Deck. P>3/25/2008-MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT- The band is excited to introduce Joel Marshall as our new second guitarist.

Jeromie, Chris (our marketing associate) and Vincent even found some time for bowling. The band will be back there in March. This week, the band stays closer to home to play a show at Philly's in Latham. 1/2/2008-The Fizziks welcome 2008 with a bang!!

Christmas has come and gone and now all eyes are on the next holiday. The nice thing about New Years is that there is no need to stand in long lines spending money you may not have on people you never see. The disadvantage is sharing the road on "amateur night". The Fizziks have solved that problem for you. Come and celebrate New Year's early with us at The Crooked Lake House in Averill Park (www.thecrookedlakehouse.com) from 8-12 this Friday. Located only 30 minutes outside of Albany, this joint has quite a history- specifically for being the upstate location for high stakes poker games with gangsters such as Legs Diamond and other debauchery during Prohibition. Join us and start the New Year off right!!! 12/18/2007-Good morning. The band has been booking dates in the New Year like mad and the focus for now is to create an incredible visual and audio spectacle-something very unique to this area. If you haven't been out to see us in a while, come out and check out the new sound and lighting- it's pretty cool. 12/11/2007- Well we have a bit a news this week as well. It seems our keyboardist Evan would be happier living in NYC and he has an opportunity to move there at the end of this month. We wish him well. The beat goes on and we will continue. Honestly we don't know how to do anything but go on. 12/4/2007- We are continuing to audition new guitarists and hope to have our new man or woman by the end of 2007. If you know anyone who is committed and sane, please send them our way. 11/27/2007-Well, in this business I guess nothing is permanant. Bob Fox decided that that commute from Queensbury to Albany was too far and will not be continuing with us. Auditions have already begun to fill the position and we will be using fill-ins until we find the right person. The show must go on. By the way, we never played that show last Wednesday on Saratoga Lake. The place never opened and the person who booked us didn't give us the common courtesy of a phone call letting us know. 11/19/07- There will be new pictures soon for sure, we promise. This Wednesday, the band will be traveling to a brand new venue, The Waterfront Grill and Oyster Bar in Saratoga Lake. Our first show this past Saturday in Hadley at Melba Mae's went very, very well.
