J’Cuuzi: “Fame By Death” [Live In Studio 1A + Music Video Premiere]

All month long, we’ve had the pleasure of familiarizing you with one of Austin’s most ostentatious acts, J’Cuuzi. The dance punk duo of Gorge Bones and Trey Razeldazl have an insatiable appetite for the stage and pushing the boundaries of how they use it to their. Watching the faces of new audiences as they take the group in is part of the fun.

They brought their brand of indulgence to Studio 1A last week ahead of the release of their debut EP Sludge Content, out tomorrow, and their EP release show Saturday night at Mohawk — a free show part of Hot Summer Nights. You can watch the full Studio 1A video as well as the video for “Fame By Death” at KUTX.org.

J’cuuzi: “How 2 Get Everything You’ve Always Wanted 4 Free (Forever)”[PREMIERE]

Austin’s J’cuuzi are about as avantgarde as you can get. Or as I like to call them pop-vantgarde. They’re too electronic to be post-punk, too post-punk to be considered electronic, and a hair too melodic to be straight noise rock. But it’s hot, wild, and maybe a little dangerous, like a jacuzzi.

Their live shows match their songwriting: performing on a stage made to look like a scantily clad apartment filled with its members strutting outrageous, matching homemade costumes that could be described as sideshow couture. All the while, their insatiable high-octane energy locks you in.

“How 2 Get Everything You’ve Always Wanted 4 Free (Forever)” is a raucous, metallic beat-driven tune, growling against the woes of late stage capitalism and their solutions to it and your teetering happiness.

“How 2 Get Everything You’ve Always Wanted 4 Free (Forever)” is out now.
