It’s been about 13 years since the members of local punk rock band Fury 66 have played a live show together. Tonight they are reuniting one last time to bring Santa Cruz County the punk show of the year. Benefiting local charity Grind Out Hunger and Multiple Sclerosis Research, this show is going to rock the walls of the Catalyst for 2 great causes. We have been informed that online tickets are SOLD OUT, but there will be a LIMITED amount of tickets available at the door.

Current Fury 66 Lineup:
Joe Clements
Jeff Frady
Jon Cattivera
Micky Dunegan
Joe Fish

We had the honor of joining the band during a couple of their practices at The Compound Recording Studio in Ben Lomond. We were able to sit down with the band and chat about their past memories as well as their feelings about the reunion show.

It has been a hectic week leading up to this show. Promotion, interviews, articles, photos…we even made a trip to Oakland to pick up  custom made skate decks for the show. These decks are Fury 66/Jimbo Phillips collaboration decks, with proceeds from the sales benefiting Grind Out Hunger. Check out all the info about the decks and how to order one here: Limited Edition Fury 66/Jimbo Phillips Collaboration Deck
A limited amount will be available at the show tonight.

The lovely Jessica McDermott of Staircase tattoo on Front Street offered FREE Fury 66 Shield tattoos to the general public yesterday. We took a trip over there with Fury 66 guitarist, Jeff Frady, got tattooed, snapped some pics and hung out for a bit. Thanks to Jessica for doing that! We made sure she got a Fury 66 skate deck.

As the hours pass and it gets closer and closer to show time emotions are running high. Jeff Frady contacted us this morning expressing his feelings as he counts down the minutes to show time, “This shit is so touching. WAY more than I though it was gonna be. It’s UNREAL how many people are reaching out to me/us via Facebook, my phone is BLOWING UP!”
This show is a big deal to the members of Fury 66 as well as their long time fans. “It’s like a Santa Cruz Reunion” the band explained in our interview with them. They cant wait to see everyone together in one place, one last time. Whether you are a die hard Fury fan or not, this show is NOT to be missed. Its going to be the talk of the town for years to come.

To those that have a ticket, see you there!!
To those who don’t, you better get your shit together and find one quick.
