FUZZBOX "Rules and Regulations"

My first ever video made for about 50p in 1984/5 for the fantastic Fuzzbox/Vindaloo Records. Shot on a Beaulieu 4008 with a dodgy motor: perfect for that Fuzzbox home movie look. It's a bit dark in places, but then we didn't have any lights to speak of. Lots of bad jokes, including a Fonzy doll getting a BJ from Barbie.
In its time it was revolutionary. It was pretty much the first ever DIY music video. Prior to that, Indie bands just had their photos on the Chart Show.
This video was shown something like 7 weeks running on the Chart Show, and then was Indie Video of the year on the Xmas special.
Still one of my favourites, and I've made about 80 promos since.

Aw.... totally loved this (and the girls) when I was 16. Now then where the feck is my XX Sex 12" ????

[BOMBhollywood]

amazing band. why isn't the world blessed with more cool girls like this?

[SpiritKnob]

@gobtv I can't remember them from when I were nowt but a lad, but I would have fancied Tina rotten, I reckon. She looks like Claire Grogan, which is never a bad thing. Bit too young here of course, but she was a fox in the mainstream stuff. More so than Vix, I'd wager.

By the way, how come someone hasn't whinged about them changing their sound and "selling out" yet?

[bugle94]

Great stuff! I've got the coloured vinyl release on Vindaloo records. Vix should be at the Slade Rooms a week on Friday with the Nightingales and Ted Chippington. Be There!

[pullbackbaby]

I bought a s/t LP once "We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It " is this track on that one?

[KittensGotTalent]

Excellent video... really captures the band's madness and fun.
