 Let's Go Panthers!
The New Fuse is heading back to the place where it all began...sort of. The band will be performing at Mac's Uptowner on Saturday, October 22nd for the Eastern Illinois University Homecoming Weekend Hootenanny. Davies and Kimbrough just so happen to be Eastern Alums and sure as shit the two young musicians enjoyed a short stint in a Santana cover band while attending summer school together back in 1999. Who would have known that the two would cross paths again in Chicago and start up The New Fuse in 2006. Further more...who would have guessed that The New Fuse would be coming back to Chuck-town to rock out The Towner as they had done many times in the years past. This show will sure to be explosive and full of drunkin' debauchery that you won't want to miss!
