Fucked Up Stupid
F.U.S. was started in early 2003 by Royce Icon.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started making sound in about 99 or 2000 when I got my first guitar. I recorded some stuff on cassete that was basically me screaming over guitar. Then a few years later I started playing keyboard, and I fell in love and began recording a bunch of keyboard and found sound experiments on cassete tape and a computer. I then started working with stevi7 (TVkill, tactilvision) and I learnt a bit more about recording and started doing more serious stuff. and F.U.S. was born.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live when I can.
