I believe they had 2 shows. The line-up was Rivers singing and guitar, Pat Wilson on drums, and a girl named Scottie Chapman on bass. Then Scottie either left or was kicked out. (Scottie turned up years later, by the way, as one of the cast members of Mythbusters" on The Discovery Channel. See her present day Mythbusters bio here. There was an attempt to keep the band going, and a different girl bass player was breifly tried out for a few days. But around that time (early summer 91), 60 Wrong Sausages started up, and Rivers let Fuzz fizzle out.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062941if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist1.html Weezer Recording History, Page 1]}} | I believe they had 2 shows.
