TFX - The Fuse Experience

TFX formed when Lee Zajciw and James Oldrini embarked on a popular music course at Derby College in 2001 as The Fuse Experience. Lee and James had previously formed a band with other lads in and around their local area as Fuse.

At this time they were without a drummer, and before long Chris joined the band. Chris’s drumming skills impressed Lee and James. Soon the three lads were working together writing and playing their own material.

TFX have now developed a wide range of styles based on a modern Sixties sound with influence from the late, great Jimi Hendrix, the Who and The Beatles.

In this format the band played locally at various carnival and town centre gigs, and in less than a year of playing together, they improved to such an extent that Derby College entered them into their annual “Battle of the Bands” competition. Further performances have been given at the Derby Assembly Rooms and on the RAM FM Sound Stage to provide some of the music for a prestigious fashion show.

The band has gone from strength to strength, appearing at diverse venues such as the Belper Leisure Centre, and at the impressive UK Skills Show at Salford Quays in Manchester.

In 2002, The Fuse Experience scooped first prize in Derby Colleges East Midlands Regional Final of the “Battle of the Bands” held in Derby.

Recent changes in the band line up saw new drummer Sean Skinner slip behind the drum kit bringing with him fresh ideas and different influences which are guaranteed to launch the band on new and exciting musical paths.

Soon after Sean joined TFX, the band were picked to play at the north’s biggest bikers festival “The Pentrich Rock & Blues Custom Bike Show”, where they wowed the crowd with a blistering one hour set!
 

Comments from Pro Live Audio engineers:

The first time I saw these guys was on 25/11/05 we had been hired for an all day event at Derby University.  On first impressions I was blown away with how good these young guys were, very strong stage presence, they acted like they'd been doing this for years. Retro 60's sound with a fresh new feel, they did 2 sets on the day with an awesome Hendrix cover thrown in.

Look forward to hearing you guys again - awesome guitar work!! - Jon.
