Furious George

Furious George

Furious George has been the name of a few bands, including the well-known punk rock band on Lookout Records. Fronted by George Tabb, it also included Stevie Ramone on bass guitar and Michael Harper on drums. Furious George released two full-length albums: "Gets a Record" in 1997, and "V.M. Live" in 1999, as well as a series of singles and EPs.

A band of the same name was formed in Madison, WI, in 1994 which recorded an eponymous CD and won a "Best Unsigned Band" award by Musician Magazine that was announced in 1997 for the songs "Neighbor" and "Waiting For" - both penned by "Furious George" singer, Amy Gautschi.

Another band of the same name, which later was shortened to "FuRious!", was based in Orlando, Florida and won several local music awards as well as shared the stage with many big name rock bands suchs as Sevendust, Godsmack, Our Lady Peace, Fuel, Suicidal Tendencies, Finger 11, Chevelle, and many others. They disbanded in 2007 to go on to other projects.

George Tabb's band played as the character Richie's (Adrien Brody) punk band in the Spike Lee film "Summer of Sam", released in 1999.

Dee Dee Ramone and Joey Ramone have provided guest vocals on some of the band's work.

Finally, a cover band out of Phoenix Arizona shares the name Furious George which performs at venues all over the state...most notably Jimmy Buffetts Margaritaville in Glendale.
