Fuzigish is a ska punk band based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Formed in 1997, Fuzigish have become veterans of the South African punk rock and ska scenes, and have performed at and headlined almost every festival in the country.Fact|date=February 2007 They have released three CDs through their own indie punk label Red Ambulance. Fuzigish have toured internationally with bands like Frenzal Rhomb and The Selecta, and continue to headline shows and festivals in SA. They supported The Violent Femmes in front of 12,000 people in Johannesburg in 2006, and Big Willy and Ampie Omo joined the Fems on stage as part of their brass section The Horns of Dilema.

In March 2007 Fuzigish released their latest album "Roll With The Punches" to sold out venues all over South Africa. The album is very well received and is being play listed on most South African radio stations. A few of the tracks will appear on the soundtrack of "Footskating 101", a new film by the Crazy Monkey crew.

In 2006 Fuzigish invited American pop punk band Lagwagon to play in South Africa. The success of that tour ensured that Fatwreck band The Mad Caddies came to SA in May 2007 to join Fuzigish on stage in Dbn, Jhb and CT. Yet again the tour was a great success and now Fuzigish and the Punk Scene of SA are eagerly awaiting the arrival of NOFX in November 2007. NOFX will join Fuzigish on stage for a few shows enabling all their SA fans to see them in Africa for the first time. Updateneed
