46:55 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

Fuzzy Daupner live at Acme Underground (9 Great Jones St, NY, NY) on Saturday, May 5, 2001.

Setlist: Monster Now, Christian Rock, Ten Minutes Cat, Dancing With Myself, Sliding Gardens, Possible Calhoun, Pent Breeze, Sign of the Malls, The Us Hounds, The Filmography of Ann B. Davis.

Fuzzy Daupner was an obscure New Jersey rock band which, in the brief span of 3 years (1998-2001), created a catalog of 32 amazing songs.

Fuzzy Daupner began in 1998 when Carrie Engdahl (now Carrie Ann Carroll) began collaborating with her sister Denice and Denice’s husband Frank on creating songs. Awhile later, they joined forces with Rob DiCaterino (who later went on to co-host The Paunch Stevenson Show) on drums and formed the band Fuzzy Daupner. The final member, Phil Mould (from England) on bass, joined a little later.

They produced two home-recorded, Internet-distributed albums, and played many shows around New Jersey and NYC. But they never got signed and they broke up in November 2001.

This show from May 2001, recorded on a Walkman, is being released here for the first time.
