Fuzzysurf's "Don't Go Overboard"

Set sail on a musical voyage

filled with theatrics, thrills and aquatic adventure!

Just ignore the seasick and keep moving forward...

Directed by Tommy Simms, Fuzzysurf's "Don't Go Overboard" sees the indie rockers stage a theatrical performance set to the tune off their double LP, "Chameleons." From shark attacks to siren songs, Fuzzysurf stays the course through their seafaring escapades, delivering a maritime matinee that's a true whale of a tale.

"You can always count of Fuzzysurf to release some of the most inventive, ambitious, and all-around impressive music videos in Milwaukee ... this honestly could be their best one yet."

- Tyler Maas, Milwaukee Record

SUCKY

Experience the latest cinematic collaboration

between Fuzzysurf and Simwig Studios

Trudging through the mundane daily grind, a trio of average joes chance their luck at winning the lottery.

What could go wrong?

"The Fuzzysurf music videos are next level, and the animation is insane. You can tell they try to level-up every time, but this one outdoes them all. It's so professional, it's insane. The stop-motion is so seamless, it almost looks like CGI. It is so beautiful and the music goes along to it so well."

"Fuzzysurf and Simwig Studios have been responsible for some of the city's finest music videos over the last few years and it's quite possible this one is their best work yet. Make this Friday the 13th a good day and watch the 'Sucky' music video now."

"Just when you thought the indie rockers couldn't possibly match their previous visual efforts that featured footage of puppets and other inventive concepts with top-notch production, the band decided to bring animation into the mix... Today, Fuzzysurf outdid their (previous efforts) with what we can safely call its best video yet."
