The Short Fuses blasted off from Minneapolis, MN, in 1996, when key members Miss Georgia Peach (lead vocal) and Travis Ramin (lead guitar) left the band Speedway and joined up with Pennsylvania guitarist and third key member Justin Staggs (rhythm guitar). The three, along with a mixture of rhythm sections, have cranked out some of the most powerful and sexy female fronted rock-n-roll in recent history. The first two singles came out right away like a bullet. The first was "Kick It In" b/w "Goof" on Space Race Records and the second, "Ride Me" b/w "No Way", was one of the earliest on 007 records. The success of the singles along with a US tour that had the band sharing the stage with the likes of The Hookers, DGeneration, and The Steel Miners, put the band on a pedestal with their rock contemporaries. Soon after the band began work on their first album "#1", released on Ramin's own Jet Star Records. This release brought the band to many more ears. During the tour for "#1", the band played a Saturday night gig in Los Angeles at the late, great Bar Delux. In attendance were such rock luminaries as Lux Interior and Poison Ivy, Pat Todd of The Lazy Cowgirls and Flipside writer and R.A.F.R. Records head Martin McMartin. The buzz began and made its way to Long Gone John at Sympathy for the Record Industry, and so the band made a deal to cut a single and LP. This became "Get The Hell Down", the official debut LP that was like no one had ever heard before. The rise continued as The Short Fuses rocked the Twin Cities scene, headlining the Rock Action festivals from 2000-2002 and rocking the Las Vegas Shakedown. Upon recording the Sonic Rendezvous Band classic "Electrophonic Tonic" for a tribute cd, the track was heard by surviving SRB member and Detroit music legend Scott Morgan. Morgan was impressed and got in touch with the band to record a duet. The band was thrilled and kicked out two high energy tunes that carried the group to the mighty Spanish label Safety Pin Records, who loved the single so much that an LP was offered. This third LP is The Short Fuses' best. Heavy hitting, wild playing with reckless abandon with the melodic, sexy power vocals of Miss Georgia Peach front and center. Hot rock-n-roll action is the only way to describe the fierce new platter. The Short
Fuses' new lineup is Miss Georgia Peach (lead vocals), Travis "Smack"
Ramin (lead guitar), Justin Staggs (rhythm guitar), Brett Staggs (drums),
and Jason Dangle (bass). We Will, We Will........Rock You!
