Snuzz -The One Piece Band - 2002from the cd "The One Piece Band"
I'm not sure what posessed me to listen to this cd last night, but I did. It immediately reminded me that I am still constantly amazed at Snuzz's (pronounced Snooze) talent. His voice and his songwriting are so honest and so darn catchy. As if that weren't enough, he's one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. If you've never heard this song before, do yourself a favor and give it a few spins, I think you'll be amazed as well.
The history stuff: Britt (Snuzz) Uzzell started playing bass in the hardcore band Resist while attenting UNCG. After that he band playing in Big Kidz (I'll be posting some of this soon) with Jeff Carroll (of Notes from a Strange Mailbag (I'll be posting some of this soon too). Snuzz then went on to record a solo album with Ben Folds on drums and Evan Olson on bass at Turtle Tapes in Winston-Salem. The played a few shows under the name Pots and Pans. He then went on to form Bus Stop with Evan Olson, Eddie Walker, and Chuck Folds (younger brother of Ben's). Since they broke up Snuzz has released 3 solo albums. For more on Snuzz click here.

Hm... the vocals are not unlike Ben Folds himself.
Snuzz will always be one of my heroes. He was always honest and never afraid to be melodic. Ben Folds tries to sound like him, not the other way around.
Hey, great site. I'll be looking here often. Snuzz is wonderful, and you're absolutely right about him.
You may want to add that Snuzz toured with Ben Folds (guitar and keyboard) for "Rockin' the Suburbs."
Also, regarding history. I was at one of those few Pots & Pans shows. Ben Folds played drums, Evan Olson was on bass, and Snuzz played guitar and was the lead singer. It was one of the best and most fun shows of my life.
You forgot that Snüzz played in the Sociopaths before forming Big Kids. A number of his later songs were first performed with them.
