Boston power pop band The Cinnamon Fuzz made their NYC debut last week with an early morning show at Arlene's Grocery. (These post-midnight start times are going to kill me one day.) The band played a strong set consisting of "80's new-wave" sounding originals from their debut EP "Cruise of the Century" along with a well chosen Prince cover.



The Cinnamon Fuzz just released their debut CD as a pay-what-you-will download on Bandcamp and the disc captures some of the best elements of 80's new wave. The five tracks range from the funk/Nile Rodgers style guitar work on "Reboot My Heart" to the exuberant Kim Wilde syle harmonies on "Time Bomb Tickin'" to the Depeche Mode style melancholia of "Strangers".
