J’Cuuzi

Describing J’cuuzi as a band is at the very least inaccurate, or worse: incorrect. While they deliver electrifying, borderline acrobatic live performances of high octane, glitchy songs that modulate between serrated post punk guitar and pulsing electro beats, there is an ambiguous quality to them that the word “band” lacks the range to capture. The members wear handmade couture, with bulbous anime-esque proportions and insectile features sewn into drag silhouettes. Their stage is set like a cheap studio apartment: a spinning blue egg chair and a stack of guitar amps sit on either side of a bedazzled ironing board, from which a disco ball hangs.

Since their inception in February 2024, J’cuuzi’s ferocity has earned them opening slots for acts like Viagra Boys, Upchuck, Snooper, Haute & Freddy, and Warmduscher; and landed them on the cover of The Austin Chronicle and as KUTX’s Artist Of The Month. In July 2025 the group released their debut EP SLUDGEcontent, along with a drone-shot music video featuring the lead single performed live from the back of a moving box truck. Whether you call them a band, a performance art troupe, or a fashion house; J’cuuzi has set a pace of expansion and experimentation that proves theirs is an act worth watching.
