CUZ is an indie rock band formed in 2008 featuring Sam Dook of The Go! Team and Mike Watt of Minutemen and fIREHOSE.[1] Their debut album Tamatebako was released on May 14, 2014.[2]

History

In 2006, Watt met Sam Dook of The Go! Team at Big Day Out.[1] Watt was intrigued by The Go! Team's use of samples.[3]

I was kind of naïve or something, I wasn’t familiar with that technology, right? I actually didn’t know, I thought they were playing all that stuff. To me, tape recorders—you play music and the tape recorder captures it. But this whole idea of samples…it’s a pretty creative tool and, you know, I wanted to explore it.[3]

Dook and Watt began corresponding via email and decided to form a band. Watt visited Dook in Brighton while The Stooges were in London and they jammed for three days.[4] Watt suggested Dook use pieces of those sessions as samples to create new songs.[4] When Watt returned home to San Pedro he sent more bass tracks to Dook. Eventually, they finished the album over email[5] and named their project "CUZ" based on a zine Richard Hell put out decades earlier.[3]

Their debut album, entitled Tamatebako, was released in 2014[1] and features guest vocals by Charles Plymell, DJ Scotch Egg, and fellow Go! Team member Kaori Tsuchida.[1] The album title references the mysterious box of Japanese legend.[6]

A tour in 2015 followed.[7][8]
