Fitz of Depression
Fitz of Depression is an American punk rock band from Tumwater, Washington, formed in 1987. The band released three albums before splitting up in 1997. There were brief reunion tours in 2000 and 2002. The band continues to play, particularly in the Northwest, with occasional west coast tours. They are currently (2012) looking for a label to release a 28 track CD of all the old "vinyl only" E.P. and 7" tracks, as well as an album of new recordings.
==History==
Formed in Tumwater in 1987, the band's original lineup consisted of Mike Dees (Mikey Dees AKA Mikey Nelson-vocals, guitar), Jim Koontz (bass guitar), and Craig Becker (drums).〔Strong, Martin C.

A benefit concert was held in April 1991 to help Dees pay fines for traffic violations and avoid jail, with the band joined on stage by Bikini Kill and Nirvana and the concert filmed for the documentary film ''Hype!''.〔True, Everett (2006) ''Nirvana: The True Story'', Omnibus Press, ISBN 978-1844496402〕 Von Bargen was replaced by Justin Warren.〔 A self-titled debut album, which had been recorded in 1991, was the band's last release on Meat, subsequently signing with K Records, for whom they debuted with the July 1994 album ''Let's Give It a Twist'' (released in the UK the following year on Fire Records).〔 Warren (who later joined Quitters, Inc.) had himself been replaced by Brian Sparhawk in 1993.〔Hage, Erik "(Fitz of Depression Biography )", Allmusic, retrieved 2012-06-29〕 In April 1995, while touring the UK, the band recorded a session for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show, at the Maida Vale BBC studios in London.〔"(23/04/1995 - Fitz Of Depression )", ''Keeping It Peel'', BBC, retrieved 2012-06-29〕 Third and final album ''Swing'' was released in April 1996.〔 The band signed to Warner Bros. but split up in 1997 before any releases for the company.〔〔
The band reunited briefly in 2000 to tour with Bad Brains (at the time going by the name Soul Brains due to issues with their record label), but they split again before the tour was completed.〔 They reunited again in 2002 for some live shows.〔Ehtbar, Joe (2002) "(ROAM THE CLUBS FOR A LITTLE HOLIDAY ESCAPISM.
