Foxy Shazam Announces January US Tour
12/15/2007
By: Patrick Steven Patterson
The self-proclaimed "Evel Knievel of Rock N Roll," Foxy Shazam will head out on the road in January in support of
upcoming album Introducing Foxy Shazam out January 22nd on New
Weathermen/Ferret Records. Karate High School and Peachcake will join the band on
tour.
Introducing Foxy Shazam, recorded with producer Casey Bates (Chiodos, Heavy
Heavy Low Low), takes Foxy Shazam's piano propelled songs that layer spastic hardcore
noise atop fractured Soul inspired pop to a new level, one that emphasizes good
times.
"The whole point of the album is to be a feel-good dance party. We stepped up our game
while throwing our whole selves and personality quirks in it, making the album very centered
and focused on our development," says vocalist Eric Nally.
Foxy Shazam has been taking their party mobile since their formation in 2004. The quintet
from Cincinnati, OH, which consists of Nally, Loren Turner (guitar), Daisy (bass), Sky White
(piano), and Joe Halberstadt (drums) have booked their own tours in the past with Tub Ring,
Look What I Did, and others. "We've always gone over well with our live shows whether
playing to a bar full of old guys or a VFW hall full of hardcore kids we also draw a positive
reaction."
The band released their debut album The Flamingo Trigger (2005), and then
went on to tour exhaustively, performing over two hundred shows within a span of eighteen
months. The word of mouth about the band began to spread catching the attention of many,
including The Number Twelve Looks Like You's front man and band manager, Jesse Korman.
Foxy Shazam was then quickly introduced by Jesse to Nick Storch of New Weathermen
Records.
