Filed under: News , Exclusive Ilya S. Savenok,Getty Irony can be a polarizing concept in rock 'n' roll. On one side, you have hipsters in their vintage Journey t-shirts, distantly indulging in classic rock. On the other, you have the earnest diehards who will accept nothing short of the most genuine, by-the-book appreciation of the genre. Somewhere in the middle, straddling the two solitudes in tight leather pants you have rock 'n' roll avengers Foxy [...]
Intense, powerful, oversexed, Foxy Shazam is a hard-rock phenomenon with a reputation for live shows that challenge the volume capacity of speakers and the seam capacity of leather pants. Earlier this year, the band played at the Trocadero with fellow glam-icons The Darkness, making sweet love to a leopard-and-lace crowd with every hip thrust and throaty growl. The first time an aural pregnancy occurs, it will be to a Foxy Shazam fan. [[MORE]] While T he Church of Rock and Roll lacks the experiential power that comes with [...]

Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive I.R.S. Records Foxy Shazam 's 'Showdown Town' is proof that if handguns were real -- as in, hands that also function as guns -- they would be wantonly used. In this fifth installment of their 'State of Mind' webisode series, singer Eric Nally walks down an alleyway decked out in urban-cowboy regalia and shoots bullets out of his fingertips at everything in sight. If we could [...]

Per the album title, there's too much of the former and not enough of the latter on these Queen-loving glam rockers' fourth platter. Like Betty White, over-the-top rock 'n' roll bands are not subject to the vagaries of time and are best appreciated with a knowing camp wink. So if you're naming your album The Church of Rock and Roll as the rowdy Cincinnati crew Foxy Shazam have done with their fourth full length, you sure as heck better come correct. And that goes double if your band name is "Foxy Shazam". Rock 'n' roll is some (cough)...
Por Federino Arballo "Cantante busca 5 dementes para banda de rock teátrico. Aburridos y ortodoxos abstenerse." Uno puede imaginar que ese flyer colgaba por el 2003 en algún antro de Ohio. Nueve años y cuatro discos después, Foxy Shazam es una unidad de rock conformada. The Church Of Rock And Roll , producido por el cantante, freak certificado y líder de los Darkness , Justin Hawkins , es un show de fuegos artificiales rockero. Con guitarras que mandan, arreglos corales [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases EMI Rock and roll dynamos Foxy Shazam aren't just singing about any old backside in their latest single, 'I Like It.' According to singer Eric Sean Nally and horn player Alex Nauth, they are serenading one very specific derriere. While they're happy to discuss the merits and influence of this mysterious bum, they're less willing to talk about its owner. [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Foxy Shazam Video: 'I Like It' Highlight: "You listen to Foxy Shazam on record only one kinda way, and that's through speakers," vocalist Eric Nally tells Spinner. "To really capture the real way you are supposed to see the energy of the band, it takes time, craft and a church of rock 'n' roll. Watch our music video for 'I Like It' and see what we mean." [...]

The Church of Rock and Roll is out now on I.R.S.
It's pretty much a rite of passage for any new band these days to cut their teeth on Nirvana covers, and it's a testament to the band's universal influence when musicians from all genres (and even the bands who influenced Nirvana to begin with) are more likely to play Nirvana songs than those of any other band. Today is Kurt Cobain's birthday. He would have been 45. Here on the KEXP blog, we wanted to share a diverse selection of covers of Nirvana songs and were overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. Here are just a small [...]

Cincinnati rockers, Foxy Shazam, recently released their fourth studio album, The Church of Rock and Roll . The band's name originated from a slang phrase from vocalist's, Eric Nally, high school used to compliment cool shoes. The band is currently on tour with British glam rockers, The Darkness . Check out Foxy Shazam's video for their latest single "I Like It." More Info... Facebook: www.facebook.com/FoxyShazam Twitter: www.twitter.com/foxyshazam Official: www.foxyshazam.com [...]
There were some reservations that The Darkness may have lost a step or two in the seven years since they had toured in the United States. By the end of their Chicago stop on Saturday night, however, any and all reservations were swept away on the rolling thunder of guitars and blaring falsetto. After a less than tolerable opening set of so-kitch-it-hurts 80's metal from Crown Jewel Defense, the mixed crowd of college kids, metal heads (who all kind of looked like Phil and Terry from Wayne's World ), and standard rock fans were all [...]
By Michel Dussack The world needs more bands like The Darkness and Foxy Shazam. Too many bands are going out trying to be perfect, or even worse, trying to be the next big thing. The most refreshing thing about these bands it's their carefree attitude which, especially with Foxy Shazam borders on the line of "I don't give a fuck what you think, this is what we do". My statement might be laughed at, but after seeing the two of ...
In my many travels I have met several people who have claimed, at one time or another, to have experienced the feeling of being awestruck. Some recounted how magnificent architecture took them to a place of existential flux. Others described how the innate beauty of nature brought tears to their eyes and enriched their souls. I too have once felt that deep-seated, all-consuming, totally abstruse surge of emotion. On Tuesday night, at the Trocadero, The Darkness left me awestruck. Here's the thing: Foxy Shazam, the [...]
