This will mark tHe fiftH major European tour on wHicH the band Has embarked. Dates begin September 20 in Prague, CzecH Republic. A week prior to tHe tour, FOXY releases tHe X- Ray Spex Tribute and Can’t Stop Us EPs on September 13. BotH titles are available for pre-order HERE. The current lineup of FOXY comprises vocalist/guitarist Lisa Parker-Meredith (4-Gazm), guitarist/vocalist Greg Antista (Greg Antista & THe Lonely Streets, Joyride), bassist Stu West (The Damned, English Dogs), and drummer RicHie Mendez (The Pushers). Formed by Parker-Meredith and Antista in Fullerton, CA, in 1999, FOXY originally included longtime Social Distortion bassist JoHn Maurer. Maurer appears on tHe band’s self-titled 1999 debut EP and He produced tHe band’s sole album, 2001’s Stay Foxy Por Vida. After recording and touring consistently from 1999-2002, FOXY went on Hiatus.

FOXY was so thrilled to see that the old chemistry was intact tHat tHey booked dates for a 2018 European tour and recorded a second EP, Can’t Stop Us. “I’d say we’re as relevant now as we were 15 years ago,” says Parker-Meredith. “PerHaps even more so because more women are part of tHe scene now, and tHe men are closer to being on the same page as well. The men I surround myself witH in music and life Have tons of admiration and respect for women. TogetHer we are stronger, togetHer we make a difference. The bottom line witH this band is that FOXY is family. And tHe people we play for are part of that family. THat’s the message we carry across the globe to every sHow we play, wHetHer it’s to 30 people or 3,000.” “Oh Bondage!” European Tour: September 20: Prague, CzecH Republic — Klub Vagon / INFO 21: Karlovy Vary, CzecH Republic — SlasH Bar / INFO 23: Ústí Nad Labem, CzecH Republic — Exil / INFO 24: Česká Třebová, CzecH Republic — Modrý Trpaslík / INFO 25: Bohulslavice, CzecH Republic — Noise Bar / INFO 26: WemelskircHen, Germany — AJZ BaHndamm / INFO 27: Jena, Germany — The Rosenkeller / INFO 28: Berlin, Germany — Wild At Heart (witH THe Lurkers) / INFO 29: TBD / check www.foxybandusa.com for updates 30: Ninove, Belgium — Gonzo / INFO October 2.

It was saying ‘Bondage — forget it!’ I’m not going to be bound by the laws of consumerism or bound by my own senses.” Released by Virgin Records in 1977, tHe single failed to make tHe UK pop charts but over tHe years has gained stature as a fiery ‘call to arms’ for punks, protesters, feminists, and the 1990s Riot grrrl scene. FOXY’s Parker-Meredith explains “I’ve been listening to X-Ray Spex since my early teens. WHen our band was contacted by Mike Bennett (producer of tHe 2014 X-Ray Spex tribute album The Day the World Turned Day-Glo) we were super excited. Mike is also working on a video for the ‘I’m a ClicHé’/’OH Bondage Up Yours!’ masHup wHicH appears on tHe EP.” In addition to His work witH tHe X-Ray Spex catalog, Bennett Has produced records by THe Fall, Ian Brown, THe Popes featuring SHane MacGowan, and many otHers.

But for tHis EP, I was so busy with family that I asked Greg if He could take the lead. I have complete confidence in Greg — he’s an amazing songwriter and my soulmate in all things FOXY. Can’t Stop Us also marks tHe first time Stu has been involved in the writing process.” The Can’t Stop Us sessions were produced and engineered by Jim Monroe at The Racket Room. Also present in tHe studio, tragically, for the last time, was Antista’s longtime friend and former bandmate, Steve Soto (Agent Orange, Adolescents).

  • THE BONES Are Back in the Ring with Another Swing! Is It Really Already
    THE BONES are back in the ring with another swing! Is it really already five years ago since Sweden’s finest Punk’n’Roll outfit took over our stereos with „Burnout Boulevard“? Apparently it is, but the good news is: the wait is over. On „Monkeys With Guns“, the fifth studio album in their enduring career, THE BONES are back blazing with 15 (17 on the Limited Edition and LP) blistering, hard hitting new tracks of perfect Punk’n’Roll marriage material made in hell. In our case, hell is a lovely little harbour-town called Karlskrona in the Southwest of Sweden. That’s where it all started out for THE BONES back in 1993. Back then singer/guitarist Beef Bonanza, along with his brother Spooky Fred and bassist Dollar Ace, were working on their first demos, which already included soon-to-be-classics like ‘I Met Elvis At The Nudybar’ and ‘Monsters Prefer Blondes’. When singer/guitar-slinger Marcus „Boner“ Petersson entered the picture in 1996 things began to speed up. Sharing a mutual love for high energetic punk and rock music in the vein of The Ramones and Motörhead and 50s and 60s rock’n’roll, THE BONES were always influenced by the melodic qualities of bands such as The Bay City Rollers and The Barracudas as well. After self-releasing „The Horrorway EP“ in 1997 german punk rock label I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison Records caught an eye on the ear-catching qualities of THE BONES. Following two more EPs, „Rock n' Roll Race“ and „Six Feet Down, Two Fingers Up“ the swedes finally released their adeptly titled debut album „Screwed, Blued & Tattooed“ in 2000 to critical acclaim.

The tight editing of "Along The Way" showed multiple Infirmity Blog camera angles from multiple shows, but all synched perfectly to one live audio track; if you didn't notice the stages changing or the differen t-shirts on the band members, you would not have noticed it wasn't one seamlessly edited performance. The same can be said for "The Best Of GG Allin and The Murder Junkies", where gems from GG's early career like "Bite It You Scum" and "I Wanna Rape You" are performed live alongside his later MJ material like "Kill The Police" and "Look Into My Eyes & Hate Me" to a seamless if fuzzy live audio track, while the edited images of the songs being performed can include footage from 6 or so live shows.

  • Icon Patti Smith Headlines Latest Batch of Azkena Rock Festival 2020
    Icon Patti Smith headlines latest batch of Azkena Rock Festival 2020 confirmations L7, Reverend Horton Heat, and The Steepwater Band choose the festival as their only stop in our country Booking open for campground plots and shuttle services for next 19th and 20th of June at Mendizabala, Vitoria-Gasteiz Symbol of feminism and the intellectualism of New York punk rock, the iconic Patti Smith headlines the new influx of names to the roster of the rock and roll festival par excellence: the Azkena Rock Festival, celebrating its 19th edition on the 19th and 20th of June, 2020, at Mendizabala, Vitoria-Gasteiz. American singer, composer, and author Patti Smith is considered one of the greatest shapers of New York punk. A poetess first, she fused rock and poetry in a style that made its mark on an entire generation and imbrued punk music with feminism and intellectualism. Her most popular song, “Because the Night”, co-written with Bruce Springsteen, is an anthem of the 20th century. Her identity as a political and environmental activist and poetess has always been inextricably intertwined with her music, and ever since her 1975 debut Horses at the outbreak of punk she hasn’t stopped bringing her honest and uncompromising attitude to audiences the world over. Now a cultural reference for all ensuing generations, the “godmother of punk” is coming to Azkena Rock Festival to get us singing along to the tunes of her eleven studio albums in an exercise in freedom and its uninhibited expression. Also joining the bill are Californians L7, legends of grunge and punk rock, who after announcing their first album in 20 years, Scatter the Rats, which sees them staying true to their essence with a more powerpop vibe, have chosen Azkena as their only Spanish date.

Formados en 2015, los VANDOLIERS son la banda del cantante y guitarrista JOSHUA FLEMING, Dustin Fleming (no, no son parientes) a la otra guitarra, el bajista Mark Moncrieff, el batería Guyton Sanders, el violinista Travis Curry, y el multi instrumentista Cory Graves. Sus primeros dos álbumes "Ameri-Kinda" (2016) y The Native (2017) vieron la luz en el sello State Fair Records y el nuevo, titulado “Vandoliers Forever", lo hace ya para la etiqueta de Chicago BLOODSHOT RECORDS. “Vandoliers Forever” está producido por Adam Hill en los legendarios American Studios de Memphis. Siendo su paisano RHETT MILLER uno de sus mentores, no es difícil imaginar que la banda de este, los OLD 97's, es uno de los referentes de los Vandoliers, como también lo son bandas de rock "countrificado" de hace treinta años como JASON & THE SCORCHERS, o TRUE BELIEVERS, y otras más rockeras tipo SOCIAL DISTORTION y hasta THE CLASH.
