Introducing.....


Have you ever what it would sound like if James Brown made a Cabaret band with the Dillinger Escape Plan?  Well if you have, definitely check out Cincinnati, Ohios'  Foxy Shazam.  Known for setting themselves apart from most bands, this band definitely brings it to you whether on cd or in front of your face.  Singer Eric Sean Nally has been known for his James Brown-like acrobatics on stage and having the same intensity as Dillingers Greg Puciato, minus being 95% biceps.  Also he has being seen eating cigs on stage as part of the performance and has been noted as not just doing coke, but doing all the coke(rumor).  Foxy released their sophmore album, "Introducing...." which is an interesting blend of hardcore, cabaret, and funk(some of the funkiest breakdowns i must say).  Two songs i would recommend from this cd are Introducing... and Dangerous Man (which has been their debut music video as well).  If your interested in their older stuff, check out their debut album, Flamingo Trigger and listen to No. Dont Shoot.  At times some of their songs leave you thinking,  "uhhh why did they do that", but all in all they are worth checking out.
