Foxy Shazam at Sound Academy – June 5, 2011

Photos by Stephen McGill and Review by Taylor Luftig

If being told over and over again to listen to Foxy Shazam wasn’t enough to convince me to do so, seeing their live show confirmed how addictive their outrageous sound can be. Although their set leaned towards a darker sound than their tour counterparts, Foxy did just what they came to do, entertain. With a closing remark from lead singer Eric Nally while the rest of the band played their instruments like it was the last time they would grace a stage, the crowd was encouraged to go home and tell their parents what they saw tonight. From their wild stage antics to blasting horns, resembling Queen on crack (in the best way possible), and reminders of what rock n’ roll used to look like, Foxy Shazam’s high-level energy live show is a must-see.
