Foxy Shazam is an old fashioned rock band that puts on an incredible live show. They have a modern sound, but the appearance and stage presence of an 80s hair band. I have seen them live on several occasions and their lead singer, Eric Nally, reminds me of Freddie Mercury. He has a tremendous stage presence and his voice is about ten times larger than his body. He is soft-spoken when he speaks between songs, but he turns into a giant when he sings. He can hit high notes that I did not even know existed. When I saw them the stages were not elaborately decorated, but the band relied in colorful costumes, fog, and lights to create an amazing visual performance, to compliment their excellent music.
I last saw them touring with the Darkness last year and they were a perfect pair. Foxy Shazam is glam rock, just Queen, the Strokes, and the Darkness, and fans of over the top rock and roll will love them. They performed a lot of new material but also made sure to go back and revisit some of their older songs, like “Oh, Lord,” “A Dangerous Man,” and, my personal favorite, “Unstoppable.” The crowd was involved during the entire show, dancing, singing, and generally having a blast. Foxy Shazam is sure to deliver a high energy show and any fan of rock and roll will have a blast at one of their shows.
