“People ask me, ‘where is rock ‘n roll these days?’ The very words stated at the New York showcase presented by Billboard Magazine’s Executive Editor signifies what DOOMFOXX is all about: Pure Rock ‘n’ Roll. From the pubs of inner Sydney to the world’s festival stages and European concert halls, Stuart McKie, Dave Thomas, Archi Read & Jase Burec, DOOMFOXX, are forging their name internationally. Former lead singer of The Darkness, Justin Hawkins says of DOOMFOXX “the best rock ‘n’ roll band going around” high praise for the Aussie rockers who opened for his band on their March – May European tour ‘06. In 2005, DOOMFOXX ventured to Germany to tour with Aussie rock legends Rose Tattoo on a two month tour that was to herald the arrival of another great Aussie rock ‘n’ roll band. Comparisons to AC/DC and the Tatts were prominent, but with the enigmatic, supremely powerhouse vocals and stage presence of front-man Stuart McKie, DOOMFOXX in its own right was quickly carving out its own reputation. The European tour culminated in an unprecedented 5 performances at the prestige Wacken Open Air Festival, with a final night showcase in front of 60,000 fans saluting their new-found Aussie rock Gods. Their self-titled debut album, produced by legendary Australian and ARIA award winner, Peter Blyton (Choirboys, Divynls, Australian Crawl) achieved both public and critical acclaim in its release in Europe in October 05, with influential and respected rock journalist, Jeurgen Tschamler calling it “…the rock album of the year. 12/12. Simply outstanding”. 2006 was followed up with an equally impressive tour opening for The Darkness and playing to 50,000 people in 9 shows across Europe to huge acclaim and only re-affirmed that DOOMFOXX was staking their claim. In July 2008, DOOMFOXX will tour the West Coast of the USA playing club gigs in LA, Las Vegas, San Diego & San Francisco. The highlight is an industry showcase performance with a VIP exclusive invite, presented by the legendary Viper Room in Hollywood. CA. on Wednesday July 30. Whatever you do this summer, don’t miss seeing DOOMFOXX live. You won’t be disappointed having a Night on The Lash with these boys. |
