Friends. What are they good for? Buying you beer, taking you to the footy, telling you about great music and the bands that make it. And a band needs friends too... even Doomfoxx.

You know, they get lonely out there on the road. Some people think that they have A ROCKIN' GREAT TIME, chuggin' up there on the stage, blasting their songs out to the greatest fans in the world, kickin' back afterwards and enjoying a few bottles of JD and Mescal with a few burritos, all the time travelling the wide world, but hey you know it can be cold in the backrooms and byways of the Desert Inns of the world, the chilly wind blowing, the lonesome howl of the timber wolf cutting through the night air, the sound of the raucous truckers playing yet another Dolly Parton song on the jukebox.

That's why Doomfoxx NEEDS some friends. So what they're doing is setting up a FRIENDS sign up page on this here website, and they're going to get you to sign up and BE THEIR FRIEND (not like the others...). And in return, they'll be YOUR FRIENDS and they'll probably share lots of things with you,, like friends do. Sound good? Then keep checking back and they'll let you know when you can be their FRIEND.

Oh, and by the way, don't worry about the strange writing. That's just me - I've drunk too much Mescal and eaten too many burritos off those taco trucks in LA and I need to fill this page up with words. So there.

Stuart McKie

Stuart McKie

Stu McKieStuart McKie, born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, emigrated to Perth, Western Australia at a young age, but holds his Scottish roots close to his heart. Singing in pubs and clubs, he was belting out tunes by the Faces and the Rolling Stones, his passion and power is undeniable, now with a reputation as one of the best front-men in the business.

Stuart hooked up with drummer Jase Burec in Sydney forming Circle and with ex-pat Sydney muso Dave Thomas in New York started another musical collaboration along with Burec creating the nucleus of Doomfoxx. Ask Stuart what Doomfoxx is like? With a cheeky smile he'll say, "It's like Formula One racing in the dark".

Dave Thomas

Dave Thomas

DaveDave Thomas, one of the twin-towers of rock, had been playing in several local bands before deciding to try his luck overseas and he met McKie in New York club named Scrap Bar.

An immediate bond was formed and Dave, originally from Brooklyn, not the New York borough, but a haven an hour north of Sydney on the Hawkesbury river estuary, was exposed to 60s soul music and rock ‘n’ roll and at 6’4’’ holds an impressive stature and plays a damn-fine Gretsch White Falcon, when not riffing away on a custom Les Paul.

Woody Greenwood

Woody Greenwood

WoodieThe newest member of this rocking quintet, Woody became aware that Doomfoxx were looking for new guitarist and made contact via Doomfoxx’s My Space site. An audition soon followed and when Woody walked into the rehearsal room and started playing the songs note perfect, the boys knew instinctively they had their man.

Woody had been playing with the Volts, an inner Sydney band and was well aware of Doomfoxx “I was a fan of the band” he said, “So it is an amazing opportunity to be part of it now”. Part of it he is and Woody wails away on his Firebird creating the twin guitar attack with Dave Thomas.

Archi Read

Archi Read

Archi Read Archi, from Sydney’s North Shore only picked up a bass guitar in his late teens and with some school friends he formed the glam rock band Hell City Glamours and quickly developed a solid live following and was soon the most talked about bass player around town.

The second half of the twin-towers of rock, Archi’s stature, both physical and musical is not to be denied. With Burec he completes what is a formidable rhythm section and his full-on attack and energetic live performance is testament to his passion and belief in what he does.

Jase Burec

Jase Burec

Jase BurecThe engine room controller, Jase hails from the outer suburbs of Sydney and all he wanted to do since he was 9 years old is play drums in a rock ‘n’ roll band. Quietly spoken, with a charming smile, it’s the thunder on the stage that defines Jase and sets up the driving platform for Doomfoxx.

Forming Circle with McKie, the close bond between the two, like brothers, is easily recognised and while the flamboyance of front-man McKie captures the eye, it’s the solid rock beat of Burec and his undeniable commitment to his craft that secures his status.
