The quintet hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, where bandmates Eric Nally (vocals), Loren Turner (guitar), Daisy (bass), Sky White (piano), and Joe Halberstadt (drums) first joined forces in 2004. The album was originally titled Au Contraire and also their debut major label release.
It was released on April 13, 2010, by Sire Records. “Evil Thoughts” allows Nally an extended moment of faux-confession over pianist Sky White’s piano flourishes. Foxy Shazam’s music is an unhinged, maniacal mix of piano, guitar, howling vocals, double-kickdrum percussion, and rock & roll theatrics. Foxy Shazam is the third studio album by rock band Foxy Shazam. “Bye Bye Symphony” captures Foxy Shazam at their most expansive, packing in a suite’s worth of ideas into 4:04 minutes. Clearly, the spirit of Queen hovers over such brazen effusions as “Oh Lord,” “Unstoppable” and “The Only Way to My Heart…” But Nally and his crew have found new ways to tease and tweak their listeners as well - “Wanna-Be Angel,” for instance, is a personal manifesto of defiance addressed to the tastemakers of the current rock scene. After forming the band immediately recorded The Flamingo Trigger independently then committed to an extensive national touring regimen. The band consists of lead vocalist Eric Nally, guitarist Loren Turner, pianist Sky White and bass player Daisy. Singer Eric Nally fully embraces the Freddie Mercury school of operatic projection, with hints of Dee Snider-style hysteria thrown in. Foxy Shazam is an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, formed in 2004. On their self-titled major label debut, the Cincinnati-based quintet constructs tunes heavy on bone-shaking beats, florid guitar licks and flashy keyboard tickling. The joyfully overblown music of Foxy Shazam scales heights of pomp-rock excess rarely ascended since the heyday of Queen.
