#86 Josh Durno from Tassie trio 'The Sketches'!
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Happy New Year folks! Welcome to 2024!
We're starting off this year with a great friend of mine Josh Durno from the Tassie 3-piece 'The Sketches'!
It's almost been 4 years to the day since Josh was first on the podcast, way back in Jan of 2020. Josh made his way up to Victoria from his beautiful home state of Tasmania for a bit of a holiday, so I thought I'd get him on the show in person. This is actually the first in-person chat on the podcast for a while.
Josh is always fascinating to chat with, it was so good to see him again. I thank him for his time and incredible insights on a range of topics.

WARBIRDS have just released their latest single 'Bring Back Your Love' and are about to head off overseas on a UK tour! If you dig this episode and what they are doing, please consider chipping in and helping them out while they are in the U.K here in their Pozible Campaign.

An Australian rock power trio who have been about the scene for the last few years. The band is best described as playing Hard Rock blending heavy groove based riffs with melodic rock melodies. Executed with enough precision, balls and musicianship to mix it up with four and five piece outfits.
It was a pleasure to chat with Anth and Luciano. I was lucky enough to catch their live show a few weeks ago at the Tote in Melbourne and they KILLED it.

#84 Metallica ’St Anger’ 20 Years on... With Jörg aka Riff_Madness
Monday Sep 18, 2023
Monday Sep 18, 2023
Hello my friends!!!
I'm so sorry it's been a few months since the last episode! Things have been very busy and I've had to focus the little spare time I have, entirely on music.
But I'm happy to be back with you here for episode #84 where we have our very special guest Jörg aka @Riff_Madness on Instagram, back on the show to discuss Metallica's 'St Anger' album 20 years on from it's release!
No, it's not everyone's favorite Metallica album. But as we discuss in this episode, it's a very necessary Metallica album. It was very interesting looking back on this album. I initially bought this album when it first came out in 2003 but have rarely revisited it since. It was fresh to me all over again.
It was great to catch up once again with Jörg who is based in Germany, we both love our Metallica and he was lucky enough to see them live recently and gives us a rundown on his experience at the show.

Hey folks, welcome to episode number 82 of Foxx on the Wire with our special guess Vanessa Valentine!
Now THIS is an episode I've been looking forward to for a while. I've been aiming to try and get Vanessa on the podcast for a while and I finally got up the courage to ask. What's that saying, you won't know until you ask, right?
In her own words Vanessa is an independent musician, ex heroin addict/thug, an adult human female, animal and women's right campaigner. And if I could add to that, she was front-woman of one of my favorite bands a decade ago called 'Valentiine'.
We always aim to have honest conversations on this podcast, and that's exactly what this episode is.
Check out Vanessa's music over at her Bandamp if you haven't heard her tunes you're gonna love them.
Don't forget to follow and subscribe to Foxx on the Wire on all the platforms so you don't miss any new episodes. Thank you to Vanessa for coming on the podcast, I look forward to having her on again in the future.

#79 ASHLEY NAYLOR (EVEN) reflects on guitar virtuoso & English rock titan, JEFF BECK.
Wednesday Feb 01, 2023
Wednesday Feb 01, 2023
Hello my friends, coming to you today with a very special episode. I was lucky enough to catch up briefly with one of our favorites on this show, Ashley Naylor while he is out on tour with Australian legendary singer-songwriter Paul Kelly.
Hearing about the sad passing of Jeff Beck back on January 10th I knew straight away that I wanted to pay tribute to him on this podcast.
I thought who better to help me do this than Ashley Naylor who is one of Australia's most accomplished guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. Whether you know him from Melbourne Rock trio EVEN, Marshmellow Overcoat, or maybe you have seen him play guitar with Paul Kelly, Bob Evans, The Church, or in the Rockwiz house band, The Ronson Hangup and many more.
No doubt Jeff Beck is one of the electric guitar's most prolific innovators, and with a career as sprawling as his we could have easily recorded a massive episode.
I want to thank Ashley for his time and insight on this episode. It's always a pleasure having him on Foxx on the Wire. And, thank you Jeff Beck for an amazing career and always pushing the limits on the guitar and being such an innovator - RIP.
I hope you all enjoyed this episode check out the video version here at Foxx on the Wire YouTube Channel.
See you again soon.

Welcome to 2023 my friends I'm starting the year off with a BANG!
The first episode of the Podcast for 2023 we ZOOM across the oceans and battle the time-zones to speak with Hungarian Guitarist Attila Voros! Over the years he's toured with NEVERMORE (US), SATYRICON (NO), SANCTUARY (US), TYR (FAO) Currently playing w/: Vulgar Display Of Cover PANTERA TRIBUTE / Strength Of Will (passive).
I describe in this episode how I first came across Attila and his awesome YouTube Channel Attila Voros Official.
If you're a Pantera fan, a heavy metal fan or if your a guitarist yourself or just love to watch a great guitarist in action, I highly recommend checking out his YouTube Channel. It's awesome.
