Ep #42 Clayton Brown of Filth Wizard - Grunge/Punk Rock Band from Western Australia

Ep #42 features Clayton Brown from the Western Australian Grunge/Punk Rock band Filth Wizard! 

Filth Wizard were recommended to me by a very recent guest on this show Kym Redmond.  Once I heard Filth Wizard's new track 'Snowflake' with their obvious Grunge influences being right up my alley, I knew I had to get them on the Podcast for a chat.

 

I spoke with lead guitarist Clayton Brown who laid out the bands history and told us about how Covid-19 kind of derailed the release of their current single 'Snowflake' back in March, but as Western Australia gets back into life and live music their song is getting the proper send off into the world as it deserves on August 15th at Lucy's Love shack in Perth.

 

Huge thanks to Clayton for coming on the show, I hope you all enjoy our chat. Once again it's so awesome to be able to reach across to the other side of Australia and chat with a fellow musician about their endevours.

Ep #41 Tomy Thisdale from Canadian band The Carbons

For Episode #41 we continue to break new boundaries here at Foxx on the Wire by "travelling" (via Zoom) to Canada for the first time to speak with Tomy Thisdale of the Groove, Blues, Funk, Reggae Rock ROCK band The Carbons!

 

During our chat you will find out how and why, Tomy and I came to having a good old chat on this Podcast. To be able to connect with someone on the other side of the world in Canada is crazy. Tomy has some great insights and was an absolute pleasure to talk to.

 

His band The Carbons recently released their new single "Superhero" which has almost clocked up 100,000 streams on Spotify.

Check out Tomy's recent cover of Audioslave's tune 'Like a Stone' on YouTube here.

 

"Wanna do the podcast Tomy"? "Sure!" he says. Then we sit down and yarn for 2 hours. I love this Podcast platform it really gives the opportunity to build great relationships and connect with people on a different level - very grateful. One of the main reasons I started this in the first place.

 

Thanks for coming on the show Tomy, and I hope you lovely listeners enjoy this episode please share and subscribe if you do!

Ep #39 Chuck Feltner from Nashville TN. (The White Wolves, Songwriting Duo, Behind the songs & MORE)

Episode #39 features Chuck Feltner from the band The White Wolves all the way from Nashville Tennessee in the beautiful U.S.A! Today's technology is a blessing for reasons such as this where we can speak to each other via Zoom from opposite parts of the world...

Back on episode #26 I spoke with Todd Burman who is also from The White Wolves, now it's time to get the other side of the story from Chuck of the songwriting duo.

Chuck and I cover a range of topics and it was fascinating to hear more about Nashville and it's music scene. Go check out 'I won't be around' by The White Wolves it's a great tune. After our chat with Chuck, it sounds like much more great music is on the way.

Ep #38 Mick Thomas (Roving Commission, Weddings Parties Anything, talking new album, industry biz & MORE)

For Episode #38 I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Aussie Music Legend Mick Thomas of Weddings Parties Anything and Mick Thomas' Roving Commission. We sat in the freezing cold band room of the currently closed venue Merri Creek Tavern in Northcote on a chilly friday night which Mick helps to run. It's been closed for the past few months due to the Coronavirus much like many other venues, and it's sad to see a bar with no beer. 

Although there hasn't been any gigs happening of late, Mick has of course kept himself busy as always. We talk about his new chain song called 'See you when I'm looking at you' and the upcoming album of the same name it features on to be released on June 19th. You can pre-order the album here on Mick's website.

Mick and the Roving Commission are live streaming an album launch on June 21st from the Memo Music Hall. Get your tix at memomusichall.com.au
Show time 8:30PM.

Mick & myself touched on a lot of topics during our one and a half hour chat, and I feel very thankful & grateful to be able to sit down and talk with someone like Mick Thomas. Thanks for your time Mick, thanks everyone for tuning to this episode of the Podcast.

As always, if you enjoy this episode please share it around. I also have a Foxx on the Wire Spotify Playlist of all the guests I've had on the show it's a great mix of tunes!

Until next time,

Ep #35 Little Richard - Tribute to THE King of Rock N' Roll

For Episode #35 I pay tribute to the one the only, Little Richard the man who helped define the early rock 'n' roll era of the 1950s with his driving flamboyant sound & look. 

I was watching the movie Green Book over the past weekend which featured Little Richard on the soundtrack and who's name was dropped throughout the movie, the next morning I woke up and news came through Little Richard had passed away after his battle with bone cancer. 

This is the first episode of Foxx on the Wire which does not feature a guest, I've been wanting to do more episodes where I just talk about music and artists specifically. Admittedly I didn't know much about Little Richard aside from the fact he was a huge influence on a lot of my favourite bands, so I thought this was a good opportunity to learn more about him whilst paying tribute to him at the same time.

I hope you enjoy this episode & it inspires you to delve into the life and career of Little Richard. Here is the YouTube link to Little Richard inducting Otis Redding into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it! Little Richard Inducts Otis Redding into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Thanks for listening, I'll be back again soon with another episode of Foxx on the Wire!

Ep #34 Michelangelo (hip hop, new single, producing, beats, social media)

Admittedly I was a bit nervous about this one. What am I going to talk to a hip hop artist about? I'm from a totally different genre. To my surprise and to the credit of these great things called the almighty "Podcast", my guest Michelangelo and I had a fascinating chat.

In what has been a rough start to 2020 for all of us, but Michelangelo has already released 2 new songs "Self" and "N2Ostalgia" with more to come. At the end of this episode we get an exclusive sneak peek and Michelangelo's yet to be released new single "More". Check out his tunes on Spotify

We covered a range of topics during our chat including self doubt and development, making beats, producing, navigating and building our social media accounts, hip hop, rap, spotify, song writing and much more.

I really enjoyed chatting with Michelangelo, it showed me two guys from different genres really can relate on many different levels. I was stoked to get him on the show, we hope you all enjoy our chat. Please share if you do! 

Follow Michelangelo on Instagram.

Until the next episode take care and stay safe!

Ep #33 Bailey Slade (Cabin Fever Fest Instagram livestream festival, Past Present, Songwriting)

Bailey Slade is my special guest on Episode #33 of Foxx on the Wire!
