Bursting from the ether realm called the Über-ViXen Dimension, flame-haired, singing and guitar-playing rock goddess ViX is perhaps best known up until this point as the lead singer/songwriter of all-girl band We’ve got a …Fuzzbox… and we’re gonna use it!! The schoolgirls chanted indie anthem Rules and Regulations as feisty punkettes and evolved into kitsch pop queens, singing songs about Pink Sunshine-iness and International Rescues.
So wide was their appeal that the fuzzchicks achieved the rare feat of appearing on the covers of Smash Hits and NME in the same week. You couldn’t turn on the TV on a Saturday morning back in the late eighties without seeing the gals pouting over your tea and toast, and the charts were well and truly bothered.
Now though, things are different; All fired up after touring the UK and Japan as backing vocalist in Ginger and the Sonic Circus, the foxy ViXen has assembled a bostin all-girl band, ViX n The Kix, comprising Trix, Slix and Chix, to promote her cracking new forthcoming album Moon On A Stick (Autumn 2008 release). Produced by ViX and Neil ‘Thor’ Darbyshire (The Wildhearts, Ginger and the Sonic Circus, Julian Marley), Mark Wallis (Debbie Harry, U2, Razorlight, The Smiths) and with Conny Bloom (Hanoi Rocks, Electric Boys, Sonic Circus) in the executive producer’s seat, this is candy-coated rock ‘n’ roll at it’s tastiest.
Recent gigs include supporting Paul Weller, The Wailers, The Mighty Boosh's Robots In Disguise, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Arrested Development, The Christians plus Jack Daniels and Budweiser international festivals.
