Imagine a gigantic blender specifically made for making concerts. Now, add in some funk, some jazz, some blues. Throw in a heap of strange monologues, and a smidge of screaming. Dice up some strange hair, and tight clothes, and also toss in some rock, and folk and moshing kids of all ages. Now mix it all up... and you still won't have the complete awesomeness that is Foxy Shazam.
Foxy Shazam formed back in 2004 hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio. After a few member changes occurred they are currently up to six members.
- Eric Sean Nally (Vocals)
- Loren Turner (Guitars)
- Daisy (Bass)
- Sky White (Piano/Keyboard)
- Alex Nauth (Horns/Backing Vocals)
- Aaron McVeigh (Drums)
They steadily keep increasing their fame in leaps and bounds creating a great fan base loyal to them, and they love interacting with their fans and the crowd. They were featured this year in the Superbowl commercial with their song Unstoppable.

Longer then the last one and a nice choice of words. You did pretty good with this one. ^_^
Good article, but I'm not going down to covington, ky to see them. I'm not driving several hrs.
might have to just check them out.
See, what irks me about these sorts of bands is how utterly unkempt they tend to be. And even so, this is one of the more egregious examples! I mean honestly, these Shazam guys must have known at least a few days in advance that they would be posing for an album cover. And they can't even be bothered to get a clean shave and a proper haircut?! Just what sort of first impression do they think they're making to the consumers? And those clothes? I don't know if they just came back from a Hawaiian luau or a basketball game, but you'd think their producer would give them time for a shower and to change into some proper attire. Yeah, that's a lot of traveling they'll be doing on this tour, but try to maintain some standards! That someone saw fit to allow their song to play in a Superbowl commercial is a damn miracle. I know if it were me making the decisions in that company's marketing department, I'd have taken one look at the band and turned the other way.
Hi, I'm Daisy indeed!! >:(
