Foxface are: Michael Angus (Guitar/Vocals), Jenny Bell (Bass/Vocals) & John Ferguson (Drums/ Accordian/Banjo/Mandolin), a three-piece band based in Glasgow, Scotland. They released a self-funded debut 7” Monster Seas/Across To Texa in April 2006, contributed a track to Chemikal Underground Records’ critically applauded ‘Ballads Of The Book’ compilation in 2007, and a debut album ‘This Is What Makes Us’ (Gargleblast), later that year.
They have toured supporting Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble, as well as appearing at the Isle of Skye, Greenman, Indian Summer and Belladrum Festivals. Their live performances have become legendary in Scotland, a menagerie of eclectic instrumentation and eccentric costume giving them an air of the otherworldly, one where folk heritage blends with modern rock and roll. Foxface have played Limbo once, in January 2008.
“Sons & Daughters devotees will go weak at the knees for Foxface, and rightly so. Utterly divine.” (The List)
“Foxface are a Glasgow three-piece with an ear for melodies that contrast shadows and light, and an eye for the fancifully surreal (their gigs are often riots of colour, with models and props adorning the stage, not to mention a drummer sporting a vulpine mask). The band have skirted the margins between genres for a few years and their sound is, by turns, spooked and stirring. An eldritch weirdness gives this album a sinister, nervous purpose, and makes it hard to avoid falling under it’s spell.” (Sunday Herald)
