Wiley Red Fox's Last Show for the Year!

 

It's the final countdown to the end of another year. Another year that has slipped through our fingers and twisted and turned away over the horizon - destined to reside only in the ashes of our memories. That's enough puerile prose for this evening - The Wiley Red Foxes have just one last show left for the year and our dearly departed drummer Casey has returned like a prodigal child to join us on the sticks for the evening. We are delighted to be sharing the stage with label mates Charah Jackson and Sinead Beth who is launching her 'Sunshine' Ep - just a little too appropriate for a 40 degree December day.

We hope you can join us at the bar for the year's final hurrah.  ( I'll stop now, I promise.)

Join the FB event! Tell us you're coming! Surprise visits are good too: /https://www.facebook.com/events/250799098428737/

Wiley Red Fox supporting Into The Woods at the Toff

We are very excited to be playing with 'Into The Woods' at the Toff in Town on a Saturday night! Joining us on the bill is Pensive Penguin, you might remember them from our EP Launch back in May.

Things kick off early at the Toff,  doors open at 7:30pm and we start at 8PM SHARP.

Our friend Tom Smeets (from Steering by Stars) is helping us out on the drums for the evening while our drummer Casey is holidaying in Europe... 

We have had lot's of fun practising for this show so please come along :) It's also the perfect excuse to visit cookie for dinner.

EP LAUNCHES THURSDAY 9 May!

We made an EP and we are very, very happy and excited to be launching it at the illustrious OLD BAR with The Taylor Project and Pensive Penguin. This is the gig we've been working towards, the catharsis of of the first EP, the clearing of the air, the way forward into the future! We really hope you can join us! If you want to find out what we're all about - the first song from the ep is available on bandcamp:

Wiley Red Fox (solo/duo) and Rebecca Perkins

While you're waiting for our EP LAUNCH on the 9 May - you can catch Rebecca Perkins and Clemmie Wetherall play solo sets and as a duo at The Retreat on 1 May. A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month and no returns for the year! Although we do hope you'll return for more shows, so we'll make sure they hold back on the battery and assault. Clemmie's warming up the old finger-pickers by brushing off a few old tunes and a few surprise covers in preparation for the evening. Here's a tip off:

First song from our debut EP!

 We did it. We recorded an EP.

But you have to wait until May to hear it.

We are launching it at the OLD BAR. Bless them.

But we couldn't help ourselves, we're too excited.

So here is the first single: I Don't Remember.

Wiley Red Fox play the Cornish Arms

Next show! It's Free! It's at the Cornish Arms! And we are playing with Pensive Penguin (ex-Autumn Leaves members) and Running away with the Circus! Sounds like quite the menagerie... it's a friday night too so there will be all sorts of animals prowling around the Sydney Road precinct...

Wiley Red Fox support Wild Oats

See that there poster above ^

That there is the poster for our next show at the Gasometer. We're supporting the wonderful Wild Oats  from Adelaide for their debut Melbourne performance, with  our labelmates The Ocean Party, and Cat Cat.
WE'RE ON AT 9PM SHARP and it's 7 clams to see four awesome bands with nature related names.
We also have super exciting news to share - we have just finished recording our EP and will be launching it in May -so sit tight while we pull the final pieces together....

First things first

Look at this tiny, tiny poster.

Guess what?

We are playing at the Old Bar!
We are also playing first, so don't drag your feet after work this Friday. Jump on your hover boards and race on down to see our first show for 2013.

We'll see you there kittens =^..^=

The End Days

Hey friends and foes, we are wrapping it up for the year with one last show at The Old Bar in North Fitzroy. Out bass guitarist has eloped overseas so we are going to be down a man, but I'm going to turn my bass volume way up on my amp and I swear you won't know the difference :) We are playing with our pals The Scarlet Ives from Adelaide and local act The Magic Bones, hope you can come on by for one last hurrah before the world ends on my birthday. We have also been recording with Damien Sutton of Bon Scotts infamy, things are sounding awesome (in my unbiased opinion) so let's hope that we survive the Apocalypse so we can launch it sometime early next year.

We are playing at The Old Bar  on the 22nd of October ( I know... again right - I think we officially have a loving and respectful relationship!) we are playing on a Monday evening - but don't let that deter you. We have discovered the miracle cure for Mondayitis and we are willing to share our secret with you if you just come along from 8pm... entry is free!

And I am also making the ultimate sacrifice for you  - I have discovered that Lee Renaldo and Tim Rogers are going to be somewhere in Melbourne in the same room at the same time and although the chances of me actually also getting to be in that room are slim anyway - I have definitively forgone that possibility by staying true to the beloved Old Bar.

We also have some new friends to play with: The Scouts and Mark Anstey - they will be shaking off the cobwebs and shining up their shimmies just for you - so do come along and swing your hips to and fro.

Hey there friends and frenemies - we are playing at this fundraiser show for  3CR 855am on Thursday 27th of September at the The Old Bar. You should totally come, I even included a concession price -  also - there is a DOOR Raffle!
And you will get that nice warm feeling that isn't just the alcohol - it's the satisfaction of knowing you are an awesome person!

Wiley Red Fox at the Evelyn May 31st!

We're thrilled to be playing with "Into the Woods" and "Autumn Gray" at the Evelyn on May 31st - stoked that we're playing on the "right" side of the weekend, which is technically left if you are thinking linear-like...
Anyhoo - you can book tickets through moshtix - as if we were actually a really big popular band or something - and I'm sure there will be some at the door too. Hope you can make it along for a swoony, folk-smithy type evening...

WE'RE BACK~!

That's right, we have our first show as a whole band coming up this Monday at the Old Bar, supporting Mustered Courage. We're on at 8PM sharp! Come after work and grab a cider, beer and pizza!

I'm also playing a solo set with Jon Ashley (formerly of Brer Mouse) next Sunday at Monkey Bar on St Georges Road :)

One for the road...

Super BIG thanks to everyone who has come along to our shows over the last couple of weeks.
We have one more show for this year at the Brunswick Hotel, Sydney Road, VIC.
We're playing super early at 8PM - and I cannot stress this enough - we are playing at 8PM
So why not come after work and share a bevy or two with us!?
In the meantime here are a couple of tracks we've recorded with the whole band (featuring  Mark Curtis - who has sadly returned to little Adelaide - but you can check out his band 'The Warring Sighs')
We also have these tracks up on unearthed so please add a review or a vote - that would be grande!

Andrew P Street - Short and Sweet

Just discovered this great blog by Andrew P Street.
http://www.andrew-p-street.com/
Having already spent the last hour immersing myself in it I'm imaging many, many more hours of immersing to follow. It's got music, it's got videos, it's got opinion, it's got music....
The basic premise is 'Songs you should discover today because they are awesome', so far I agree.

Thanks Andrew!

Upcoming show at the Retreat Hotel - Brunswick

New Songs! - (Finally it's happened to me...)

So the lovely sound engineer Patrick Lockwood   (also of Box Elder), mixed and recorded my show at the Exeter in July. And here is the result, see I even put it into a nifty little player for your convenience.
I hope you enjoy the tunes, I'm sort of getting a band together at the moment so we will  aim to get into a studio in the near future, but in the meantime voila.....
