Band trio set to return for a hometown gig

The Chichester and Bognor-based trio have been busy spreading their music to fans around the south.

Their recent appearances have been in Southampton, Portsmouth and London but they are looking forward to returning to the hometown of bass player Steven Galloway on Saturday.

The band '“ completed by singer and guitarist Andy Morris and drummer Laura Padfield '“ have been gigging for just over a year. They will be armed with several new songs for their performance at The Railway on London Road.

Laura said: 'We all write songs together and are looking forward to playing the new material live.'

Formed years after the band members first met at a party, the BlackFox sound has been likened to both Pink Floyd and David Bowie, with hints of the Pixies and Blur.

The band aim to mix the musical diversity of Muse and Pink Floyd with the punk ethos of the Clash.

Andy said: 'Our last bands split up at about the same time and we all decided we wanted to keep on playing and writing.

'The new songs came together quite easily, and we always look to do something original and challenging.'

Steven added: 'The Railway should be a good night, and it's great to have another venue in Bognor supporting new music.'

BlackFox's music can be heard on the www.myspace.com/

blackfoxband website.

Support at The Railway comes from the Fareham-based band Half-Light. Entry is free and the entertainment starts at 8pm.
