ROXYRAMA
What’s the date again? (it’s so dark in here) 1972 or forty years later?....
'Roxyrama' is a band formed in tribute to the great Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music based in the north of England. A group of accomplished and experienced musicians with an incredibly authentic ’Bryan Ferry‘, the band also dedicate themselves to recreating the innovative work of Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay, Paul Thompson, Brian Eno & Eddie Jobson, as well as all time great bass players like Graham Simpson, John Gustafson, John Wetton, Gary Tibbs, Alan Spenner and Marcus Miller. 'Roxyrama' faithfully recreate the sounds and visuals of this timeless, classic band encompassing the early more 'hard edged' Roxy sound as well as embracing their latter more melodic material, playing classic songs from Virginia Plain to Slave to Love, and Love is the Drug to Jealous Guy. ‘Roxyrama’ consists of 6 highly skilled and experienced artistes; The individual components of Roxy Music came from a diverse background and ‘Roxyrama’ successfully repeats the musical experiment combining classically trained, virtuoso sax and keyboard players alongside a cutting edge guitarist, a rock solid bass player and a power house drummer. Roxyrama have over two hours of repertoire to draw upon including every Roxy Music single, all of Bryan Ferry’s top ten singles and for the aficionados some choice album cuts from the early years.
