Jesus H. Foxx are a seven-piece band from Edinburgh. ey have two drummers, three quitarists, one bassist and a partidge in a pear tree (a cornet player who sometimes plays a glockenspiel). They all sing a bit.
Initially starting off as a four-piece, they were born in the Summer of 2007 from the wreckage of several other bands you’ve probably never heard of. After acquiring a fifth member, Jesus H. Foxx went on to release a 7″ entitled ‘Tightt Ideas’ on Glasgow label Broken Friend Records, and since then they have grown in size as well as popularity.
In the past Jesus H. Foxx have been compared to the likes of Pavement and Deerhoof, but after recent changes in style and personnel, are now being compared to the likes of Architecture in Helsinki and Broken Social Scene.
