On April 29, the band held their Official Album Launch at Melbourne’s infamous Cherry Bar. They had a confirmed 310 tickets sold for the show making it officially the third highest selling event in the venue’s history!
Melbourne rock and roll merchants Darcee Fox have just released their long-awaited debut album “Islands“.
Melbourne has always been the spiritual home of Australian rock and roll. While it falls in and out of favour with the ebb and flow of what’s cool right now, it never ever goes away.
The last few years have seen a major resurgence in fuel injected, bluesy, rock ’n’roll and Darcee Fox have flicked their cigarettes directly onto the flames.
Forming in 2010 and drawing influence from legendary artists such as Led Zeppelin, Guns n’ Roses, David Bowie & The Rolling Stones, Darcee Fox has become a respected and revered live act within the local Melbourne Rock scene.
Releasing their “Snakebite” EP in 2012, the band worked hard to put themselves in front of as many people as possible, playing almost every live venue in town and opening for Everclear in front of a sell-out crowd.
Work on their debut full length began in 2015 and was finally completed in December 2016 with Producer Ricki Rae from Lighthill Studios at the helm.
Capturing the band’s raw spirit as he did with Australian Classic Rock powerhouse, “Electric Mary”.

Both tracks were picked up by Triple M which lead to ever more people catching the Fox live and both songs feature on Islands.
“Islands” is the sum of its parts. Big riffs, bigger drums, soaring vocal melodies, bleeding solos and foot on the foldback swagger.
Darcee Fox is best experienced live and they’ll be taking Islands across our island over the coming months.
