ViX, the Kix and bearded Chix! (?!)
.... It has to be Moseley Fesitval 2007!
The 2nd weekend of August finally saw for the much anticipated and
rescheduled Moseley Festival.
Originally postponed due to bad weather the occasion could not have seen a further contrast from the intended passed. This time the sun was shining, bands were playing to an impressive turnout who were happily drinking and eating the 2-day affair away whilst indulging in some of the finest new musical talent about!
A key attraction and one of the groups to be closing the festival were of course "ViX n the Kix". The brilliant Birmingham-based girls, ViX, Louise, Bexx and... their er... token man in a dress (?!?) - more about that in a bit! - were on fine form belting out future hits from ViX's forthcoming album "Moon On A Stick" and of course Indie anthem and Fuzzbox fave "Rules 'n' Regulations"! ViX held the crowd throughout with her kooky tales and had them pleading for an encore that scheduling sadly wouldn't allow.
The occasion also allowed for those who attended a quick glimpse of the group's new guitarist who in good fashion was ousted out of the crowd by ViX to give a wave and make it known she was a 'Kix' in the making! For this performance however, bearded lady, Neil 'Thor' Darbyshire, affectionately monikered Wendy 'the hula gal' by ViX, had been drafted in to take lead on guitar and loved indulging in every moment. But was it the music or the dressing up? You decide!
The rock chicks now have just one more date left on their current Midlands tour, but with a new guitarist, an imminent debut single and promo video, a full length album and full National tour on the horizon, as well as one or two more surprises still to come, the future is looking very exciting for them indeed!
They still have a limited edition range of tour merchandise available, including posters, badges and signed CD's, which can now be purchased online through www.myspace.com/vixvixvix
