Local Shots Artist of the Month Vixen77
Sadly, it’s our last Wednesday with the ladies in Vixen77, MMR’s Local Shots Artist of the Month for September.
But what a September it was! Not only did we get to world premier their brand-new track “Fast Lane,” but the ladies in Vixen77 also absolutely crushed it as the opener of this year’s MMR*B*Q.
Make sure you check out and follow Samantha Joan, Sarah, Caitlin, Jaz & Liz on social media @Vixen77Official for the latest on what they are up to and any live shows and music that may be on the horizon.
In fact, Vixen77 lead vocalist, Samantha Joan, will be in Delco this weekend performing at Yachtstock River Jam 2023, celebrating their 25th anniversary rocking the river at the West End Boat Club in Essington, PA.
Samantha will be joining her good friend, fellow Delco native and Nashville recording artist Sara Spicer during her headlining set on Saturday, September 30. The event runs from 11am-9pm featuring two stages and 22 stellar bands, including legendary Philadelphia and Jersey Shore rocker Mike LeCompt and his band.
Tune in to WMMR today at 6:30pm for one more rocking spin of Vixen77’s brand-new tune “Fast Lane”!
Meet MMR’s Local Shots Artist of the Month Vixen77
This band also describes their music as “a bona fide punch in the face.”
Vixen77 is the creation of guitarist, Caitlin, who dreamt of playing in an all-lady rock band since high school. She had been playing the Philly punk scene for a few years when she decided to put her dream in motion.
In late 2018, the band was formed. It’s a five-piece, all-women band. The name Vixen 77 is a reference to woman energy and the musical influence of late 70s punk.
In a few short months, they were opening for Cherie Currie of The Runaways. In March of 2019, they began pre-production and tracking of their full-length debut album.
Original members Caitlin, bassist Jaz, and guitarist Liz enlisted the services of Sarah Novack on drums and Samantha Joan on vocals.
The band, once again, went into the studio. They recorded their upcoming album, Easy Access, over the course of three days. 72 hours later, they had twelve bangers ready to release into the world. They returned to the stage in January of 2022. They’ve been playing to packed rooms around the Philly area as headliners since they’ve reemerged from the Pandemic.
Rock ‘n’ Roll should be loud, aggressive, fun, and rebellious. That’s exactly what they look to bring to the world. Buckle up.
