Meet Philadelphia’s own Vixen 77, MMR’s Local Shots Artist of the Month.
This band describes their music as “a bona fide punch in the face.”
Vixen 77 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. A five-piece all-women band. The name Vixen 77 is a reference to woman energy and the musical influence of late-seventies 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. Seventy-two 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.
