Pocket Fox

So I’ve been told to revive the Unearthed Reviews from wherever forgotten internet features reside. Apparently Pocket Fox were next on the list to be reviewed so it falls to me to spend this morning listening to their songs on Unearthed, while staring out the window at the beautiful weather today and feeling pretty good about myself.

Full disclosure: I LOVE POCKET FOX.

Here is what they have to say about themselves:

Barely squeezing onto most stages, Pocket Fox is a feast for your ears. There are tunes to dance to, stories to laugh and cry to, and they’re also pretty good looking.

Here is what I have to say about them:

Pocket Fox are another reason why I love the music scene in Canberra. There seems to be a never ending supply of bright and talented musicians in this town willing to make something fun and charming. Pocket Fox fills a hole in my heart I never knew was there until I head them. They play the musical equivalent of fruit cake, sweet but not painfully so.

Full disclosure: I LOVE FRUIT CAKE.

So go, click on the Unearthed link, listen to Swedish Song first. Tap your foot. Then listen to the rest. Then have some fruit cake.

Full disclosure: I DON’T KNOW HOW TO REVIEW MUSIC, BUT I REALLY LIKE POCKET FOX.

Five Stars.

Eep!

Well, the way to a Man’s heart is through his stomach.

‘Pocket Fox fills a hole in my heart I never new was there until I head them…’

Eep!

About 18 months ago I was scanning the FM Dial on the way home from work and this fantastic song came up. I sat there enthralled, then they played a second song by the same band which was equally good.

Turned out I was listening to Local ‘n’ Live on 2XX 98.3 and the first song was The Swedish Song, followed by Three Four.

Ever since I have been a fan of both Pocket Fox and Local ‘n’ Live.

“Pocket Fox are another reason why I love the music scene in Canberra. There seems to be a never ending supply of bright and talented musicians in this town willing to make something fun and charming.”

There is a surprising amount of stunningly good music in this town. Why is that? Unfortunately, when they become really good and think they can actually make a living from it, they have to move away.

Three four gets my vote.
