About

Foxing in Concert

Foxing formed in 2011 in St. Louis, at the crossroads where the intimate, heart-on-sleeve catharsis of emo and the expansive sonic scope of post-rock intersect. On the band's 2013 debut ‘The Albatross,' the group navigated a precarious balance between their elegant, piano-twinkled arrangements and the battle-scarred vocals of bassist Conor Murphy, whose elastic performances could veer from soothingly soulful to anguished in the span of a single line (When you hear him croak out the devastating chorus of "Rory" — "so why don't you love me back?" — you can practically feel the swollen ache in his Adam's apple). 

That album catapulted Foxing to the frontlines of the early-2010s emo renaissance, landing them tours with fellow torchbearers like The Hotelier and Modern Baseball. Their sophomore 2015 release, ‘The Dealer,' upped the ante with more intensely personal revelations like "The Magdalene" (on which Murphy wrestles with his Catholic guilt) and "Indica" (written by guitarist Josh Coll about his traumatic tour of duty in Afghanistan). 

The album cracked the Top 5 on both Billboard's Heatseekers and Vinyl Albums charts, a telling indicator of Foxing's burgeoning appeal beyond the often-ghettoized world of emo. They would make good on that promise with their 2018 album, ‘Nearer My God,' their first since Coll's departure the previous year to pursue filmmaking (There's no hard feelings, though — Coll directed the interconnected videos for the album's singles). 

Co-produced by Foxing guitarist Eric Hudson with former Death Cab for Cutie member Chris Walla (who first contacted the band to offer support after their near-fatal van crash in 2016), ‘Nearer My God' sees Foxing trying on modern-R&B minimalism ("Slapstick"), anthemic synth-pop surges (the title track), and — why not — bagpipes ("Bastardizer") without sacrificing their tender, heartfelt essence. 

As their musical ambitions have expanded, so too has the band itself: onstage, the nominal quartet have blossomed into a seven-piece, with additional keyboardists and horn players to give these songs the epic treatment they deserve.

  • Amazing

    by Adrianna on 11/5/24Delmar Hall - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    Foxing are incredible and the venue was amazing at handling an ugly situation.

  • Absolutely amazing

    by Cat on 11/5/24Delmar Hall - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazing show. We were rocked to our lungs and blood and brains. Sold out crowd couldn’t get enough of Foxing.

  • Pure Catharsis

    by Taylor on 11/5/24Delmar Hall - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    Experiencing Foxing live is pure catharsis. They open with powerful sound that wraps around you, building tension and then letting it go all in these perfectly timed moments. The vocals are so clear and raw they almost feel personal. Hearing them perform tracks of their self-titled album was one of those moments you feel like it’s all worth it - a true testament to the time and talent they’ve poured into their work over the last decade. Foxing deserves all the success in the world and you’re a fool if you don’t see them live.

  • Don’t miss this band

    by glassJAw on 11/4/24Outset - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    First off it was my first trip to outset and I gotta say I will be looking forward to more shows there in the future. From the Set up to the staff everything was pleasant we have an embarrassment of great venues in Chicago and this fits right in. As for foxing, having seen them tour for the past 8 years or so, it is just incredible to see them raising the bar each and every tour. Been waiting for this one with so much hype since the last tour and they still managed to absolutely shatter expectations. Whether u've seen them before or just curious get to a show u won’t regret it. Especially since they could probably justify charging 3-4x ticket prices for the effort they put in each night

  • So good

    by Dani T on 11/4/24Outset - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This was my first time seeing both Foxing and From Indian Lakes and it far exceeded my expectations. I love both bands already, but this is one of the best shows I've been to in a long time. So happy

  • AMAZING

    by ellen on 11/4/24Outset - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Foxing was amazing!!!! They played majority of their new album but it was amazing.

  • Best show

    by Re on 11/3/24Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    Best show ever. Foxing is amazing live. I had a fantastic time. Thank you!!!!

  • Opening was an honor

    by Nate Feher on 10/22/24The Bronze Peacock at House of Blues Houston - HoustonRating: 5 out of 5

    My band, MUTT, was invited by FOXING and the venue(House of Blues,Houston) to open the for this unique band. They are an ensemble that will floor you and I urge listeners to discover the music they put out. I want to thank both Foxing and HoBlues for the opportunity to share the stage at this iconic Houston venue. Nate&Mutt.

  • The opening band was terrible. Not worth the $40.

    by Walker on 3/5/24Summit - DenverRating: 3 out of 5

    The opening band absolutely sucked. They had terrible stage presence and even worse music. The middle band and the headliner did alright but they had pretty bad stage presence.

  • Foxing was a Magical Experience!

    by Kristin on 3/2/24Summit - DenverRating: 5 out of 5

    There is nothing that beats hearing The Albatross all the way through. Foxing was absolutely haunting live, as always. I have seen them a few times before but this show was very special. I just wish they had held it at a different venue as Summit is my least favorite place to see a show in Denver - especially after Soda Jerk sold out to Live Nation. I am happy to have been able to see Foxing play this album one last time and I look forward to seeing Smidley play soon!
