Perth act Foxton Kings have served up a heavy dose of funk with their latest single “Getting Old.” If you’re struggling to fire this morning, crank this baby up. Its wailing guitars and big thumping drums are just the things to kick you into gear!
“After gigging for about six months with the new line-up, this is the very first song we wrote together while on a weekend trip to Nannup,” frontman Joel Stevens explained. “We brought our instruments, a laptop and a camera to a house just out of town and set up for three nights. Our first jam happened about three hours after we arrived and that resulted in what is now ‘Getting Old.’ The structure, main hook – ‘shake my hand or take my soul/but hurry up now ‘cos I’m getting old’ – and most of the riffs were improvised during that first jam.”
If this is the kind of magic this new lineup produces, I can’t wait to hear more. Hopefully we won’t need to wait too long, as Foxton Kings plan to release another EP later this year.
