Synopsis

Amazon.com
Taking threads of rock, pop, jazz, swing, cabaret, and Middle Eastern music, Moxy Früvous weave a kaleidoscopic tapestry of sounds with lustrous voices and vibrant melodies. Floating above their diversified choice of instruments--which at times includes congas, accordion, and a tin whistle--are the band's trademark vocals: four mellifluous voices blending in intimate harmony, like a barbershop quartet covering Tom Waits, Bobby Darin, Ravi Shankar, and the Beach Boys at a Beatles convention. Interspersed between the songs are snippets of the band's on-stage banter and frequent interactions with the audience, bringing everything from a Moxy show into your living room except for the overpriced drinks and the idiot next to you who won't stop screaming over and over for the same song. A rich treat. --Katie Sigler

CD Reviews

Great, for a while
08/26/2003
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This CD grew on me after a while. It is good-at least at times. The second half gets a bit bogged down for my taste, but tunes like "Johnny Saucep'n" and "Gotta Get A Message To You" are great performances. "Fly" and "Horseshoes" are also standouts. Some of the songs are good, some are dumb and most are dumb and then grew on me. The performances are very good overall but the "banter" between songs can get stupid sometimes. Not in a good way either. Some is amusing, but they do try hard to be funny and don't always make it.
It is great CD when I'm in a certain mood and I do think that a real Fruhead would love it."
A great showcase of live Früvous

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have only had the pleasure of seeing Moxy Früvous live once, and it seems unlikely that I will see them anytime soon, since they're no longer together. It was a great experience, though, and this album captures a lot of that experience. The band is really on top of things when performing live, and most of these tracks actually sound as good as or better than their studio counterparts. In addition to being excellent musicians, the four members of Früvous are also great showmen, and Live Noise manages to showcase some of their amusing between-song banter, as well as an improvisational song about the state with the lowest highest point (although they unwittingly give the wrong answer). I would highly recommend this album to anyone interested in Moxy Früvous. It shows them at their best."
