oxy Music
announced today their much anticipated return to the concert arenas for a

potent cocktail of fashion, romance, nostalgia and futurism they are set to
stun audiences with a set of songs taken from their incomparable and unique
repertoire: 'Do the Strand', 'Virginia Plain', 'Jealous Guy', 'Pyjamarama',
'Street Life', 'Love is the Drug' and 'Avalon' will be given the 21st Century
treatment with a typically innovative lighting and stage set.
riginal band members, Bryan
Ferry, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera were present at a packed media launch at
the Savoy in the Strand where they announced that Roxy Music would play those
inimitable songs for a final one-off tour. oxy Music's influence continues to be a strong
inspirational force amongst contemporary musicians. If you put together a bill
with all the artists whose work bears the fingerprints of Roxy Music, it would
be a festival to end them all. The show would start with their countless fellow
travellers and courtiers in experimental rock of the early 1970's, take in some
of the prime players in Krautrock, just about all the new romantic movement,
the gatekeepers of electronica and progressive dance music, and open out into a
millennial rock hall of fame with the likes of Radiohead, Pulp, Suede, Moby and
many more. Roxy Music were a live band from 1972 until 1983, releasing 8
seminal studio albums which have continued to enthrall and excite - finally in
2001 the next phase of Roxy Music will begin.  Tour promoter John Giddings reading the press release in the Lancaster Room Note: Following the UK shows the band will perform The Roxy Music 2001 tour in Europe then onto Canada and USA To download the press release click here for text file |
