Birmingham-based musician, SIMON FOX, currently working under the stage-name FOX Discography: "The First Rule Of Comedy" by Lonesome Fox (e.p. - 2007) "Fruit" by Fox (single - 2009) "Everything Is For The Best" by World Of Fox (album - 2009) "Skip More School" (split single, including Fox - 2009) A prolific and committed independent musician, SIMON FOX was formerly leader of Birmingham’s post-rock pioneers, GROVER . Between 1993-2003, Grover released a host of albums, singles and split releases on independent labels around the world. Broadcasts on BBC Radio1 (including a Peel Session in 2001), plus airtime on a variety of independent stations in Europe and the USA, helped Grover build a dedicated international fan-base and influence the UK post-rock scene. Since then, Simon has quietened down, trading sweeping guitar theatrics for more intimate, acoustic-led songwriting. The new songs, performed under the moniker FOX, show a more personal, reflective side, with deceptively rich arrangements, a disarming wit and a flair for creating intimate moods. Recordings feature Simon playing a wide variety of instruments, including guitars, banjo, percussion, keyboards, theremin, mandolin, even occasional brass and woodwind. As well as performing solo, Simon can often be seen/heard collaborating with other artists. Most notably, he is one half of electronica duo KRAFLA, was a founder member of the EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC COLLECTIVE, recorded and gigged an album with CLAIR HORTON, is currently working with JAMES SUMMERFIELD and is a regular guest DJ for the GRUMPY MAN DJs.
