Artist History One dull summer afternoon in 1994, David Dewese and Jerry James, long-time school chums and church attendees in the ancient town of Mesquite, Texas stumbled upon an abandoned drumkit in one of their Sunday School’s upper-level classrooms. The discovery sparked a fervent series of elegant experiments in life and literature, noise and nihilism, with the results published in scientific journals worldwide. The boys’ musical explorations continued (thanks in no small measure to lovely patrons who generously lent their guitars, amplifiers, drumsticks, tape players, etc.), allowing the Foxymorons to develop their own slightly skewed interpretation of modern pop music.

Press Reviews This dynamic duo hails from the 'burbs of Dallas. Imagine the spunk and sass of early Elvis Costello combined with a unique mixture of introverted colloquialisms, rambunctious drumming and lonely words of wisdom, and you have pinpointed the Foxymorons’ stylistic niche. The band's strength centers on James’ and Dewese's symbiotic ability to feed off each other's creative revelations and produce some startling pop gems.

Location Mesquite, TX - USA
