BRITNY FOX Singer Discusses Reunion Plans

May 8, 2007

Sleaze Roxx recently conducted an interview with BRITNY FOX vocalist Tommy Paris. A few excerpts follow:

Sleaze Roxx: I see BRITNY FOX is back, why did you decide to hit the road at this time?

Tommy: "We've had offers to tour every year with other bands but usually just for the summer. We wanted to stay out for some time and build momentum when we go... This year we've had more interest than usual so we committed to touring for a long run and hopefully it will materialize that way."

Sleaze Roxx: Do you think it might have been a better idea to wait until Michael Kelly Smith and Johnny Dee were available?

Tommy: "They were both asked to go but had prior commitments. Billy and I wanted to do it. They are still in the band and there are no hard feelings between us. Down the road they may want to come out and that'd be great. Until then we really want to tour."

Sleaze Roxx: I know there are a few BRITNY FOX demos floating around with you on vocals, have you ever thought of releasing an album of unreleased stuff or re-releasing your solo CD?

Tommy: "Not really. I'll do a new solo CD sometime down the line. I have a lot of new material and when I find the right inspiration I'll get it rolling. I'm also looking forward to doing a new album with BRITNY FOX."

Sleaze Roxx: Looking back, do you think "Springhead Motorshark" was the right album for BRITNY FOX to return with?

Tommy: "It wasn't meant as a return. We don't think that way. We give every album all we have and make it all it can be. It was experimental which was fun but it was made under less than ideal circumstances. I'd like to avoid that in the future. If you listen to the whole CD from the beginning of 'Pain' to the very end of 'Sri Lanka' LOUD on a good system — I think it's a killer album. It's not as easily digestible as some of the other albums but you just go for it and let come what may. The next album we do will be completely different as I think we've entertained all of our cerebral desires on 'Springhead'. Raw meat next time."
