Moxy & the Influence

Have you seen that commercial where several young girls were interviewed and asked how they felt when they were told they couldn't do something because they were a girl?  Obviously, none of them were Moxy (lead vocals), Shea (bass), or Sydney (guitar)-and Ignacio Barrientos-of Moxy and the Influence, a modern-day glam rock band from Costa Mesa, California.  But if they were, they'd all give a different response from all the others.  And I a dare say they may even sing or play their respective instruments, as well. 

Moxy And The Influence

I just love not the drum intro, but the cymbal intro in "Breathe. Scream. Survive."  I can't remember the last time I heard a female sing like that, either.  Thank you, Moxy, for keeping that alive.  Girls rock X 3.  I can't begin to imagine how wild your crowds go at shows when you play this. 

You also respect yourselves, as heard in "Me4Me."  Did you hear my applause when I heard "Were you hoping to change the way I dress? Maybe I should wear a little less."  Modest is hottest, that's for sure.  That is a bit cliche, but that's how I roll.

I think you've obtained another fan.  If anyone would like to hear what I've heard and more, here's the Reverbnation link.
