Hola friends,

Your favorite little soul jazz outfit, The Red Fox Tails, have been busy working on a new album. This next album promises to offer the same cinematic, surf jazz vibes as before but with a twist. With the recent addition of Saxophone expect to hear more golden surf soul jazz jams played with the added soul flavor of reedman JP Balmat. We’ve just started the recording process but are excited with what is transpiring. We hope to have some soul jazz tunes that will make your head bob while your feet do the funky dance. We love the surf and we hope to interpret the sounds of surf the best we can. We want you to enjoy the sunset listening to the Red Fox Tails, be it in the desert, looking through a downtown skyscraper, breathing fresh mountain air, sitting on a hammock in a rainforest, or cruising through the California coastline.

You can still hear and buy our first two musical outputs, Drop In and Aloha via bandcamp or iTunes. Spread the word, the Red Fox Tails are creating some new sounds for today and beyond.

2012 was a great year for The Red Fox Tails! We’d like to thank all of our fans for coming out to the shows, buying our music, and being awesome people! 2013 looks to be a promising one as well!

We’ve got some great shows lined up in January! We recently shot a live action video from our recent weekend gig at The Casbah down in San Diego, so look for that real soon! It was shot by Andrew Reilly, so you know it’s going to look pretty rad!

We plan to begin recording a new album later this month too. This next album will have even more sexy horn action thanks to the recent addition of JP Balmat (of the amazing Euphoria Brass Band!) joining The Red Fox Tails crew. JP is one talented dude, so you can expect the new album to be chock full of Alto Sax, Baritone Sax and some Clarinet! The mandolin will be making its debut appearance on the new Fox Tails album too. The desert-tinged tune “Abuelita” features some slide mandolin action; so get ready to transport your soul to far out destinations. We are excited to start the recording process on this next batch of tunes! As always, check out our upcoming shows page to stay up to date with all our shows.

Check us out this month at:

Jan 13 – Solace and The Moonlight Lounge, Encinitas, CA
Jan 17 – The Tin Can Ale House, San Diego, CA w/Degero, Merry Problem Child
Jan 19 – The Kensington Club, San Diego, CA w/ Skavolutionary Orchestra, Euphoria Brass Band

We recently recorded a new tune called “Benson” at The Lost Ark Studio in San Diego. It’s all part of the Lost Ark Studio Compilation – Vol. 04 series and we’re super stoked to be a part of it. Check out the tune and check out all of the great bands featured on the Lost Ark studio compilation series.

Also, we’ve got a show coming up this weekend in Encinitas. This Sunday Dec. 9th, come hang out with us upstairs in the Moonlight Lounge at Solace restaurant. They’ll have oysters and drink specials going on, so come give your ears and taste buds a treat. We go on at 7pm, see you there!
