While headlining stadium sized gigs may be every bands dream, Mayan Fox understand that the closest step to such a thing is supporting massive bands that are already headlining stadium-sized gigs. This is the stage of their career where the 5 piece exotic fun makers find themselves at the moment.
Mayan Fox have recently supported Thirsty Merc, performing to packed houses, and also have in their... history of bands supported Jet, Tame Impala, Spacifix, Brian Cadd and more. Mayan Fox have recently returned from a tour of New Zealand on the back of their debut album ‘Outfoxed’ which is selling fast and receiving rave reviews for it’s fresh and hooking melodies. The album was produced by Mayan Fox and Govinda Doyle, (Angus and Julia Stone’s ‘Big Jet Plane’). Their first single ‘Lioness (I Still Want Her)’ has been receiving radio play across the world. Mayan Fox are known for their highly charged live show and front man Nate Hamon was recently quoted in Tsunami magazine as saying “Anyone that sees us live can tell that we’re having a lot of fun and it consequently allows the audience to lose their inhibitions and get a little silly! The audience sees us doing our daggy dance moves and think, “why not” and suddenly we have a room full of daggy dancers!” The Mayan Fox line-up is completed by Maria Hamon on ukulele and violin, Maui Whaanga on lead guitar, Tai Shan Fox on bass and JJ Fox on drums. |

Top 5 Songs about Food
5. Blueberry Hill – Louis Armstrong This is a classic. I remember picking blueberries for pocket money as a kid. 1 in the bucket, 1 in the mouth… 4. Roast Fish and Cornbread - Lee Scratch Perry Okay I may have only picked this to include a good reggae song considering that's my favourite genre. I guess I could have gone with Bob's guava jelly but I love roast fish and I love cornbread. I’m yet to have them together but ‘Uncle Scratch’ has convinced me to try. 3. Cherry Pie …
Jet, the Killers, Radio and All-round Foxiness!
I was at an Arts forum recently where CC the Cat made a comment that stuck with me. She said something along the lines of "Sometimes we can get down by thinking on the things we haven't accomplished. Sometimes instead of making a 'To Do' list, perhaps we should make a 'Have Done' list and whatever the accomplishments are be proud of them and celebrate them!" She probably articulated that better as I'm just going off memory but it made me think because I was getting down on myself wondering why …
Naked in the Basement
I had an epiphany yesterday. As our newborn daughter Akira worked herself in to a state of inconsolability (due to her being hungry and Maria having ducked out to the shops), I took her for a walk outside. She immediately began to settle. This wasn’t a new experience for me. I’ve always noticed that when I take an unsettled baby or child outside that they more often than not calm down. Many other parents and carers have probably noticed that too. So what was the epiphany? I suddenly realised …
The Worst Song Lyrics of All Time
I’ll admit that I’m no Leonard Cohen when it comes to writing prose but I feel I’m at least worthy enough to judge the latest Chris Brown song ‘Transformer’ as having some of the worst lyrics of all time. It’s as if they were written by a prepubescent boy who had just come back from watching Megan Fox running around in her denim hotpants on ‘Revenge of the Fallen’. “Imma transform ya like a transformer…” “turn you from a human in …

Christmas is over (at least it is for us Southern Hemisphererers). Now we look ahead to 2010.
