Nikki Foxx

Raw, untamable and unapologetic, Nikki Foxx oozed onto the Chicago scene in 1989 as the Midwest’s #1 Bad Boys, bringing sleaze rock to a whole new level. With a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and a big fuck you coming from the other, the band won the respect of fans and fellow performers, all while snagging some impressive honors. In 1990 the Chicago Rocker named Nikki Foxx “Best New Hard Rock Band.” In 1991 lead vocalist Lee Razor (Lee Philip, Haze Lee Finn…whatever the hell he answers to) won 2nd place for Chicago Rocker’s “Favorite Hard Rock Vocalist,” and the band followed up in 1992 with the Chicago Rocker award for “Favorite Hard Rock Band.” Though the guys partied hard and lived life on a razor’s edge the music was always their lifeblood, pounding sleaze and grit through the veins of their loyal following via one of the most unforgettable, unpredictable, what-the-fuck-just-happened stage shows.

In 1991, Nikki Foxx became a four-piece powerhouse. Times were changing and so was the band. The sound changed. The vibe changed. The look changed. Gone were the hairspray, lipstick and spandex of the 80’s, and in their place a truer rock and roll outfit emerged. Drug; it was the addictive new sound Haze Lee Finn, John Davidson, Brian Martin and Mark Pyszka were creating. Bordering on alternative/grunge, the band was hitting on all 8 cylinders, with new and old fans alike.
