Love these guys. I used to go to school with Mike Ford. These guys and Bare Naked Ladies are similar, and BNL won the battle, thanks to label marketing and their A&R rep. Too bad, Moxy was really good.

Wow, they look so different from how I imagined them (apart from the drummer, and I'm not even sure which one that is; I'm guessing Jian, going by his solo album cover.) They all look so normal and… wholesome or something. I can't believe I've listened to them so much without having any idea what they looked like.
@Ichikawamama Hahaha! Yes, that's exactly what it is, they look like they can spell. They look like they could be parents of somebody who can spell. Mind you, Tom Lehrer also looks like that, and I wasn't surprised to see what he looked like.
I remember first hearing of these guys when they performed on I think the show was "Musicwerks" I think that was how it was spelled, I'm not exactly sure; on CBC hosted by Pat Mastroianni from Degrassi around the early-mid '90s. I think the year was 1993 or 1994.
I never saw this before, but I laughed when I heard how it turned from a shave to a grave for Robertson Davies. I played the tape "Bargainville" over and over and over.
@FruvousVideos i love collections of old videos. i assume you're from toronto? you should check out this youtube channel of old stuff from TV growing up. search "retrontario" and check out the videos on the channel.
@keysers0z3 No. I wasn't searching at all. Don't know if you noticed but youtube gives you about 20 links a day based on other videos you have viewed. This was unfortunately, one of them.
I saw Moxy Fruvous in concert about 16 years ago! I still have all their songs from their first album memorized!
I wish they had more songs like that album!

I met Jian once, during which time I discovered that he was actually in this band (which I was a huge fan of). I just about did a backflip.

Love the live album, it was the first time I'd heard any Moxy. I actually like their covers better than the original songs.
