NXNE Live: Foxfire Forest CLINTON'S - JUNE 8 Emerging from a spaced-out blue jumpsuit to reveal the bear costume beneath, lead vocalist Neil Rankin thus commenced the surreal, freaked-out funk experience that is Foxfire Forest. Somewhere between Prince, Broken Social Scene and a vivid, fairytale acid trip, the Toronto-based nine-some (yeah, they roll deep) make music as fun and vibrant as their stage show is theatrical. It brims with energy, anchored firmly by some seriously funky guitar and trumpet, and all topped off by a duo of backing female doo-wop vocalists worthy of Barry Mann. Not content with a mere two costume changes, Rankin donned a green dress and stuffed monarch's crown to embark upon the set's second half, descending into the tight, but energetic crowd of groupies twitching at the foot of the stage to further entrance an already fanatical cadre of twee partiers. Surely this is one of the most entertaining bands in Toronto's indie-rock dance scene.
