Biography

Roxy Music are an English art rock group founded in the early 1970s by art school graduate Bryan Ferry (vocals and keyboards). The band existed from 1971 through 1983, then reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have announced that they will be recording a new album in 2005-2006 for a 2007 release.

The group's name was partly an homage to the titles of old cinemas and dance halls, and partly a pun on the word 'rock'...
