BringBackGlam.com interviewed Britny Fox following the bands set at this years Rocklahoma Festival in Pryor, OK. A few excerts of the interview follow:

BBG: Tell me about your upcoming projects.

Billy Childs: We’ve been on a tour since May. It goes until the end of July, and we have some European stuff planned, too. Tommy and I have been writing, so we’re waiting on a window where we can record some stuff again. We just recorded a couple old songs for a new compilation with Gilby Clarke for Cleopatra Records.

BBG: Ok, well why did a bunch of guys decide to name their band Britny Fox?

Billy: Oh, it was just an idea we all had way back in the beginning. If you remember what we looked like on the first album (Editor’s note: at this point, Billy Childs produces a laminate from the Britny Fox 1988 tour.) It was just a point in time in the music industry. Just remember, that if you don’t play ball along a certain image, you were not going to get looked at. A band like us, the only choice we had, was to take it to the next level. After we took it to the level we did – Pirates of Penzance! – there really wasn’t that much farther to go at that point.

BBG: What does a festival of this magnitude say to you?

Billy: I think it’s amazing the music has endured to the level it has, and I think that’s a feeling shared by all the bands playing. We’re all very happy to still be around in 2007. There’s a surreal quality to it.

Tommy Paris: For whatever reason, it seems like there’s been a real spike in the interest in this kind of music. Which is cool for us.
