Video premiere: Foxy Shazam's 'Tragic Thrill'

USATODAY

The members of Foxy Shazam — Aaron McVeigh, left, Sky White, Loren Turner, Eric Nally, Alex Nauth and Daisy Caplan — are offering free downloads of their new album, "Gonzo."

When it comes to talking about Foxy Shazam's video for Tragic Thrill, singer Eric Nally likes to quote Marlon Brando: "This is a false world," the late actor once said. "It's been a struggle to try to preserve my sanity and sense of reality taken away by success. I have to fight hard to preserve that sense of reality so as to bring up my children."

There's a bit of surreality to the pink-hued video, directed by Ryan Mackfall, which premieres at USA TODAY. Tragic Thrill is the current single from the Steve Albini-engineered Gonzo, the Ohio rockers' fifth album. The band has made the album available for free download through its website.

Foxy Shazam will tour in support of Gonzo starting May 27 in Harrisburg, Pa. The group also is slated to play Cincinnati's Bunbury Music Festival July 12.
