    Moxy Früvous

    Moxy Früvous was an alternative pop-folk quartet from the Toronto suburb of Thornhill which was active from 1990 to 2001. After starting out busking, the band broke through in the early 1990s with a gold and platinum record in Canada, and built a significant cult following of self-identifying “Frü-heads” in the US later in the decade. The group’s quirky wit, upbeat harmonies, political consciousness and unabashed eclecticism were evidenced in such songs as “King of Spain,” “Stuck in the 90s” and “My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors.”
