Foxygen
Band Westlake Village United States Formed 2005
Foxygen formed in 2005 in Westlake Village, United States. Foxygen has 14 chart appearances on 13 radio countdowns from 7 stations on RockLists, spanning 2013–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Follow the Leader”, which appears on 6 lists with a best position of #31.

Foxygen are Jonathan Rado and Sam France, a pair from Westlake Village, California, who started the band in 2005 and have piled up six albums and a stack of self-released EPs since. Rado is the multi-instrumentalist, France is the voice, and together they treat the whole history of psychedelic rock like a thrift-store bin they're allowed to raid.
Signed to Jagjaguwar, they made We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic in 2013: "San Francisco" is a sweet, woozy singalong with a wink in it, and "Shuggie" swings between moods like it can't sit still, all funky keys and theatrical swagger. The songs sound thrown together in the best way, a little ragged, a lot of fun.
By 2017's Hang, "Follow the Leader" was strutting like a glam-soul revue, proof that these two never play it safe.
