Be still my 80’s heart, it’s VIXEN! Live at the OLD SHILLELAGH in Downtown Detroit. Vixen was originally formed in Minnesota, in 1980. Their first album; released in 1988 and self-titled, VIXEN, reached 41 on the Billboard 200. They disbanded in 1992, but reformed multiple times till they came to the current line-up of Roxi Petrucci (drums), Share Ross (bass,vocals), Lorraine Lewis (lead vocals) and Britt Lightning (lead guitar). I hope you got a chance to check out this free show because these ladies rocked!
