Formed in 2010 on top of a run-down fried chicken shop on London’s Holloway Road, MFC Chicken play raw, sax-fuelled rock and roll tunes about fast food and broken hearts.
When tenor sax player Spencer Evoy arrived in London fresh from Canada, little did he know that his quest to reignite the spirit of the rock'n'roll sound of the American Pacific Northwest would start outside a chicken shop on the Holloway Road. Since those early days, this poultry-power rock and roll group have released 4 award winning LPs and a fist-full of instantly collectable singles on Dirty Water Records (UK) and FOLC Records (Spain).
The current line-up of the band - Spencer Evoy (Sax/Lead Vox), Ravi Low-Beer (Drums), Zig Criscuolo (Bass/Vox) & Dan Criscuolo (Guitar/Vox) - have set the UK and Europe alight with 100’s of live shows presenting their own red hot take on "the music the Sonics & The Wailers were listening to", cementing this globe-spanning gang into the finest purveyors of Pacific Northwest rhythm and blues in the land.
2020 saw the 10th anniversary of the band and the release of their classic slab of vinyl “Fresh Food and Broken Hearts, presenting 14 meaty chunks of rock and roll, frat rock and rhythm and blues. Despite its release on the cusp of the pandemic the band were one of the few bands who managed to play shows in 2020 and throughout 2021. Since then, they have kept the pace up with even more shows in the UK, USA, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Finland and Spain.
Most recently they have been collaborating with Barrence Whitfield, and 2025 will see the launch of their 6th, soon to become, instant smash hit LP “Milk Chicken”.
If you love dancing but hate contemporary music… if you are desperate to hear rock'n'roll taken back to its roots… if you are hungry for the greasiest item on the rhythm and blues dance menu, then you are most definitely ready for the indescribable, unstoppable sound of MFC Chicken - the best in the land!
