Lucas Fox is a drummer who was a member of British
heavy metal band Motörhead
and London
punk
rockers Warsaw Pakt.
In 1975
Fox was invited, along with Larry Wallis, to start Lemmy's
band Bastards. After taking advice, the band was
renamed Motörhead.
The band supported Greenslade at gigs, performing a
lot of cover numbers. Their debut was at The
Roundhouse, on July
20. Fox was drummer for six months before being replaced during their
first album recording sessions by Phil "Philthy Animal"
Taylor. Fox's drumming appeared on the On Parole
album track, "Lost Johnny" which, unlike the rest of the songs Fox
recorded for the album, wasn't overdubbed with Taylor's drums.
In Spring 1977
Warsaw Pakt formed around Ladbroke
Grove, London, comprised of lead guitarist Andy Colquhoun of The
Rockets, Lucas Fox on drums, vocalist Jimmy Coull, John
Walker on rhythm guitar, and Chris Underhill on bass.
The band gigged around local venues and played with Siouxsie & the
Banshees at a gig in the bar of Exeter College, Oxford, Oxford.
Their debut album "Needle Time" was released
through Island Records, a rush job, it was recorded, mastered,
produced, packaged and distributed in 24 hours, from 10 p.m. on November
26 to 7 p.m. on November 27. 5,000 copies were sold in
the first week, at the end of the week Island Records decided they
would not have any more pressed. The band continued to play locally for
a few months more before finally splitting up in March 1978.
In the early-1980s
Fox moved to France and ended up booking the music for the Midem festival. This
led to him heading an effort by the French Culture Ministry to promote
French bands abroad which was very much responsible for the
international success of bands such as the Gypsy
Kings and Carte De Séjour.
Fox was also one of the many drummers The Scientist
employed between 1985
and 1986,
and worked on Andrew Eldritch's
side-project The Sisterhood.
