In a recent interview on the “All Bets Are Off” podcast with Robby Vegas, newly appointed VIXEN singer Rosa Laricchiuta shared her excitement and challenges of joining the iconic all-female rock band. She expressed her love for the melodic rock songs and the thrill of performing them on stage, calling it the most challenging yet rewarding experience of her career. Laricchiuta made her debut with VIXEN on June 21, alongside other legendary bands in Anaheim, California.
Reflecting on her first show, Laricchiuta described feeling overwhelmed but grateful to be part of a welcoming band that made her feel like part of a family from day one. The high energy and infectious vibe from her bandmates on stage blended seamlessly with her own powerful vocals, creating an unforgettable experience for both her and the audience.
Despite her initial lack of familiarity with VIXEN’s legacy, Laricchiuta was captivated by the idea of joining an all-female band, calling it “badass” and fulfilling a childhood dream. With her solid stage presence and powerful voice, she quickly made a name for herself in Quebec before venturing into the English-language music scene and eventually joining forces with TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA.
VIXEN’s decision to part ways with former lead singer Lorraine Lewis was met with mixed reactions, but current guitarist Britt Lightning emphasized the importance of maintaining the band’s musical integrity while embracing new opportunities for growth and creativity.
As VIXEN continues to evolve with new members and fresh energy, fans can expect to see more shows and potentially new music on the horizon. Laricchiuta’s infectious passion for music and undeniable talent are sure to leave a lasting impact on the band and their audience alike.
