Ryan Roxie - The Number 77

The Number 77

Roxie has been well known to sign things with his name followed by the number 77. It also features in promo shirts for Dads Porno Mag which featured a red, white and blue number 77, in the name of his band Roxie 77 and numerous other places. Roxie explained the use of the number;

It all started a few years back when people I was touring with would put whatever year it was next to their name, so I just started leaving the year 1977 next to my signature. Well, the more I did the research, the more I begun to discover that the year 1977 had a profound influence on me musically. So many important albums and events happened that year that shaped me musically" For example – Cheap Tricks Debut Album, Queen – News of the World, Kiss – Love Gun, Eagles – Hotel California not to mention Elvis passing away and Star Wars (the movie, not the missile defense system).
