 In 1999 Moxy drummer Bill Wade called Moxy members Earl Johnson and Buddy Caine after a 20 year recording gap to produce Moxy's fifth studio album appropriately titled Moxy V. The new album V released in 2000, returned them to the hard rock sound of the first three albums. New vocalist Brian Maxim (former member of Stumbling Blind and The Passing Fancy), who was considered a true member of Moxy, as Brian sang back-ups for "Buzz" on tour back in 1977, worked with Buddy Caine and Terry Juric in the band Voodoo and worked with "Buzz" at Shaw Industries in the early 80s .
Bill Wade grew very ill shortly after Moxy V was released. Unable to continue, a replacement for Bill became necessary and a bass player was also needed to replace Terry Juric who couldn't play live. Drummer Kim Hunt and bassist Jim Samson, both former members of Zon, were added/ For their 25 anniversary Moxy played in San Antonio (alongside fellow special guests Saxon) in 2000 and performed again in 2004 with Budgie and Michael Schenker (Scorpions & UFO) at the annual Legs Diamond Bash in the Sunken Garden Theater to the delight of 6,000 fans. The popularity that Moxy still holds in Europe prompted the band's first tour outside North America in 2001. Later that year Moxy found a home at Bullseye Records of Canada and released the 'best of' live album 'Raw' which was recorded in Pickering, Ontario 'live' off the floor in a secret warehouse location to an invitation-only audience. Bullseye Records of Canada also re-released Moxy V in North America with remastered and re-edited songs and new a track sequence supervised by Earl Johnson at Soho Studios in Toronto with engineer Glenn Belcher. |
