Summary

I interviewed Fr. Christopher Foley, Fr. James Bozeman and Fr. David Bozeman, three Orthodox priests who are also in a rock band called Luxury. They started Luxury in the 90s but have since started making music again, released an album in 2019 and are working on a new one. We discuss their story, their music and approach to art, how to reconcile secular art with the sacred, their influences and creative process and more. Enjoy.

We'd also, you know, we need to remember that Christ is the perfect example of all of this.

0:05.2

So his ministry was three years long, but his whole life, you know, as a carpenter, was he like

carving crosses and giving him to people?

0:13.2

You know, probably not.

0:14.6

That would have been a weird time.

And because he's Christ, he does everything perfectly, which means it's perfectly humble, right?

0:26.3

So when people come to me and they say, yeah, I'm thinking about doing this thing or whatever, I'm like, great, do it and do it as well as you possibly can.

0:32.8

Because when you do that, they get a, well, I'll be prideful about it.

0:35.7

No, you won't. If it's actually done well,

0:41.1

it'll be done in the image of Christ. It'll be perfectly humble. It'll be a great offering.

So hello everybody. I am very pleased to be here with Father Christopher, Father James, and Father David, also known as the band luxury.

2:03.7

Some of you might have followed their stories.

2:05.3

Some of you might not know, but they started a band a long time ago when they were young, a rock band.

2:10.6

And many events in their lives brought them ultimately to not all of the people in the band, but three who are here with us today
