What's up BBc? I know we always start out by thanking everyone in the BoomBox community that came out to see us, but this time it's hard to just say "thanks". It was really a stellar West Coast tour and we can't thank y'all enough! From Earthdance to Portland, Reno to Los Angeles, and especially after the passing of a family member, you all really showed some love and support. Thanks to Alice and Josh in Portland too- great pics, nice words from them: http://www.melophobe.com/articles/interview-boombox-portland-or-fall-2009/
And San Diego was a great way to round out this tour! The overwhelming support at the double-sold out show was amazing. West Coast, we will be back...

New tour news! After playing Zombie Ball on Halloween night in Austin http://www.zombieball.com/ the November tour kicks off in the south (5th and 6th) in Oxford, MS, and Mobile, AL. We're making stops back in Columbus, Chicago, Madison and St. Louis to name a few. Check the whole tour here: http://www.thisisboombox.com/shows.html

Big news! We'll be heading to Denver for the 2nd annual "BoomBox festival" called 'RE:CONVERGENCE' on Nov. 13th and 14th. Last year's CONVERGENCE in Ohio, was the beginning of something great, so we'll try to do this every year! This year we're adding other artists and acts like Ana Sia, Grown Folks Band, Lazor Sword, Samiyam, Two Fresh, Jason Sterling, DJ Rootz, and many more. It's going to be a party: two rooms/two nights at Cervante's Masterpiece Ballroom. We're supporting Conscious Alliance the entire weekend too, so bring your canned/non-perishable food items in exchange for a show poster, let's feed the hungry in Denver!

And finally, what the entire BBc is waiting to hear... We're in the studio now, and the new album "downriverelectric" will drop January 2010! We've introduced a few tracks already at our shows, but get it in its entirety soon!

Thanks to all again, see ya soon...

Due to a passing of a family member, BoomBox has regretfully canceled their set for tomorrow night’s show at the Nocturnum, in Eureka, CA to briefly return home to attend a funeral and spend time with family. However, because of the overwhelming support the group has received on the West Coast, performances in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego will remain scheduled as planned.

Godchaux explains, “I want to thank everyone for the support on this West Coast run. We are really honored to share what we all share together at shows.” He continues, “My family’s encouragement and your support led us to the decision to return back to California on Thursday (October 8th) to perform in San Francisco and finish the remainder of the tour.”  

Fans planning on attending the show in ..Eureka.. will still be treated to a night of music from Ana Sia who has been touring with BoomBox on this West Coast tour and are encourage to make the trip to San Francisco to see BoomBox perform on Thursday, October 8th at the Independent.

The band thanks everyone for their support and kind thoughts.

Hey! --Just a quick shout out to let everyone know that BoomBox apologizes to everyone who came out to see them in Seattle at Showbox SODO Lounge on Friday night. You did not get a full show, but for reasons beyond BoomBox's control...

The lowdown is that even after sound checks, the power and sound went out at the venue multiple times. They lost stage power twice, front of the house power once and lost the main PA system twice. Unfortunately, the guys working the venue that night were unsupportive of the situation and did not lend helping hands. 

Of course, no power = no music, and at midnight it was decided by all to pull the show entirely. Ben, BoomBox's tour manager, insisted he get on the mic and tell the crowd what happened (instead of the venue). It's apparent that not all in attendance heard the news about what happened at the venue and BoomBox wants to clear up any current rumors.

Russ and Zion would like to come back to Seattle in the future, of course. With proof of purchase (ticket stub or otherwise) BoomBox will gladly put anyone that was at the show Friday night on the next Seattle guest list. Again, all apologies about how the night unfolded. It's not in their nature to end a show early, as many of you know...  Thanks to all who came out, and see you next time!

Everyone's been waiting...and we just posted the first two songs from All Good Music Festival! New track is called "Baby Caught My Blues". Enjoy.

Getting back out on the road tomorrow, heading to Chattanooga, Atlanta and Birmingham. Check out the pre-party in Atlanta at Midcity Cafe, hosted by Ashby and Rob. Drink specials and ticket giveaways, just down the road from Smith's Olde Bar!

Next Tuesday, August 18, we'll be playing our last show at World Grotto, as they will be closing their doors. World Grotto has always worked to provide a welcoming place to enjoy the variety of tasty treats, music, people, and cultures that make up the mosaic of our world. Let's go and show our thanks to Susie and Brad for bringing fine music to Knoxville for so many years!

To start off, we want to give a big thank you to all who came out for our festival run, along with the Michigan and Wisco dates. Great to see old and new faces alike every night! So, right now we’re taking a couple weeks off, hitting the studio, and then doing a small Southeast tour for the home front.  

 

And the news many of you have been waiting for… We are pleased to announce our first official West Coast Tour! 

 

We’ve also mixed in a few other cities to kick off the tour. We’re heading to Little Rock, Tulsa, and Dallas, along with playing Asheville, NC's back-by-popular-demand Trinumeral Festival: http://www.trinumeral.com. We’re also excited to do a two-night run at George’s Majestic in Fayetteville, AR, and then we’re going out west…

 

Check out the full West Coast Tour at: http://www.thisisboombox.com/shows.html

 

Old SF stomping grounds, here we come… and don’t miss Northern California’s Earthdance Festival Sept 25-27: www.earthdancelive.com. We’re rounding out the tour in sunny San Diego. Glad to get back to Southern California again.

 

So, after all your emails, posts, requests and blogs, we want to see these West Coast venues packed!  See you all soon…
