Shoebox

Two Peace Acoustic Reggae with Swingingroove

About Me

In the three years since forming, Shoebox has had unprecidented success as the Gold Coast's only acoutic reggae two peace. Having played over 300 shows and supporting the likes of G.Love and Special Sauce, Ozomatli and Wild Marmalade, Shoebox have shown that they are able to hold their own with of the worlds best. Not restricting themselves to just live performance, Shoebox have written soundtracks for such feature films as "Susan's Faith" and new T.V series "The Surf Show". Shoebox have quickly established themselves as one of the Gold Coast favorite party bands and with their current EP "JiggyJiggy" holding the top 7 spots on the MP3.com.au reggae and swing charts for more than 4 consecutive months, they are proving that they are here to stay.
