The Box Rockets

About Me


The Box Rockets formed in 2008 as a reaction to reading Wiki Answers' 'How To Form A Rock Band.' Hailing from Sorrento, Ivanhoe, Oakleigh and Templestowe respectively, the band travel the far reaches of central Victoria in order to follow the 15 steps outlined in Wiki. Nonetheless, they convene as often as possible to play their lean, melodic and exciting tunes, the likes of which they hope will one day afford them a beautiful inner city share house where they can cook their own burgers and save money on fuel. For the immediate future however, the Box Rockets maintain a busy schedule of gigs throughout Melbourne; performing their blend of big choruses and punk spontaneity. In August 2009 the band plans to head into the studio with respected Melbourne producer Steven Schram.

A eulogy for Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley died yesterday (Monday, the 2nd of June, 2008), and I really dig his music, so I thought I'd share my thoughts about his guitar sound and his influence.  'Mona (I Need You Baby)' is m...
