About Me

DISGRUNTLED NOISE BOX is a band from Muscatine, Iowa that has a sound that is a mixture of weirdo rock, dance and comedy. They wear costumes when they play live and never fail to put on an interesting and fun show. And perhaps they are the only band in Iowa to have a kazu player. They started out as a 2 piece accoustic guitar/kazu/vocals act before purchasing a drum machine and going electric. They have played with a full band before but are currently doing the 2 piece thing with the drum machine at shows while assembling a full band again. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what a band like Disgruntled Noisebox do but that is part of their appeal. They have many different influences and incorporate countless styles into their music. A live show by them is kind of like watching a circus on drugs. They put on a show and are entertainers, and that is the bottom line. This is a band who will be worth your time to check out no matter what impression they leave you with.

Sounds Like: With the drum machine we sound like a combination of 80s new wave with quirky noisy rock...maybe the most similar band not in style but in approach would be Mindless Self Indulgence. With a full band we are a rock band with a capital fucking R!
