About Me
Shot
DAN, guitar (Les Paul 'Agile', Epiphone Dot, Peavey Classic 50)
'Previously fronting the early 90's alternative band Dunce, Dan has now moved on to front Boxing Day. Priding himself on his unique melody lines and simple guitar work, Dan has surely become a driving factor in the band. Whether it be working on songs at home, recording, mixing or just relaxing after working all day, Dan's commitment to this band is non short of great.'
*****
NICK, bass (Tobias 6 string, Fender Bassman Head, SWR 410 cab, Fender Bassman 115)
'What a wonder it is to watch Nick play. He's always evolving, learning, driving and pushing us to the limit. Hailing from Mongolia, or China, or Japan.. hell why not, even Hawaii, "Taco", as he's known to some, creates wonderous basslines complimenting every aspect of the song. Nick has also studied the works of Victor Wooten, Stu Hamm, Primus and finally the RHCP to name a select few.'
*****
ROB, drums (Taye kit, Evans heads, Zildjian A Customs, Gibralter hardware, Pearl Eliminator Dbl bass)
'Where do we start with this Thunder God? Rob's unique approach and style greatly shone through auditioning for Boxing Day in Nov of 05. Rob is quite passive however, if irritated enough.. you will surely know of it. :) Boxing Day has been raiding his basement since Dec of 05. Many, many thanks to him and his wife for putting up with us. Thanks guys.'
*****
DON, guitar (Fender American Deluxe Strat, Gibson SG, Fender Hot Rod Deville 410)
'Moving to Wisconsin in April of 04, Don drove here from Tucson/Phoenix, AZ to be with his longtime gf, Stephenie. Learning to play drums and guitar almost simultaniously, Don played drums in MANY Tucson bands... but guitar was the choice made for this band. He uses a very rhythmatic approach and tasteful non flashy leads to compliment the excellent melody lines from Dan's vocals, Nick's melodic and funky basslines, and finally Rob's solid and tight drumwork.'

Forming Boxing Day with our unique blend of Alternative and splashes of Funk, was official on Dec. 26th of 2005 with band members Rob Baker, Nick Smith, Don Herwick and finally Dan Booth.
