The Pine Box Boys

"We'll be the last ones to let you down."

About Me

Here's the basics: Four guys strap on acoustic instruments and make a lot of clatter (hollering about killing folks with knives, and guns, and poison, etc.) that sounds vaguely 'grassy, but is mostly just noisy. One of the guys plays a banjo and we have a drummer, but we aren't ashamed.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

NEWSFLASH : Frontman believes entire world wants to hear about his hair.

Wow. Truly unbelievable. The timing of the previous post on this blog could not be anymore insulting to our fans. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a band gets back from a successful tour, they use...

Halfway through our 07 Tour.

Be patient with me: I'm typing this on a European keyboard - the letters are in the wrong place for my stupid American fingers. I may have to bail on this before I say everything I wish.I simply can't...

Two apologies, and another apology

The first two apologies concern the last two entries on this blog. You will not get those few minutes of your life back. Apparently when Lester enrolled into a CHRISTIAN university, in the middle of...

Will These Hands Across The Waters The Multidudinous Seas Incarnadine?

That subject heading deserves an explanation. You see, it's a reference to both McCartney and Macbeth and refers to our European tour (which was actually confined to the Benelux, but I'm really not fa...
