About Me

THE SONGS IN MY PLAYER ARE OF REAL POOR MP3 QUALITY IN ORDER TO FIT. THEY ARE ALSO ROUGH 15-30 MINUTE MIXES AND AREN'T NEARLY FINISHED. THE CD IS OF MUCH HIGHER QUALITY!

Charlie.in.the.box is the creation and alter ego of one man...Tony Bitetti. At the ripe age of 17 he decided to regroup after an uncomfortable stretch as a solo performer. Unfortunately in his area there wasn't much for collaborating talent, but he moved on nonetheless. Coming up with the name from one of his favorite Christmas movies, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. As the founding and only true member of Charlie.in.the.box. Someday he hopes to cement a line-up of musicians as a band, but he will have to wait.

I'm really tired of arrogant biographies for bands on myspace.

"Did we listen to pop music because we were miserable?
Or were we miserable because we listened to pop music?"
