...it should be finished next week, and release soooon...

This is a beautiful song

Do i have to make all the comments :P

Deluxeboy are a 4-piece from Christchurch, comprising of brothers Matt (guitars/vocals) and Joe Barus (bass/vocals), Tim McLeod (guitars/keys) and Graeme Jackson(drums). They have release a single "Three Million Odd People", which also feature "Shadowboxer". An album and new video(!!) are on the way...sooooon.

*TRUE*, Adrian Palmer was their drummer until he was 'forced' to leave to concentrate on that other band, ZED.

For more information...

In the middle of seoul korea. just blasted shadowboxer through the walkan and i realised how proud i am of new zealand music.
this is a track i would play with pride to anyone, anywhere in the world. it definitly sounds international, wheres the album i ask myself?

ON the way...coming...coming....

always reminds be of being home in chch, cruising along the port hills. magic!

The boys will be playing this weekend @ the 4 and Rotatry nationals at the Westpac trust centre in Chch :) at 10;45 or something

THey were good, BIG UPS to Matty for letting us in :) and for the Ikon...sorry about your jacket Jo!!

matt let you in *psh* i could've saved myself $12! nice set. good to see them again. can't wait till they come up to auckland in may :D

I think i know who YOU are...i talked to you @ the gig!

*scary* haha nah. yeah ya did *waves hello* :D

HI!! :D howz Akl...:)

very different from back home! it's taking awhile to get use to aye. it's alright here, but i'd still rather be back in chch!

I'm gonna see them tomorrow night, playing @ the Op Shop ball... I'll post back on Saturday & tell yas how it was

Nah, didn't like... Not rocky enough, not anything enough. I liked the band b4 them, but they were just kinda lame... Shameless self-promotion in there too.

each to their own i guess. they are VERY pop, but they're great guys. who was on before them?

4 Man Bob, they were kinda swing/ska -ish.
Yeah, I just didn't enjoy Deluxeboy that much.

I love 4 man bob. And I love deluxeboy. The bob are SKA - all the way! And all so very talented. But you really really can't compare a ska band with a poprock band... it's WRONG

YAY i went to the Op Shop Ball! It was fun! 4 Man bob were really fun, i liked Deluxeboy too, thanks again to Matty for letting us in...:) and to Chris & Si and the 4YP crew for a great night!...haha i might have even seen you, Megaccino!

Lol, yeah, there were so few ppl we prob did see each other. 4 Man Bob were so cool. What were Deluxeboy talking about?? What was that orange juice thing??
Did you see the 2 guys in drag? (of course you would of!) Them & their friends are mates or something with my friends boyfriend & his brother. We were pretty embarrassed :S
Umm, if you don't mind saying, what were you wearing? I might remember you.

The orange juice thing...i think someone had peed in a jara nd put it on the stage...um, cool?
I was wearing a blue halter neck dress...and bare feet...and you?

Too late now, I don't remember any specific people now. Ummmm... I was wearing a grey/silver tank top & a long blue skirt. I had shoes, but ditched them for bare feet.

Yes, too long :& Did u go to the Dux?

nope. I don't think I'd bother going to see just Deluxeboy play though anyway.

Ahaha true

I love deluxeboy....:)
thanks to matt who also got me in free..... :)
i had a great time...:)
YAY!
peace love and respect.
-deluxeboy aren't pop! they are soft rock... thankyou very much..

IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Bugger! Would have liked to see them if they were playing out while I was in Christchurch 2 years ago..

deluxe were up here in the 09 in the weekend. they played over on the shore (WAY too far away from where i live) but i was staying the night over there. they were playing with zed and it was $20, so that was 2 good reasons not to go!! i was having dinner across the road from where they were playing and after dinner i went a had a quick listen through the window while i was waiting for everyone to pile into a taxi. heard 'my design' sounded pretty good. has graham left now? *could only see matt and jo thru the window*

Yeah, Graham has left, new drummer Greg Donaldson, very good.

Deluxeboy @ the Dux, 29th May 2002: brilliant! The video looked great the reaction was great, i looked great :D (spot the air guitarist wearing the Steriogram singlet) my favourite track of the nite was the long dancy one @ the end...its always a winner. I got a playlist off Jos amp but i forgot to see what the last song was called. Next single will be "All Gone Now"

I love deluxeboy!! Ohhhh man I miss Graham :-( it's sad not having him in town to talk to. And I miss Heavy Jones Trio.

Go deluxeboy! go Greg (he rocks). I like Cut-to-the-girls

Finally they get a deluxeboy page - and they spell the name wrong!!!

HOORAY for Deluxeboy and all the wonderful ppl who voted for 'Cliche' on MoreFM Christchurch over the last week - the battle for "Fly or Die" supremacy was won and Deluxeboy retired undefeated last nite :D Well done dudes.

not 2 stress any1 out but i heard that the wicked band we know as deluxeboy is breaking up and their last gig is in sep ....does any1 no anything about this or is it all an evil rumour ?

As you prolly know by now Tims going to Aus and they're looking for a new person but its being publicised as their final gig
rahderahderah

i hope it's an evil rumor!!!!!!

according to the Dux website they are playing their final gig tonight... its very sad... does anyone know what the rest of the band are going to do now?

did anyone go to that final gig @ the dux?
i read somewhere that deluxeboy are still recording their album which will hopefully be out before christmas..and they are going to be coming back bigger and better.... Sounds good!
where did graham disappear too?

I did, they totally rocked da haus in my little old opinion... Age and Ben from Zed also turned up to do the honourable thing for Tim, he looked like he has a blast so I hope he enjoyed it as much as well all did (if not more). Matt and Jo did a ukelele version of that Sha Na Na song "Goodnight Sweetheart" for him at the end... it was hilarious :D Thanks guys!

Graham left us all and headed up to Wellington. :'-( AND HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY A PROPER GOODBYE!!!!!

sorry 'bout the typos :(

Tim's off to Melbourne (which I MUST say is where I'm at today!!) and for some STRANGE reason so are half the other nz musos. I've been listening to Melbourne's musical talent - and honestly (I'm not being biased - much) the gigging bands out here aren't half as impressive as some of the talent we have back home.

This song always makes me think of sitting on the couch at matty's work and playing his flat mate's guitar - while me and jane froze our asses off!

matt is very sexy i got to go in his car (a lot of you are so much more obsessed than me but he is so cute aye?)

Well, D'Boy has a following! You boys don't really deserve it due to being so slack and not producing any new music for the starved world. Can't break the rock scene eh? Where are you???? Jump on the wild stallion and make your way through! The world should not have to kept so long.

Hey, sort ya shit out! We're all waiting,,,,,,,,,,yawn.....

ROTFLMFAO.

Boys changed their name!!

DUKES

Yay!
