So there are no other posts on the band yet and I would have thought that they were getting all the attention by now on here, but I guess no one knows Bolbox Rex has been added.
I would just like to say that I am really looking foward to their show on the 22 Feb with Stylus etc. To be honest, I haven't seen them live. I've heard recordings, and seen them on squeeze but unfortunitly I have not yet experienced the best part. From what I've heard, they are pure entertainment and that's what it's all about! Yeah?
The band have been around a year and already they're getting the hype from both the fans and the critics. I would say that is quite an achievement. Anyway...
More important than God's question, Jane - did you consider taking up the hosting position at Space yourself? Not dissing the newbies here - but you'd have done a fabulous job.
And Heather - since God is everywhere, why will his posting here stop blasphemy?
haha Heather - and not just a giant eye, but lets not go there. As soon as I posted, I knew you'd pick up on God knowing about Jane having the hots - methinks we have an imposter.
As for Jane being _the_ face of NZ music, I think its good to have a variety, but it just seemed to me that when Jane did the guest spot on Space last year, there was more space for her to be Jane, and it was good.
Well yes. I was at Marlborough Park in the weekend. I really enjoyed their set. Live music is all about entertainment, and bolbox rex was great at it!! Just ask anyone who was there.
I think they were so good at the free concert on Saturday, that I will pay $5 to see them at the King Arms.... if everything goes to plan.
Hey...
This is a message for Mike (Teague)... if you even read these messages!! Haha
Remember Max tv?
It's Carolyn! So good to see you ditched "The Pits" Saw you on "You Be the Judge" a few years ago now!! I'm so glad that you are rocking on, and getting out there!! I plan to come to one of your gigs at the Kings Arms soon... fingers crossed!! Hehehe
I'm just sooooooooooo happy for ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I saw you and Phoebe but you were busy talkin to some people so I didn't want to interrupt. It was nice to see you guys around, not just people on the telly and the radio.
So Bolbox Rex are in Palmerston North tonight at the Loaded Hog (with Stylus) and then in Wellington tomorrow night at Indigo (again with Stylus). Doors at 8.30pm and it's only 5 bucks. You really should go you know.
So Bolbox Rex are rounding up their tour with Stylus this Thursday 17th April at the Roadhouse in Papakura. Go along.
Failing that, they're playing with Foamy Ed at the King's Arms on Easter Sunday (20th April) - don't miss your chance to see these guys live... they're going to be having a wee break to write and record after these shows, so it's your last chance for a bit to catch the band that everyone's talking about.
Is "Severed Tongue" a parody song? I mean, check out the lyrics:
I got a severed tongue
I know it well
If this ain't what you think
Then go to Hell
That's all you need to know
That's all I'm gonna show
That's all you need to know
I dunno, I guess I've heard so much about Bolbox Rex. I was expecting greatness, but "Severed Tongue" just seems like a 30 second idea stretched out into a three minute song. B-side yes, hidden track yes, single no.
Yeah I've heard quite a bit about bolbox rex too. I've been to a few of their shows... and I enjoy seeing them play.
I seem to remember Mike saying once that he didn't put a lot of time in to his lyrics. Aparently in dayone, for ages he didn't write lyrics because no one could understand them anyway.
When I've seen Bolbox Rex play, they've come accross as good entertainment! In my opinion, that's what a band should be about rather than hidden deep and meaningful ideas disguised by lyrics for a room full of drunk people at their shows to understand. Not only are the band entertaining, but they actually sound good too!
I was gonna just say "go see them live" but Jane has already said that below.
Bolbox Rex are playing tonight (Easter Sunday) at the King's Arms to help Foamy Ed celebrate their EP release. Robyn, can I suggest you go along and see the live show before you cast any more judgements - they do have other songs afterall. I can see what you're saying, but let's not forget that many great songs are 30 second ideas stretched... take Radiohead's 'Lurgee' for example...
I feel better, I feel better now you've gone
I feel better, I feel strong
I got better, I got better now there's nothing wrong
I got better, I got better, I got strong
Tell me something, tell me something I don't know
Tell me one thing, tell me one thing and let it go
I got something, I got something heaven knows
I got something, I got something I don't know
also playing is holdfast, hamilton punk a pretty decent band too. are you going ms Yee? i'm going to be the retard on the door (apparently) and it'll be my first time seeing bolbox play live.
i actually preferred mike's stuff that he did with dayone, but i've still heard good things about them, so it'll be o-some to finally check them out
dude, i was impressed with the sound. i've only heard the one track that got played on channel z and i thought it so-so, but how can you not love a band that has a double kick, and starts the show with playing sabbath?
i feel kinda gutted that i had to sit on the door the entire time, and missed actually SEEING them, but i still reckon you deserve a rap on the knuckles for leaving during foamy ed.
When asked on bands.co.nz what NZ band they thought would be the next big export, Steriogram had this to say:
"As for next Kiwi export my money is on an amazing new Auckland band Bolbox Rex. I saw them play support for Pacifier last November at the Oracle and they have wicked songs"
Click the link for the full interview, it's interesting.
Excusey moi, but Ms B. Rex, sorry I mean Jane Yee, do you have shares in this band or something, or are you promised in matrimony to one of said band members?
hahaha... i have a stolen (im no thief) sticker on my door of bolbox!!! :D take that evil fiends! its real small but still it off a power pole! its pretty dang cool!
yeah it was the day of their show in the auckland uni quad. I was unable to make their show because of work but a friend of mine was given a couple of stickers. He went to Subway.. I had eaten so I stuck one outside McDonalds and the other next to the Burger King car park.
hey angsty, u went to the rock day out in marlborough park ay? cause i think i saw you takin lots of pics with a digital or something. anyway i'm pretty sure i saw you somewhere round there cause u live on the shore. i wouldve stuck those stickers somewhere a little less inconspicuous where they could be seen more. do you have any idea where i could get a couple of em from? thanks.
holy shit! im sorta sorry bout stealing ur sticker but seeing as i didnt actually take it off (no names given) but it still ended up on my door (she stuck it there not me) so sorry, but its pretty fuken cool, and thanks for it anyway :P u dont want it back do u? :S
that's all good. the sticker sticking was pretty random which is why it's so funny that you come in here and say that you took it :P
Yeah goosus I was at the Marlborough Park show. Those photos are up on the Local Output Website, next to a whole lot of other photos taken by other people on the day.
hehe, i was just down in link drive just now and was gonna go over to BK and take the other one but i dont really need to now coz i did wut jane sugested to goosus and emailed them for some :P

Would this be good? The face of NZ music?
