O2 Academy Liverpool – March 2010


This Sunday sees BAND IN A BOX return with a bigger and better event than ever before. Not satisfied with running events that included high quality filming and presentation, the team got together to come up with an all new format. So what has changed? Well for starters we have changed venue and Liverpool’s o2 academy is where you will find this event. In fact, we are looking to book most o2 academy’s across the U.K for our event. As well as Liverpool, Sheffield and Birmingham are already booked for May and June respectively. We are still filming our events using 3 HD cameras and an experienced film crew and still offering great live film packages to all bands looking for additional promotion material. But to make our event really stand out amongst the crowd is the prize we have on offer. One band on the night will win a FULL SCALE MUSIC VIDEO written, produced and directed by us. This is the most lucrative prize we have at our disposal, and is something most bands simply cannot afford in normal circumstances. As far as we aware no company has ever set up an event like this with such a premium prize on offer.
Here is a line up of the bands performing on Sunday evening
The Harmonics : www.myspace.com/theharmonicsuk
This young, energetic 4 piece have a vibrant sound with some fantastic harmonies complimenting there unique style. Their talent is evident on stand out track Soley Road which is reminiscent of the late 60’s and the Beatles revolution.
Callum McMorran : www.myspace.com/callummcmorran
With an array of quality songs at his disposal, this young man is moving in one direction and that’s upwards. He’s gained his reputation through hard work and some stand out performances, whether that be with his full band or solo acoustic shows. Check out “To leave you”, an absolute belter of a tune.
The Little Hydes : www.myspace.com/thelittlehydes
A band who just know how to produce wonderful melodies and sing along songs. Stand out track is “Absolute youth”, capturing the essence of summer and has a real feel-good factor about it.
Fidel Afro : www.myspace.com/fidelafroband
You only have to listen to “Don’t tell your mother” to hear the talent within this band. Plus if anyone else can find a better designed t shirt than what they have please do let us know!
Hippys On The Hill : www.myspace.com/hippysonthehill
You will be rubbing your eyes in disbelief once this great band takes to the stage. How they produce such amazing music for a band so young defies logic, but that’s what they do time and time again. Not your average pop band, no way. These guys Rock, and they do it with a swagger and conviction that would put most bands to shame. A fitting band to headline this Sundays event.
So there you have it, the line up has some of the best bands Liverpool has to offer and we believe we have one of the best events in the making. All that is needed now is you, the fan of music to get yourself down to the o2 this Sunday and support your favourite band.

Band in a Box Live is back & even better event than ever before. Not satisfied with running events that included high quality filming and presentation, the team got together to come up with an all new format. So what has changed?

The Bo Weevils

We first came across the Bo Weevils back in February after meeting the bands founder Stephen Buhagiar at a Love Haiti Benefit Event in the Cavern Club in Liverpool. So impressed by the musicians raw talent Band In A Box TV wanted to meet the rest of the band.

With a recently stabilised lineup of musicians the Bo Weevils are a solid quartet from Merseyside who boast a high octane performance with an attitude suitable for a Guy Richie film. Taking their influences from blues and soul music combined with the essence of britpop. The band are distinctly unique, not to mention they have their lead vocalist on drums.
