BOR Musical Musings for May

Spring is here and with a "spring in our step" BOR looks forward to Cinco De Mayo as we perform at a new venue for us.. Caliente Kitchen in Delray. We'll perform during the DAY so it will be fun to see our fans basking in the light of the sun for a change (or will it?? HA!). May also continues our focus on finishing the mixes for our new album and doing some re-focusing on our original music after a very positive response at Pineapple Groove's original showcase last month. The "polls" show people LOVE our originals so we'll keep that going 'cause we LOVE em too :) PEACE!

April Musical Musings

As BOR cruises into April there's a lot to be excited about. In no particular order.. -Getting to perform our newer original tunes at the Acoustic Showcase Wed. April 6th at Pineapple Groove. A COOL new venue in Delray looking to support ORIGINAL local artists and being THE ultimate place to experience top notch local, regional, and national acts. -More great gigs around Delray including a return to O'Connors on April 8th! -The ever elusive "completion" of our newest CD "Going For The Gun" is finally within reach as we make uber progress on final tracks and mixes this month.

Busy March for BOR

3 gigs in Delray this month... Continueing "Going For The Gun" sessions at Lil Pink studios.. Yes "Box of Rocks" are busy.. and VERY happy about it!!!

Vocals for new album tracked at Lil Pink this week

3 of the 8 songs on our upcoming release "Going For The Gun" had the vocal tracks recorded this week. Very pleased with the progress and very pleased with what we're capturing at Lil Pink Studios with Thom Welte at the board! He is getting great sounds for us. More to come!!!

"Going For The Gun" back on "tracks"

Finally completed the backing/rythm electric guitar tracks last night for our now 3 years in the making.. next album "Going For The Gun". Our motto this year: "Look forward.. NOT back" will get this project done at last. The search now begins for a suitable session player or players to add the needed lead guitar tracks and help on some Hammond sounding type keyboard beds for some of the tunes. ANYONE? ANYONE?

Working the web this year!

Hey BOR FANS! Well as 2011 gets into gear "Box of Rocks" is reaching out to better connect and represent on-line. It's the chicken and egg syndrome.. we want to connect with more people.. but they need to know about us to connect with us in the first place. We shall see what ultimately develops. Will it be business (or lack there of) as usual? or will our updated on-line tools increase our exposure. We'll find out soon enough. At the very least we hope to TRULY connect with as many of you as we can at one of our shows so get out there and check out "The Best In Acoustic Rock & Beyond" real soon. And God forbid you can't.. please engage and share with us here, facebook, etc. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! -Berlo
