BlackboxRed is loud, grunge, sexy and danceable. This duo is blasting off stage with guitars, drums and synthesizer. It's time to dance to the grunge! A male drummer and a female guitarist from Friesland (the very north of Holland): two opposites in gender, differing 6 sizes in shoes, 350 days of age and 20 kilos in weight. Together they make a raw combination of grunge, blues and electro that encourages the crowd to start dancing. With their strong DIY attitude they already achieved a lot and constantly keep challenging themselves. They're influenced by many grunge and electronic music like: Crystal Castles, Blood Red Shoes and The Dead Weather. In their live performance BlackboxRed takes over the stage; both in front and letting the energy and chemistry take force. -- In August 2011 the band took a trip to the French countryside to record their EP “Battle the Sparrows”. This 6-song album is released in Oktober 2011 in cooperation with Dying Giraffe Recordings -- Achievements: •Lowlands Festival 2010 •Grote Prijs van Nederland 2010 (biggest band contest of Holland) •Eurosonic 2011 •Freesonica band coaching project 2011 •Recorded a track with Jagz Kooner (for the reproduction of The Clash-London Calling at the Un-Convention Factory, London) •Popronde 2011 •EP 2011: Battle The Sparrows ( Label: Dying Giraffe Recordings)
