Nightbox

Indie // Wicklow

Nightbox are a five-piece indie/dance/rock band that formed in 2005 by two young brothers and their Irish mates while in high school, the band gained attention by winning the Blastbeat World Finals competing against bands from around the world in a Battle of the Bands in Dublin, Ireland. After extensive gigging throughout Ireland over the past 3 years , and an appearance at SXSW in 2008, Nightbox showcased at Oxegen 2009, voted Europe’s best festival. Press from that gig touted Nightbox as the “new favourite Irish band.”
Heineken music said "Nightbox are a band everybody's going to hear a lot more of in the future"
Their music is a mix of infectious hooks and addictive choruses, with some mash-ups of covers thrown in for a good time. The band, originally a 4-piece, has evolved with the addition of a synth/keyboard player, and is taking their music into a new direction, influenced by Dj's and dance music, which can be heard in their new material
Living in Ireland, the band has been influenced by the vibrant British indie/alternative music scene, and a lot of these influences can be heard in the band’s music. Nightbox are an energetic stage act and their enthusiasm for their music, and their fans can be seen in their live gigs.

Nightbox released their first five song EP last spring and includes the single and video "Addicted"

Nightbox are currently on an extensive Canadian club, concert and festival tour with performances scheduled at Canadian Music Week in Toronto, Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver and NXNE festival, Toronto
