Boxer Rebellion Knocks Out Upcoming Concert Tour : October 11, 2011
Under the new name and a more mainstream sound, the band joined the PlayLouder competition, where they gained more popularity. In the summer of 2003, they landed at the New Bands tent of the Glastonbury Festival, after which, they got themselves a record deal from the label Poptones, owned by Alan McGee. The relationship would spawn the band’s 2005 debut EP ‘Exits’ and its lead single ‘Watermelon’, recognized as the group’s most popular track, but Poptones’ demise would render the band independent, a state which they carried on till present time.
In 2009, the band released their sophomore set and their first full-length indie effort, “Union’. Despite the album’s poor performance on the physical format charts (it only peaked at no.82 in the US and no.144 on the UK charts), its digital format made waves, charting at no.4 on the iTunes UK album chart, no.2 on the iTunes alternative chart, and was hailed as the “iTunes single of the week” during its first week in the digital market. It also spawned several singles which were used in various American TV shows such as Human Target and the CW long-running hit One Tree Hill (‘Semi-Automatic’), and Ghost Whisperer (‘Spitting Fire’). The film ‘Going the Distance’ also featured three tracks from the album: ‘Spitting Fire’, ‘Evacuate’ and ‘If You Run’.
Other American drama series such Grey’s Anatomy and 24/7 (‘Both Sides are Even’), NCIS (‘Caught by the Light’) and Royal Pains (‘Doubt’) also featured songs by the band, but this time, from their third and current full-length set, ‘The Cold Still’, which hit the shelves in February 2011. Among their noteworthy performances were the February 2, 2011 episode of The Late Show with David Letterman, where they performed ‘Both Sides are Even’ and prior to that, an appearance in the prestigious South by Southwest (SXSW) multimedia festival in Austin, TX in 2010.
Just recently, the band pulled the plug from their upcoming tour of the Americas kicking off in October 2011, which includes stops in the US, Canada and Mexico, citing “personal tragedy” as the reason. No word yet from the group if the shows will be rescheduled.
So you’ve been wearing out your copy of ‘The Cold Still’ since February breathlessly awaiting the upcoming Boxer Rebellion tour. It seems you are going to have to w [...]
