BoomBox Announces Winter Tour, Releases Video for "Me and My Baby"

As the electronic music scene moves more into the mainstream (five Grammy nominations for Skrillex . . . WHAT?), it's not uncommon to see up-and-coming acts trading live instrumentation and improvisation - two things that in earlier days defined the scene - for pre-recorded tracks and laptop deejaying. 

Such has not been the case for the producer-guitar player duo BoomBox. In fact, quite the contrary. With each new release, this group from Muscle Shoals, AL continues to push the envelope and add to their constantly evolving sound.

Yesterday, the group comprised of Zion Rock Godchaux (yes that Godchaux) and Russ Randolph announced a string of winter tour dates along the East and West Coasts, with stops in North and South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Nevada and California with a strong supporting cast including Eliot Lipp, Govinda, ill-esha, Bitch Please and Chris B.

Along with their announcement, the boys released the previously unrecorded single "Me and My Baby" as well as a music video for the tune, filmed at their sold out Aggie Theatre show in Fort Collins, CO this past October. 



This track is a great representation of how far the band has come in defining their sound, which at its core is truly rock and roll. Godchaux's vocals cascade over the melodic and uplifting soundscapes - created with live synthesizers and electronic drums by both Godchaux and Randolph - as the pulsating bass and ever-present backbeat set the mood for the groove. 

By utilizing live guitar in addition to synths, drums and produced tracks, BoomBox combines psychedelic funk and untz-y house vibes to create the ultimate dance party. Download the track for free by clicking here.
