We are a band that has been working together since 1999. The band consists of 3 members, Jerry, Carson and Eric, we are still looking for a singer.
Why this name?
well, we are the off brand, the eclectic style that makes our music just a little different, we are bargain brand x
Do you play live?
Yes, Melbourne, Florida during the summer. These are live punk shows, not the electronic stuff we do in the offtime.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives real artists (that actually play instruments and write their own material) the opportunity to showcase their music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell no, these are the beasts we are trying to stay away from, besides, we are already on an independent, and we love them to death.
Band History:
BBX has been around for 3 years, produced 2 albums and has worked the underground scene in melbourne and gainesville Fl. When Jerry moved to gainesville to school, we began writing techno music for the clubbers, just to keep us busy until the summer when we all get together to kill the stage in the wildest shows ever.
