Imagine reading a book that totally turned you on. Then, the title of the book becomes the name of your band. And you like robots. Time travel. And The Beatles formed your first love of music. Can you imagine that?
Good. Because then you dressed weird. Dyed your hair. Got into Joy Division, The Kinks, Kraftwerk, and computers.
And you became Anything Box

Do you play live?
We love to play! We've been to Germany, South America and most of the USA.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
These would be my terms....
1. You don't own anything, you lease.
2. I use your muscle to promote and press
3. I give you a piece of my earnings
In few years, this will be their position.
