Shadowboxer
Shadowboxer is an 'acoustic electronica' project comprised of Aidan O'Brien (based in Yateley, Hampshire) and Hayley Martin (based in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire oddly enough). The pair have been actively writing together since mid 2006, conquering their 150 mile division by exchanging ideas over the internet and making time for recording their tracks and playing the odd acoustic show inbetween University terms.
They are currently in the process of writing their first EP, and the two tracks which can be heard on this page are examples of their results so far. To contact the band, either message this account by clicking here or e-mail them directly at shadowboxer@shadowboxer.co.uk.Have you performed in front of an audience?We're working up to that at the moment.
