Outbox
Outbox are Scotland's first "Frock band". A fusion of Folk and Rock with an acoustic edge
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed off the back of "evo", Mike and Billy (drummer turned bassist for this project) got together with producer and drummer Steve Curtis for an acoustic event at The Lemon Tree in 2003. Adding Rachael Wood in 2004 on keys/vocals took Outbox to a new level, and it all kicked off. The new material features Fionn Patrick on lead guitar.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We've played a number of significant live gigs. We headlined at the last night of London Fashion Week and have had one or two showcase gigs.
