Electronic rock duo BoomBox, consisting of brothers Zion Rock Godchaux and Kinsman MacKay bring heavy organic grooves and soulful beats that penetrate through the dancefloor, and on to all facets of the human experience
Founded in Muscle Shoals, AL in 2004 by singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Zion Rock Godchaux, BoomBox has grown and evolved alongside loyal fans across the globe. At the same time, the San Francisco Bay Area native stays true to the vibrations that have been moving bodies on the dancefloor since the beginning.
BoomBox has a signature type of groove rooted in a back-beat driven style, wrapped around smooth vocals and original lyrics. BoomBox songs also pull from a wide range of genres to cultivate a fusion of music that appeals to a broad audience. “The sound is about pulling from anything that you’d hear coming out of a boombox, and distilling into a distinctive style,” explains Godchaux. It’s this formula that gives BoomBox the unique ability to connect with any crowd regardless of age or origin.
“There’s a special kind of chemistry between two brothers playing music together,” says Godchaux. BoomBox shows are characterized by a mixture of drum machines and live-mixed computer beats laid down by Mackay, which create the foundation for Godchaux’s electric guitar riffs and soulful vocals to layer on top of.
BoomBox debuted their live horn section deemed “The BackBeat Brass” in the fall of 2019 to great reception. “It’s like these songs are my children that I’ve been raising for the past 15 years, and with the addition of the horns it feels like seeing them again for the very first time” says Godchaux. Led by trumpet artist Nic Chaffee and Saxophonist Robbie Covacevich, the BackBeat Brass will be featured on select shows moving forward. The two bring a classic live horn sound filtered through an array of psychedelic effects and elements that exquisitely integrates with the music that BoomBox fans know and love.
In addition to touring with their live sets, the duo can also be found dropping down and dirty DJ sets at special club and festival appearances. Regardless of which form of BoomBox you may encounter, be prepared to be getting down like there’s no tomorrow.
These guys are insanely boring live. They should have an entire band not just a computer guy and a guitarist. At the very least these guys NEED a bass player. I would not see these guys again.
Great show! Boombox was a lot of fun, that's for sure.
Always a vibetastic dance party with power duo Boombox. I recall myself saying, " I will love Boombox forever!" Till next time guys. Love.
Such a live show, diverse crowd. They played non-stop for hours
Bought tickets to see Boom Box play from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Left this venue after 10:00 and BoomBox never came on stage. Very-very-very disappointing. When I asked one of the "Staff Event" people, I was told that BoomBox would play until 1:00. Well that's not what my ticket said, that's not what was advertised. Also Port City Music Hall is advertised as a DINNER THEATER, this was no dinner theater, it was just a regular BAR. We came from out of town with a 2 hour travel and hotel accomodations, all for nothing. I have been to different venues to see BoomBox and Port City Music Hall is definitely the WORST !!!!
Planned this even with a group of friends from all over, who usually go see phish together. All felt it was wayyyy better than expected. One of the best nights I have ever had. Great crowd, lots of fun, lots of DaNcin!!
Had an amazing time! Great band, nice venue, definitely an awesome night :) I have seen this band once before in Boston, cannot wait to see them again!
The music was absolutely amazing! I loved the entire set. Great stage presence, and they really knew how to read the crowd.
I was really bored at the show it was a lot of standing around with nobody doing anything so I went home early.
Aside from a minor hiccup where the guy dressed like a bunny and an extremely tall blonde dude scrapped for a second, the concert was epic as per usual. The ordeal only lasted a second, just enough time to knock me and my beer over. The opener was slightly weak, she had talent no doubt but something was off with the sound where it felt like it wasn't utilizing all the speakers that The Paradise had to offer. Boombox was flawless, they came on around 10 and jammed till closing time. The music was loud, funky, fresh and magical, awesome vibes. It was a tight squeeze towards the front of the crowd but fairly lax around the edges. The venue itself could have definitely used more bartenders, that was the biggest pain all night but other than that, Boombox rules and The Paradise is a better venue than some of its competitors here in Boston. (Cough, cough.. House of Rules)
I don't usually review shows, but this show was pretty heady. Great performance, great vibes, venue was perfect size, could see the show from anywhere. The crowd was awesome. Everyone was great and funkin' out having an incredible time.
These guys are just groovy and a good time. Nothing out of the ordinary but definitely bring a out a good easy going crowd.
good venue. great music. unique sound. beautiful women.
It was sold out and the Brighton music hall is a small venue but there was still plenty room to get down. It was one big dance party from start to finish, if only they we're let back on stage for an encore.
Second time seeing Boombox and they put on an amazing show. Definitely worth seeing if you have the opportunity.
always funky, fun, and full of good vibes!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable concert, would definitely recommend any Boombox show.
Great Music Great Venue Just Great I highly recommend this place.
Fanfreakintastic. I love Boombox and this was a dream to go. Funk daddies delivered. Some sets were a bit lengthy, get ready to groove.
Boombox killed it at Bowery Ballroom. Really good stuff.
