You’ve found Living In A Box! Yes, we are still here and very much alive despite our own best efforts, during the 80’s, to shorten our collective life expectancies. We are very proud to announce that Bryan J. Chambers will be taking over the lead vocal spot from Richard for some exciting live shows this year. Richard felt that he didn't want to continue working in the music business for now and Tich and I totally respect that. Bryan, step up my man.... welcome to the band!
It’s hard to imagine now but when Living In A Box first came on the scene in 1987, email didn’t exist, websites were a futuristic fantasy and the mobile telephone was the size of a petrol can! Thanks to the recent explosion in networking sites, video sharing sites and music download sites, music fans the world over are now discovering bands they may have missed first time round and die hard ‘archivists’ are rediscovering bands they may have funked out to, off their faces on cheap beer, in the Student’s Union back in the day. As foraging music fans ourselves we’ve often discussed setting up a site for fans old and new but, until recently, we weren’t convinced anyone would be interested in the enigmatic Living In A Box.
Big On YouTube A month or so ago, a friend of ours mentioned in passing, that the video for Living In A Box had received over 2,500,000 views on YouTube. Staggering! If we ever needed a green light to pull everything together needed for a website, that was it. So, welcome whatever your reason for visiting us. If you’re new, we hope you’ll appreciate what all the fuss was about and what a good noise we made with a few synths, a drum machine and one of the greatest blue-eyed soul voices of all time. If you are a dyed in the wool, committed ‘Box’ fan.... welcome back, we’ve missed you!
Marcus, Tich and Bryan. xxx
