Goodman For those of us who grew up in the 80's, listened to the Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo soundtrack, wore Moonpants, and danced on pieces of old cardboard and linoleum, well, we know what boom boxes are. Or at least what they were. How about a new BoomBox, especially one that takes old school styles and combines them with Beck, Gorillaz, St.
Germain, AND delivers live performances that have the entire Southeast turning their heads. Would you check it out? Formed about three years ago, BoomBox is not your traditional group. Zion Godchaux and Russ Randolph came together while working on an album that Zion was collaborating on with his mother, former Grateful Dead member Donna Jean Godchaux. Russ was engineering the record and the two connected immediately. After forming in late , BoomBox spent most of in the studio developing both their sound and their unique approach to live performance.
Since then, they've been refining that sound, which has stirred up a nice buzz with promoters, media, and other bands. At the time they met, Randolph was tired of playing in traditional bands. He says, "I had pretty much given up, too much of a pain in the ass, not fun nor fulfilling, either musically or creatively.
Together, they had an original vision of what they wanted to do and where they wanted to go. In the mid 90's Zion was a DJ in the San Francisco house music scene, and pondered the possibility of fusing DJ tracks with live instruments. A decade later that fusion has come to fruition with BoomBox. With musical influences from house to the Grateful Dead, Zion says his vision is "not just jamming live, but to write full songs in dance format like a singer-songwriter, retaining the lyrics, the melody, and the song.
It's the best of both worlds, something everybody could groove and have a good time with. But, when the show was over they could still take away the meaning and the songs as a whole.
What began as local gigs and playing aftershows has blossomed into a full-blown touring act. With one studio release under their belts, they're working on remixing some live tracks for a new album.
By the overwhelmingly positive reaction to their debut, their rapidly growing fan base, and Randolph and Zion's infectious dedication to their music, their legitimacy seems almost inevitable. Despite their unique instrumentation, every song does have a somewhat traditional structure which they're able to flesh out live. They jokingly say that "we share one brain between the two of us," which is evident in the way they finish each other's sentences and thoughts.
Onstage, they are "two people as an extension of one DJ" and the chemistry between them is undeniable. So, what does the future hold for BoomBox? We want to keep everything fresh and new, and exciting for us as musicians.
We want to take it as far as it will go," says Randolph. Zion adds, "It's still a mystery to us. We know the path we're on will have twists and turns but we have a good idea where we are going now. I'm blown away by what is possible and am happy to experience the adventure. Russ Randolph and Zion Godchaux are boldly going where no one else would ever want to go. I'm just having some fun with them, but this great sound is really very technical and is the first of its kind.
The sound is live and created by multi-track sequencing with a mix of live vocals and guitar. It should make you want to move. You hear it in everything that BoomBox has done thus far. Over the course of five albums, the group has become a streaming favorite with numerous tracks cracking a million plays on Spotify.
In the end, the new music kicks off the brightest and boldest chapter yet for Godchaux. Can add 3 piece horn section and percussion.
