The Shadowboxes are;
Az - guitars
Liz - drums, percussions and loud things
Mr. Gemini - bass guitar
Azy - keyboards and broken gadgets
Avex - vocals and pieces of paper
We are a band made up of very eclectic music fans. Liz for example, listens to Melody Gardot and Stacey Kent, and Muse, a lot. Mr Gemini usually jams in his iPhone 5 earphones on his bass to Alanis Morissette's records from the 90s. Az the guitarist actually really likes to pretend he's Pharrell Williams on drums. Avex just sings anything - currently while we're writing this, he's humming the melody from Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games'. Azy, while not playing keyboards with us, composes for film and is currently writing with conductor Tadaaki Otaka of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Yes, we think he's a freak too.
Melbourne is where we all grew up in and the idea of the band formed in 2008 after Avex moved back from a short 'Sydney' phase and decided that Melbourne brings out better "emo" thoughts therefore better music (LOL). We love our single-origin coffees and we love Avex for ocassionally taking us to nice fancy restaurants because he manages one himself at night. Beers from all regions in hidden outdoor pubs all around Melbourne is where our music come from - and technically we can't use our music as legal documents because most the time they're written while we're under influenced.
Everyone in the band plays and write with various other bands but Avex & The Shadowboxes as a unit perform only at secret gigs around Melbourne to invite-only crowds of 20-30 close friends and acquaintances a few times a year. We love our friends, we like to entertain and this is how we like to thank them for their support for our art. The after-gig (drunken) sexual innuendo-laced conversations we have with our fans usually turn into guitar riff and lyrics ideas the next afternoon. We thank you for your beautiful minds.
