Bionic



There are at least three artists with this name: 1. A Canadian rock band 2. A British rock band 3. An American rock band Sandbox was a Canadian alternative rock music group originally from Pictou County, Nova Scotia. The band consisted of Paul Murray on vocals, Mike Smith and Jason Archibald on guitar, Scott MacFarlane on bass and Troy Shanks on drums. Their most well known single is Curious, from their debut album Bionic. Following the dissolution of the band, guitarist Mike Smith went on to play Bubbles, a popular character in the Canadian cult hit television series Trailer Park Boys.[1] They were nominated for Best New Group at the Juno Awards of 1996. They also won three East Coast Music Awards. SandboxUK is Lennie (Vocals/Guitar); Paul (Guitar); Andy (Drums) & Will (Bass/Keyboards), a four piece indie band from Manchester. They are four friends that met whilst at school/college and bonded through a shared love of 90s indie, when the world was a nicer place and everybody was happy! They have been described as Blondie fronting The Smiths by Designer Magazine, Sandbox have rapidly gained a reputation as one of the best live acts in Manchester since releasing their third EP, 'Back to the City', thanks to a number of high profile support slots including opening up for Howling Bells, Mobile, The Checks and Tokyo Police Club. As 2008 draws to a close, Sandbox are rounding the year off in a truly hectic style. After recently playing at The Aftershow’s 1st Birthday party, they have gigs booked all over Manchester, which culminates in their annual Christmas Ball in December. They’re also featuring as part of a year long exhibition at Salford Art Gallery which traces the history of music in Salford. The exhibition, ‘Quiffs, Riffs and Tiffs’, opens in October! The band are also putting the finishing touches to their new ep… All of which should keep them occupied and out of mischief for the time being! www.myspace.com/sandboxuk --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandbox is a high-energy four piece band that is at the top of their game. With regular appearances in Las Vegas, Disneyland and top-notch resorts, sandbox can make any event come alive with life. This is one act where every person in the band is exciting to watch. From Tomasina Abate's boundless energy and dance moves to the stick twirling head bobbing antics of drummer Scotty Kormos, to the bass swinging Bruff Brigham and of course the blazing guitar wizardry of Roger Cain. The unique thing about this act is that they can go from modern rock to classic rock; old disco to new dance and never miss a beat. Collectively the members of sandbox have toured the world, recorded major TV and Film projects and have appeared on scores of TV shows, both nationally and internationally.
