Boxes / Alameins Torch / Ribbon
Thursday, 27th June 2013
Half Moon Putney, 93 Lower Richmond Road, Putney, SW15 1EU
Indie-electro-pop hailing from South East LondonBoxes collides contagious melodies with messed-up synths, guitars & punching beats.... and makes melancholy feel like a warm summers day
A delicate balance of The Postal Service, Bright Eyes and The Killers
Boxes is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Carey Willetts
Carey is no stranger to success having spent the past 10 years as the bass player in multi-platinum selling indie band Athlete
When the band decided to take a break earlier this year Carey wasted no time in getting into the studio to work on his own material
After just a few demos it was clear that he had knack for writing delicate verses, coupled with huge choruses and a voice that could send shivers down the spine
The result was that he was offered a record deal in his own right within weeks and Boxes was born
Singles, Throw Your Stones and Silent Alarm and was warmly received by both press and radio with regular plays on XFM, 6 Music, Radio 1 & Radio 2. After playing 'Silent Alarm' for the first time on Radio One's Edith Bowman said "…It's brilliant!...I think it's great
I think it's so catchy; it's a lovely, lovely song
I'd like to play that more please." Boxes live is not your regular 4 or 5 piece band with drums & guitars etc
Expect something different
Expect visuals from 80s video games on retro TVs, looped beats and keyboards controlled by iPads and loop pedals… expect intimate and anthemic
Alameins Torch: 'Epic, catchy, organic, shout out loud' - "think cinematic wide screen, huge landscapes, multiple voices (everybody sings in this 8 piece band!) a mix of punchy hooks, anthemic choruses and subtle more ambient tracks - themes touching on the whole gamut of human emotion from fear to hope, joy and pain, life and death, certainties and unanswerable questions
Punk energy, thumping bass lines, through soulful emotion to intimacy with mature orchestration"
Jon Astley; Producer (Clapton, The Who, Tunstall, Gabriel)

--The BIG SHABANGABANG-- **Innovate Sierra Leone** 4 year birthday Celebration From Humble backyard Raves to Audio Visual Club Assaults.
* The Mission
~~~~~~~~~
The calling for conscience human beings to awaken is here !! As semi digital beings we progress into the future with an ignorant grasp of our surroundings, we are dumbfounded by technology and electro social distractions, as semi digital beings we must be aware of our ignorance and use the benefits of our technology to spread awareness to those who are less fortunate. To break away is to realize and acknowledge the damage others have made whilst we have slept, we must guide the tides of hunger famine and strife onto shores of wellness prosperity and happiness. Have we not slumbered for this long.
This is your reality do with it as you please ours is one of kinship, and we refuse to leave our own behind. The time to make a change has never stopped It has only been ignored this is our reminder to you that the struggle never ends . . . .
*The Charity
~~~~~~~~~
How do you transform societies where development and innovation are part of an intrinsic cultural fabric? How can you transform individuals from the passive role of users of technological advancements to active makers of the technology and solutions that will impact their nation?
We believe the answer lies in the youth and by instilling in them passion for the ingenuity and the diligence, required for innovation. This is exactly what Innovate Salone has done and is continuing to do. Innovate Salone is about the Now and Future of Sierra Leone. We challenge Sierra Leonean youths to design the solutions to complex problems in their local and national communities.
What Innovate Salone has demonstrated is that the youth are anxious for more ways to be at the forefront of the development of their country - whether that be through designing innovative technology with limited resources or changing educational mediums. There is a supply of bright, motivated and diligent youth ready to accept the challenge of building Sierra Leone into an Innovative Nation.
*The Party
~~~~~~~
In our efforts to raise money and awareness of the increasing global innovative culture of poverty stricken countries. We are donating our time and effort in the attempt to once again for the third time raise the funds to finance a youth program in a country laced with child soldiers and illegal mining of diamonds (Blood Diamonds - Yes its true !!).
For this we are transforming the entire Brown Alley Complex into a space for like minded individuals to connect celestially. With this we are creating an environment where aural meets visual in a dance of harmony.
Our Line up Consists of a blend of Australia's finest underground producers and djs. We do not like to conform to one subgenre of electronic music. Electronic Music has all always been for the people by the people, for rich or for poor. Planet Dooftune solidly aims to bring you the hardest working artists known around Australia old or new.
