Now a raw Amsterdam soul band anchored in the sounds of the legendary Stax and Kent labels gushes popcorn from its first CD – Popcorn 69 showing why it is fast emerging as one of the most exciting line-ups on the European club scene. Born of love for soul, boogaloo and R&B, Juicebox does more than keep alive the traditions that inspire it. These are the sounds of the late 1960s but rendered by musicians with the impulse of another generation: an authentic soul band with a respect for roots but blessed with the invention that characterized the originals.
Juicebox, in other words, has not stood still. Nor have the audiences who have been kicking up their heels in such Amsterdam venues as the immortal Paradiso, De Melkweg, Vrijevloer, De Kring, Club Vegas, the Sugar Factory and Fietsfabriek. “When the deaf hear and the lame dance we know are getting something right” says Juicebox founder, tenor sax and flute player Rob Berends.
The band was formed in 2003 although the eight members have enriched the Amsterdam soul and blues scene for years and played with the likes of Jimmy James and the Blue Flames, Alton Ellis, Rico Rodriquez, Rude Rich and the High Notes, Hans Dulfer and Wally Tax.
Not surprisingly, Juicebox taped Popcorn 69 in the converted prison cells of the High Notes Studio, using non-digital (analogue) equipment and 1960s instruments, a subtlety reflected in the raw excitement of the album.

Just got a call from a friend, they said they lost an angel.. Shhh, I didn't tell them where you were, because I wanted to keep you forever :) Send this to all of your True Friends including me if I am one. I sent an angel to watch over you last night, but it came back. I asked, "Why?"... The angel said: "Angels don't watch over angels!" If one day you feel like crying, call me. I don't promise that I will make you laugh, but I can cry with you. If one day you want to run away, don't be afraid to call me. I don't promise to ask you to stop, but I can run with you. If one day you don't want to listen to anyone, call me. I promise to be there for you but also promise to remain quiet. But one day if you call and there is no answer, come fast to see me. Perhaps I need you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk or how close you are and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. Twenty angels are IN Your World. Ten of them are sleeping. Nine are playing.
