Junkbox are Darren Van-Asten (Guitar/Vocals), John Devolle (Guitar) and Shoko Ariba (Drums). They paths originally crossed whilst studying art at college in London some 5 years ago, all had been in various bands and made music before so eventually they got together as a band themselves and have been playing together/writing stuff since July 2002. Their music is very simple, trashy, blues-based, with two guitars and drums, (no bass) they write short songs, that do the job.
Their first gig took place at 'Armpit' in Liverpool a venue which they built themselves with 'Gelatin' as part of the Liverpool Biannial arts festival 2002 (See photos on the pictures page). They played 3 nights, in Liverpool, after having two guitars stolen on the first night they played the following two nights with 1 guitar, drums and vocal, despite the theft a good time was had by all.
Junkbox deliver with fervour, bite and intent. This could sound so derivative, it could sound prehistoric, but it doesnt. it is a throbbing, intense message, delivered in the clearest, quickest sentence.
Junkbox recently received some radio airplay courtesy of John Peel (RIP) & Rob Da Bank(Radio1), Alan Mcgee (Radio 1) and John Kennedy and Claire Sturgess on XFM.
