The Boxing Lesson = A psychedelic progressive indie space rock band from Austin, TX.
We are a power trio that uses synthesizers in place of a traditional bassist.
We love vintage Fender gear, analog synths, space echos, classic guitar tones, and outerspace too.
We are HEARTBROKEN that our founding drummer Jake Mitchell was sentenced to federal prison in 2008 for conspiracy to manufacture marijuana. FREE JAKE MITCHELL!
UPDATE: We are in the process of writing and recording new material right now and we are excited with the direction it's all heading. There are lots of Texas shows on our schedule this summer and we are planning a west coast tour for August 2009. I'm sure we'll all cross paths soon...

BIOGRAPHY : STARDATE 2009
After releasing two EPs in Los Angeles, songwriter Paul Waclawsky left the haze for the heat of Austin, Texas, where he found a new line up and new inspirations. Jaylinn Davidson and Jake Mitchell share the exact same birthday and an affinity for synths, sampling and improvisation. Jaylinn's synth bass and leads connect with Jake's explosive evolving rhythms to form a hybrid rhythm section. Part organic. Part Electronic. Part Outer Fucking Space. It's definitely Psychedelic. It drones. It oscillates. It feedbacks. It sings. Inspired by synthesizer exploration and joined by producer Tim Gerron in the studio, the band recorded and released Songs in the Key of C in 2006 and played a blizzard of shows at home and on the road.
In 2008, The Boxing Lesson released their debut full length album, Wild Streaks & Windy Days. It’s a simultaneously modern and classic journey through the dark side of the conscious mind. These new tracks explore the contrasts between dark and light, love and lust, sacrifice and indulgence. Jaylinn Davidson’s Brian Eno-esque Moog synthesizer landscapes pump these haunting songs full of moody goodness and we find Jake Mitchell, as always, in the ether drumming out of his head. Lead boxer, Paul Waclawsky, flexes his songwriting muscles and his space echoes and creates epic sonic guitar textures that are psychedelic and lush, like Cassiopia A, the Birthplace of Stars.
Independent of comparison, the 12 tracks on Wild Streaks & Windy Days define The Boxing Lesson’s own brand of psychedelic progressive rock, as they traverse into the unknown territory of their own lives, their own indulgences and the road that lay ahead.
