About the boy from space

The Boy From Space landed in a pub in Stoke-on-Trent in June 1999. Brothers Marshall Ward and Dr Boox realised no one was going to record the music they wanted to hear (although The Pizzicato Five came close). So, armed with the winnings from a local pop quiz they set out to the record the kind of music which seemed only to be found floating around in their heads; developing a sound which seemed worlds apart from the usual MTV focus group and boardroom inspired bands. Having received great reviews in the local press and a ‘Band of the Week’ slot on the Reelscreen.com web site, they realised they weren’t the only ones who felt anthemic guitar rock had had it’s day and promptly signed to Native records. Frustrated by the slow pace, and paranoid that someone would ‘get there first’, after two years they decided to go-it-alone, and set up Interstella Sounds in June 2003. Since then their debut live performance got them in the top 10 of a national competition organised by the London Institute of Contemporary Music; they have played the Dublin Castle and The Pleasure Unit amongst other gigs and have just released their second single Don’t Call Me Sir, available now from www.Interstella.co.uk Fuelled by the incompatibility of Marshall Ward’s obsession with Japanese pop music, Dr Boox’s love of classical music and dead end office jobs. The Boy From Space have developed a unique sound and equally bizarre outlook on life. With two singles, and an album ready for release, the only thing stopping them heading back into the stratosphere (or perhaps lower troposphere) is said office jobs and the obligatory cash-flow anomalies … but of course all that is soon to change. If you don’t believe me, read this review from the Salisbury Journal. “Insanely great or greatly insane? It’s weird, unorthodox, a little crazy and well weird all over again – a sort of dance pop concoction mixed with utter insanity.” Cobi Murphy.
