Cream Calendar / Whatevs Billy Bob and the Boxmasters at Grimey's Sept. 19
Posted by D. Patrick Rodgers on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 1:32 PM
Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters describe themselves as a “1960s-era mod band whose upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically.” Personally, I’d just call them a B- country band with a C- vocalist and some damn goofy lyrics.
They’ll be in town for next week’s Americana Music Festival, but most strangely they’ll be opening an in-store with Charlie Louvin at Grimey’s on Sept. 19. They’re playing at 4 p.m. and Louvin’s at 5:30. We won’t delve into the possible meanings of “Boxmasters,” but I do recommend you listen to “I’m Watchin’ the Game” on their MySpace page.
Update:
Billy Bob and the Boxmasters will not be playing at Grimey's. Mr. Thornton will be signing CDs that day, but his band won't be performing until later that night, September 19 at Cannery Ballroom. 8 p.m. Our thanks to Doyle for straightening things out. Sorry to all you Billy-Bob-aholics.
