We got home from our little mini tour about a week ago and here’s the wrap up report:

-Christian is officially the Justin Bieber of the band

-Sorry Said The Whale for drinking all your beers in London

-Thanks Said The Whale for taking us on the road. You’re our new best friends.

-Chains of Love are also our new best friends

-We filmed a music video under an overpass with skateboards, tarps, cool guitars, and british-looking clothes.

-Downsides: bit by a dog, robbed, spent all money on snacks, lost cell phones, two hours sleep after Quebec city show, too much noisy garage rock in the van, too much Kate Bush in the van, flat tire in Toronto, late for everything, etc etc just normal band stuff who cares.

-Upsides: we want to tour again so bad. Someone take us!!!! We have some fans, people cheered, we got to play a sold out show at the Great Hall, London and Hamilton were amazing, a very spicy meal from a generous hosting Ledwell (maybe too spicy???), saw a new sunnier side of Saint John, spoke acceptable French in Quebec City, etc etc.

So now we wait to see whats in store for the summer – if I knew I would tell you. Music video soon, vinyls coming in soon, we’ll have to get new tshirts cuz we sold like a million on the road. Look out for your local slacker rocker wearing a Boxer t shirt.

La Direction

We hit the road last week and played in Saint John NB and Halifax NS with Said The Whale – we got to see a new side of Saint John that is called the Market Square and we love it. We showed off a bit on stage but I don’t think anybody was mad about it. There was a guy in Saint John who Jeremy called “crazy” but he didn’t mean psychotic, just energetic and funny. Said The Whale let us use all their gear and we love them for that. We have our own gear but its usually broken and taking it on the road is a pain in the back (some amps are heavier than others). There have also been about a billion reviews made of our album, maybe I’ll list those here when I’m done this message. Most of em are positive but you can see for yourself. What we’ve learned: people know we like Pavement, some people think Jeremy sings like Ben Gibbard, everybody likes Bridge to the USA more than we expected, etc. Finally, we’re starting the big part of our tour tomorrow by playing at the Wave in Charlottetown – please come out and show Said The Whale that people actually might like us in our home province. Check out our shows section for the other dates. All you DJs out there, spin that record we wanna get to #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or you could read what I have to say: We have a new record coming out in March and its called French Residency (for many minor and subtle reasons pertaining to things that you may or may not wish to know). Here’s the album cover:

French Residency = Kings of the world

Okay so you had a look and now you wanna know more? Well please turn your gaze to the left, where there are some ladies splashing in the river. Now to the right where a man attempts a chin-up by the promenade. Here’s a close-up of it: RATTLE YOUR CAGE

This record will come out in March.  Check back for updates.

We recorded this song Material Xmas with Adam Gallant and recently had it remixed and remastered just for you and yours.

Check it out @ http://www.killbeatmusic.com/boxerthehorse/

You can download it for free and play it at festive gatherings (BONUS: Material Xmas is also extremely appropriate for weddings, birthdays and baby showers). Okay, so what about all you fans out there who don’t celebrate Xmas? Good news – we’ve been working on Material Hanukkah (based on The Chanuka Song by Adam Sandler).  It’ll be an eight-part epic that’s kosher enough for all to enjoy – look for it on participating Walmart shelves in December 2017.

In other news, we’re playing a show at Hunter’s on December 28th with our best friends The Danks and Molly Rankin. Come out and check out our exclusive one-off performance of our all time favourite song Cotton-Eyed Joe.

Until next time,

Special Ops.

Been recording in Alec’s basement in Charlottetown onto an old Fostex that we’ve named Wall-E.  We name most of our friends that buzz and whir Wall-E (including our little GPS, Wall E, who doesn’t buzz nor whir, though always plans for an unnecessary detour through Quebec City on our way to montreal).  About 13 songs in and getting excited about an eventual release in winter!

This guy has been on our minds lately:

also these guys:

(especially Bizarre…)

Talk soon!
