Austin, TX (Billboard Publicity Wire) August 23, 2007 -- Ivan Neville's favorite Austin band, Boombox ATX, the underground hip-hop Email this story to a
phenomenon, is releasing their long awaited first CD quot;Feel the Boomboxquot; September 7, 2007 at a CD release party at the Parish. colleague
The stellar, diverse band, who has managed to fill the Lucky Lounge every Tuesday night to capacity for three years running, is
Carlos Sosa's pet project. Sosa, who is currently the Vice President of Texas chapter of the Recording Academy of America, better CONTACT INFORMATION
known as the GRAMMY Academy, is fresh off a tour with Kelly Clarkson.

quot;About 10 years ago I was playing with Bob Schneider in the Scabs at Antone's, then I left and went next door to start my own
thing, playing acid jazz and stuff like that. We gradually evolved into what we are now, with players from the Scabs, Edie Brickell (512) 636-4388
and the New Bohemians, and MC Overlord (Best Rapper - SXSW) and started selling out.quot; Email us Here
quot;The energy Tuesday nights (at Lucky Lounge) is great, sometimes we go in there and play what we know, sometimes it's Davis Blahuta
spontaneous composition. Last night the first half of our show we played stuff we've never played before, jamming... and the crowd

loves that, it's a whole different energy,quot; says Sosa, quot;Our goal was to make that night something that no one could compete with.quot;
(512) 587-2928
The fan demographic for this band is as diverse as the band. quot;The B-Boys hip hop dance troupe comes and the crowd gets around Email us Here
them while they dance. They've done this thirty or forty times. Then I've seen people in their 70s at the show,quot; he continued.
Boombox ATX is not strictly a hip-hop group. They have been compared to Ozomotli and the Roots.
ATTACHED FILES
quot;It's kind of like a hip hop band,quot; says Sosa, but you can't pigeonhole this band. About the fourth track on the new CD, quot;Long Way
Homequot; Sosa relates quot; I had this idea in my head about Mississipi Blues, Delta, Robert Johnson kind of thing but I wanted to make it
hip hop. So the song that fits with the record, but it's not the whole band.quot;
quot;The other two bands playing with us are quot;The Handsomesquot; from Houston, they played ska and rock, and the other band is
quot;Pilasecaquot; from San Miguel, Mexico. The best way to describe them is a Mexican quot;Jamiriquoiquot;, they play with us sometimes and they
have a huge fan base in Mexico. They are like funk acid jazz, disco.quot;
quot;All three of these bands fit together and have totally different crowds, but I think each crowd will love the other bands. There are
some amazing musicians here in Austin, I hope to get them there too.quot;
What kind of food goes with Boombox ATX music? quot;Chicken Wings, and fried chicken,quot; Sosa replies with a laugh. Press Release Attachment
