Finally released the first ever Boxettes video and studio recording (I say released... I mean put on vimeo!) Very very happy with it though! I saw it for the first time on Christmas Eve - I went to school with the directors and one of them lives right next to the pub that we go to every Christmas (I say lives... his mum lives there!). Anyway we sat and watched it in the living room and he was just there on the floor looking so nervous - I was a bit worried cos I'm crap at hiding my feelings and I know that if I didn't like it he would know straight away! Luckily, the video was so awesome that it brought a little tear to my eye... this really was a mile stone for the band and I'm so happy that it was done so well and with so much love from everyone involved! The childhood connection is really nice too. It means that we all feel proud of each other as well as impressed! Luckily the rest of the girls were equally as excited about the video as me... I think we must have all watched it about a thousand times now!
So on the day we put it up... 5th Jan or something... support went through the roof! we posted it on facebook and our mailing-list at around 5pm, and by 5pm the next day we had 25,000 views! It was insane, whenever I logged into facebook (which was every 5 mins to check to progress haha!) my mini-feed was just a list of different people who had posted our video!
How lucky we are to have fallen into creating something that people like, and that everyone is so supportive of willing to push us. I think that the uniqueness of our concept is gonna allow us to bring a quirky edge into commercial music. well we'll see anyway.
without further a do, I give you "FREE". Track downloadable for free at www.theboxettes.co.uk (for a limited time only)
