BOOMBOX
Boombox is a Ukrainian band. Their lead singer Andriy Khlyvnyuk currently serves in the Ukrainian army. Here's what they wrote us:
"Over the past two and a half years, the audience, musicians, and promoters have begun to evaluate Boombox concerts according to several not previously familiar criteria.
On the first place (yep!) is still how the band plays, how Andriy Khlyvnyuk sings, whether the band has the same rock-n-roll magic, or whether it's time to retire.
No less important is what Andriy says from the stage. And he has something to say, believe us. It's better for fans of "Vakhteram" to stay home, don't say later that you weren't warned!
The most important point is how much money the band brings in, what it is spent on, how they report on it. And, perhaps, the most difficult thing, what the general public doesn't see - how not to ruin the audience with ticket prices, give the promoter an opportunity to earn money, and not show the musicians as a bunch of idiots, dreaming of hanging around the beach instead of service and work.
Let's say you persuaded Khlyvnyuk to ask for a vacation at his own expense (no more often than once every 3-4 months). Let's say you bought Sychas, Mavics, FPVs, Starlinks, generators, etc. for 140,000 euros from the previous tour, and renegotiated the next stage of the Dronotour. What does it make you? It makes you a great guy. Like our tour director, a molfar from Rusanivka, Vova Gavaets. It was him who carefully selected cities for the Boombox spring 2025 tour.
We'll visit eight countries, play 14 shows (maybe more), all of this between March and April. A lot depends on how you guys buy tickets, believe us. And the point here is not the producer's new car, but requests of the boys and girls who are holding back the enemy.
It's kind of strange to write after this intro what will be on the setlist, but okay, we get it - there will be "Firtka", "Kalina", "Naodintsi", "Kvity v volossi", "Polina", "Pravda", "Tviy na 100%", "Trymay mene" and another 12-14 songs. And an auction. And merch. Envy takes over. Come, please"
