hey there!
i'm sebastian, lead singer of the 6-piece french ska-punk band P.O.BOX
We are going on ourr 6th european tour this july 2006, promoting our debut full length album. We're finishing the booking of this tour, but we need some help.
We need a show in HUNGARY on july the 10th...
would that be able for you to help us out by putting on a gig? by forwarding this message to people who could help us? by giving us some contacts?
At the end of this email, you'll find a short biography, so that you know more about us.
I encourage you to check the band's websites: www.pobox-band.com
www.myspace.com/pobox
where you can download several mp3s and video clips.
The general conditions for booking P.O.BOX would be a fee of 200euros (however, this is absolutely negotiable depending on the situation) + catering for 7 people + a place to sleep for 7 people.
The tour booking process is the following:
10.07.
11.07. bulgaria, sofia

We definitely hope you'll be able to do something for us, and that you would be able to put on a gig for P.O.BOX. We are dying to rock in HUNGARY as we really want to play everywhere possible, to meet new people, new cultures...
If needed, we can send a promo pack, but as you may know, stamps are overrated... So well, we can send promo packs but only to serious people willing to work with us. If you're not interested in booking the band, please do not ask for a promo pack; we know you understand that the "underground scene" is a poor one ;)
We would also appreciate any help regarding some contacts of promoters in your area.
Please, reply to this email, even with a negative answer, so that we can work the best for the band.
Thanx a lot!
Sebastian
Here is a short biography of the band, to let you know more about us:
P.O.BOX has been created in 2001, and since then the band has given more than 250 shows in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, England, Scoltand, Wales, Italy... performing on club shows but also on some of the biggest European festivals such as Dour (B), Wasted (UK), Tabuns (LV)... and sharing the stage with bands the like as Ska-P (SP), Big D & The Kids Table (USA), The Skatalites (J), The Slackers (USA), Burning Heads (F) and so on...
A first demo-cd was released in 2001, sold to 2.000 copies. A slipt-cd followed in 2002, sold once again to 2.000 copies without any distribution or label's deal. In 2004, the band signed on Winged Skull Records (L) and Power Pop Records for the release of Rock My Reality EP. This Ep has for now been sold to 3.000 copies, only on shows.
The band just recorded its debut album, at Loko Studio (F) with producer Guillaume André (Kobayes, Jetsex, Straight Away...).
They did 5 european tour in the past 3 years, and absolutely love to hit the road in order to share their music wherever they are given the possibility to.
P.O.BOX benefits of excellent criticism and is known for having an explosive stage performance.
