Artist History Sister Boombox grew out of a high school music class in Vaughan, Ontario. Through a mutual friend, Nina met Tony, realized they shared musical influences and decided to form a band. Tony recruited good friend Mario, who recruited his good friend Beau, and the band was formed. Not too interested in being "rock stars" with their own songs, Sister Boombox instead "pretended" to be rock stars by learning all their favourite cover songs and put on shows in their area. Soon they were recognized for their excellent take on a wide variety of covers from artists as diverse as Chuck Berry to Blondie to Led Zeppelin. They inevitably created a following of enthusiastic fans who now wanted to hear what their originals would sound like. As a result, Sister Boombox headed into the studio and recorded several songs of which 5 are available for purchase at live shows only (for now). Keep an eye out for Sister Boombox shows in your area. It will be worth a night out.
