Last thing about this new album: Chris Cresswell fromm the Flatliners and Vic Ruggiero from the Slackers are featuring on some songs. But you'll have to wait to hear them, haha!
New tour:
A new album goes with a new tour... We have a couple of shows in June, in Germany and Belgium. Then, we'll hit the road during 4 weeks for another crazy tour that will bring us to Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany. Most of the shows are booked (check on our website, myspace, facebook etc). We will then take a one month holiday in August, and will hit the road again from September on, followed up by a 2 weeks Germany tour in October. If you want us to play in your city, get in touch with us!
New trombone player:
Also, Jaws left the band to focus on his new job. We wish him the best, and we thank him for those 5 years spent together. The good news is that our new trombone player is already ready to hit the stage! His name is Julien, and he played his first shows with us last weekend. Yiha!
New nothing...:
Talking about having a blast, we came back from Groezrock Festival (Belgium) thinking of what has just happened to us: that was a real blast! Playing this festival, on the best stage in our minds (the only one where stage diving was allowed) in front of 2 to 3.000 people whereas Underoath was playing mainstage at the same time (ska's not dead), in front of many friends we haven't seen in sooo long, with awesome bands etc... That was awesome! Thanks to the people who showed up, and thanks to those who didn't show up but sent us emails and messages.
New on the internet:
Also, we are now on facebook: yeah, it seems it has become kinda compulsory if you want to have a social life, huh?............. Join P.O.Box group by clicking here and P.O.Box page by clicking there . Come on, show us we have some friends!
New booking agency:
Last thing, we have a new booking agency for Germany, being K.O.K.S Music . They'll be dealing with our German shows, including the Germany Tour in October/November.

23/03/2009 Save La Miroiterie!
This squat in Paris is threatened by a new landlord: police came a few days ago and we can expect some eviction within the next days. For those of you who never heard about La Miroiterie, this is the oldest squat in Paris, where about 30 people (coming from many different countries) live: painters, sculptors, musicians, artists... And P.O.Box is supposed to be playing there on Friday April 3rd, with Union Jack, Bleeding Pigs and Lords of the Pint.

Video Clip
That's right! After more than 6 months of hard work, we finally made it: our first ever video clip is online. A 100% DIY low budget video clip. And we love doing it this way! A big THANK YOU goes out to Dédé @ PunkMeUp, and to our crew in Quebec, as well as to the whole Westgate district in Longueuil, Quebec, where we shot the video (we know the people living there are reading this newsletter and that will make their days). Watch it here (don't forget to click on "watch in high quality" just below the video screen). Spread the word around you and tell us what you think of it!
Russian Interview
We found that online, an interview we did in July 2008 in Russia, for the TV channel A-ONE. Funny. We don't understand a word, so if any one you speak Russian (come on Russian people, help us out) we would be glad to get a translation.

03/11/2008 News from the front
Hi everyone. Some news about us, hoping to see you all at one of our upcoming shows.
Recording!
We’ll enter the studio next February to record our second full length. We already wrote about 10 new songs and we’re playing them live (so be sure to check us out live to listen to them before the release of the cd). We’ll spend 4 weeks at "Mon Studio" in Nancy, run by Yann (from the band MyPollux) who will produce this album.
Mon Studio
Video clip
We already told you about it, but we’re finishing that home-made 100% DIY video clip for the song « Music Has Taken a Backseat to Haircut ». Online very soon !
Go Folk Yourself!
We wrote an acoustic song (D/E/A/D) which will be on an acoustic sampler from Guerilla Asso, entitled « Go Folk Yourself ». Street date is planned for December. 20 bands will be featured on this sampler, from Guerilla Poubelle to Dead Pop Club, from Freygolo to Justine, from Dirty Fonzy to Vulgaires Machins…
Gigs, gigs, gigs...
Lots of shows in November, and especially on the 22nd in our badass hometown Nancy! We'll be playing in a huge venue called "l'Autre Canal", with a bunch of great bands from the area, and guess what: it's a free show! So be sure to come and bring all of your friends with you, it's gonna be a great night. Check our website or myspace page for information about the other upcoming shows.

Guerilla Asso Birthday

Help needed
We need your help. Have you ever heard of Groezrock Festival? This is a must-go punkrock festival in Europe, probably the major one. And we would love to play it! They just launched on their website a form that you can fill in with the names of the band you would like to see for this year's edition... And you can even win a combi-ticket for the fest! Visit that website, and choose the bands you want to see rocking this awesome fest (by the way, think of us while filling in the form haha).
Groezrock Festival
X-mas sales
We were talking together last week, and we were thinking of doing some X-mas special sales... Yeah, we're not doing that usually, but we thought that if ever your cousin still doesn't have our first album "...And the Lipstick Traces" and if your little sister lost our EP "Rock my Reality", it was a good time to offer you a discount (or a good time for you to buy some x-mas presents in advance). Get our album + our EP + free buttons + free stickers, for the huuuuuuuuuge price of 12euros. That's right, we can be nice sometimes!
Allright, that's all for now! See you very soon?

30/04/2008 Home Sweet Home!
We're back from our tour in Canada! After 15 days spent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, we got sweet memories in the head. It has been an awesome first time out of Europe, and we're already thinking of touring again overthere. We ate poutine, we watched the hockey series of Montreal Canadians (we became huge fans by the way), we loved "foufounes electriques" (those of you who have already been in Montreal will know what we're talking about), we met the Flatliners after 2 years of email chatting, we shot a video clip, we met some people from our town, we got sunburned, we shared the stage with amazing bands, we have now a lot of new friends, and we got soooo many people to thank... First of all, a big THANK YOU goes out to Dédé, his father and Dom (as well as their girlfriends) for hosting us during 2 weeks, it was a blast! A thumb up goes out to Punkmeup.com crew for putting on this tour, without them we wouldn't have been able to do it. Thanx to Maxe and her family for the night spent in their home in Jonquière, it was awesome. Thanx to Manu and Audrey for the sightseing in Montreal. Hurray to Subb, PL Mafia and Scream Out for the gigs we've done together, that was insane! Also, thanx to P-L from Slam Disques and to our friends Guerilla Poubelle for the last minute gig in Sherbrooke. Thanx, in no particulier order, to Sick End, Captain Finger, the Hunters, Skankin Riot, Winslow, les Faramineux, Mary Go Run, Tagada Jones, Shot by Jack, Fleeba, the Others, Lofofora, the Betrayal Process, Dance Laury Dance and all the other bands i've forgotten. Thanx to the promoters for putting on our gigs. Thanx to the media (newspapers, radios, magazines) which showed interest in our band. Thanx to Westgate in Longueuil for allowing us to shoot that video despite the noise, and to all the people who acted in this video. Last but not least, thanx to the Office Franco-Québecois pour la Jeunesse, to Unibéton, and to our tatooist friend Jack for the financial support. That's a promise, we will not forget any of you, and we'll be back soon! Now, we're back on the European roads every weekend until late June, and will then go on tour in the Eastern part of Europe, in Russia and in Ukraine for 3 weeks. Damn, it's soooo good to be home sometime, haha!
