Whoa there, slow down, Candlebox is NOT breaking up we are just taking some time to focus on our other projects we’ve been working on over the past few months.

As some of you may or may not know Pete & Scott have started “LOTUS CRUSH” with the incredibly talented Scotsman Terry McDermott from Driveblind. Their record is done and ready to rock & roll so keep checking in with them for their tour dates and record release dates.

As for Kevin & Sean, they’ve started a new project with Chad, Pat & Chad of “LIVE” called
“THE GRACIOUS FEW.” The record is finished and will be rolling out on July 27th. Tour dates starting in September.

We will also be readying ourselves for GUITAR HERO in June re-tracking Far Behind, You, Change, Cover Me & a few other gems from our debut release as well as tracking a few new CBOX #’s for our next release we’re hoping to have out to you by the end of this year. Keep checking in with us at CANDLEBOX ROCKS for all the pertinent info.

KEVIN MARTIN was one of the true defining voices of the Seattle music scene in the 1990’s and that was evident as his wounded-bear roars filled the Paradise on Monday night.

Armed with enhanced energy and a new album of material CANDLEBOX’s performance was airtight as could be, anchored by PETER KLETT’s searing guitar, SCOTT MERCARDO’s pounding rhythm section and the one-two punch of guitarist SEAN HENNESY and bassist ADAM KURY.

The new material was received enthusiastically by the near capacity crowd.  The youthful energy of the new material collided neatly with the vintage classic “Simple Lessons,” infectiousness radio staple “Far Behind” and the tremulous and tender “Cover Me” – played with grace against the backdrop of a no-frills stage set.

The climax of the evening was the musical orgy with local heroes DAMONE on their 2006 lush  retro-pop hit “Out Here All Night.” CANDLEBOX have been long time admirers of DAMONE, having  covered their song “Out Here All Night” on their 2006 tour.

The evening’s support was the local four-piece outfit MISSION HILL who displayed hyper power-pop energy and could easily be mistaken for The Fray.
