In 2007and 2008, Shoebox has had unprecedented success as the Gold Coast’s only acoustic reggae two peace. Shoebox began the year in the studios recording their new EP JiggyJiggy with the support of a Regional Arts Development Fund grant through Arts Queensland. JiggyJiggy went on to receive airplay on Sydney and Melbourne radio stations and had 5 songs in Triple J’s Unearthed top 20 including 3 songs simultaneously in the Top 4. Shoebox has also hit number 1 in the mp3.com.au reggae chart for both artist page and song. Shoebox achieved 6 songs simultaneously in the top 10 of the same chart. Over 1000 copies of JiggyJiggy have now been independently sold nationalwide.
Playing over 85 shows in the last year has allowed Shoebox such opportunities as sharing the same stage as Angus and Julia Stone at their first festival appearance, the Wonderland Festival, and supporting internationally acclaimed Byron Bay drum and didgeridoo act Wild Marmalade. Shoebox’s versatility allows them to play everything from restaurants to weddings to music festivals and has seen them tour interstate with live interviews and performances on radio.
With an infectiously original style, Shoebox is continually offered soundtrack work on feature films such as Susan’s Faith, and new Channel Nine series “The Surf Show” and consistently sees them in the top 25 of the MySpace Reggae Artists. Having recorded two video clips from JiggyJiggy,Mesayusay and JiggyJiggy, Shoebox is ready for whatever 2008 brings their way.
