The first week of 2012 in review: already been sick, decided against making any resolutions, began plotting gbo’s next tour, and had the honor of being named one of the best new bands in Boston for 2012 by the Boston Phoenix (our hometown’s arts, music, and entertainment newspaper). The article alludes to some of our plans for the year (as I just did in the previous sentence) but I’d like to highlight that we’ll have a new album out by the time our northeast corner of the U.S. starts to warm up. You can download a pre-release of the song “Vanished” before the album comes out via the Class of 2012 bandcamp comp.
Attn NY’ers: we’ll see you at the Cake Shop on Saturday night.
it seems endless….more news coming march 8th
Now that we are fully entrenched in the new year and Punxsutawney Phil has claimed that Spring will be here early, I want to send out some shoutouts to the folks who helped make 2010 special for the band.
From blogs to radio to photography to studios to friends to fans, thanks for your support!

Hey Readers, Nazli here. (My name is pronounced Nazla for anyone wondering). It’s getting dang near to the end of 2010, which means that most every publication out there is making their ‘year end’ list. I’m one of those people that likes to make lists too. Grocery lists, to do lists, birthday lists…anything to keep everything in check and on paper. For me, it’s not one of those, checkin it twice kinda deals, it’s more like a sanity check. So it shouldn’t be surprising to you that I’ve made a list of every show that Ghost Box Orchestra has ever played. Well almost. Things got a little hazy right after we recorded the album. Regardless, I just crunched the numbers and in 2010, Ghost Box Orchestra played about 20 shows. Twenty shows! Basements! Portuguese American Clubs! Towns with witch trials! On the radio! It’s been a blast and we can’t wait to bring you more.
Your support is boundlessly appreciated! We thank you for coming out to our shows, buying our album, listening to our record, and talking about our music.
Two more shows and then we are tying the knot to seal up the vault of 2010.
