Just discovered: Bakersfield band Box Jumper hit the Latino wedding circuit in April - By N.L. Belardes

June 9th is going to be a great night for punk music...

I was browsing through local band blogs and just found a great story...

Now, if you’re in the mood for punk rock and you’re getting hitched, then I know of a band…

If you have an event, a bar mitzvah, a graduation, or just want all hell to break loose in your living room, then I know of a band…

If you think you have seen it all at your friendly neighborhood Latino family weddings and want to experiment with a great father/daughter quinceniera dance number, then boy, do I know of a band!

Let’s just say if you’re simply in the mood, then look no further, Box Jumper is here. Or at least they were back in April and I'm assuming they are still here as they have played a few shows around town as of late.


The fabulous Rob Shock of Box Jumper

Just who are Box Jumper? Take the rural rock punk of the Filthies, add in a dose of hardcore punk, mix in a good vibe of Rob Shock sarcasm, and there you are!

I just read a hilarious blog from Box Jumper frontman, Rob Shock about his punk band performing at a local Latino wedding just before a mariachi band. It’s a must read about a great local punk band who also has Ridikule’s Jason Manning as their bass player.

I'm still laughing...

Box Jumper will be performing June 9th at Vinny's Bar.

Rob Shock also draws cartoons about the PC gaming industry.

*Link to wedding pics! Oh yeah!
