I didn't even know they broke up!


The four original members of Candlebox are reuniting for the first time since 1997 to mount a three-month U.S. tour that will kick off July 1. Singer Kevin Martin, guitarist Peter Klett, bassist Bardi Martin and drummer Scott Mercado will visit about 60 as-yet-unannounced cities. "[We'll play] summer festivals, state fairs, House of Blues [venues], whatever," says Martin. "We want to see you there!"

    Kevin Martin had formed a new band called "Kevin Martin and the Hiwatts" - they didn't do anything for me. I would love to see Candlebox, now I can :D

    Cool, I'll go see that. I saw them back in the day and it was a pretty good show (albeit a horrible venue, the New Haven Coliseum). Their first album was awesome. Far Behind, You, Cover Me.

    I'm a big fan of the song "It's Alright" off Happy Pills

    They had some good songs.
    I doubt they will play many Canadian dates.

    That's too bad - Kevin's voice has improved leaps and bounds in the past couple of years and he is singing like you've never heard before. Their debut cd is loaded w/ some kikkass jams including a few that will really get you thinking. His second album is soon to be released and it ROCKS! The band is now simply "The HiWatts" and they offer a few new tracks as well as some older ones @ myspace.com/thehiwatts....check it out!

    The original 4 members of Cbox played their first gig 16 days ago @ the Bacchaus Ball @ Mardi Gras...setlist included Arrow, Far Behind, Cover Me , You and Change. I heard it RIPPED!

    chimpat,
    i saw those new haven coliseum shows too....actually ended up onstage at the '95 show. both great shows...

    it was with great pleasure that i took pictures of what is left of that building last week on the way to my car from the train station. it's in the middle of being torn down :) good riddance.

    for anyone interested, the official candlebox site will be http://www.candleboxrocks.com

    we'll have the official site up in the coming months; for now there's just a mailing list signup form.

    wow...that's great news! Any word on a new album? With new PJ and Tool, and with AIC and now Candlebox reuniting, things are looking up in the rock world!!

    Now if only Sweetwater and Green Apple Quickstep would get back at it. ..

    no word on a new candlebox record. they're just planning on some shows and having a good time playing at this point. wouldn't rule it out though.

    Candlebox have unveiled more than 40 dates for their upcoming North American reunion tour. The band's trek kicks off May 27 in St. Louis, and runs through a Sept. 5 gig in Amarillo, Texas. The '90s alt-rock act also plans to release a new album in spring 2007. "The response to our deciding to go back out and making another record has been great," says frontman Kevin Martin. "The music doesn't ever die."
