Their most well known single is "Curious", from their debut album Bionic.
Following the dissolution of the band, guitarist Mike Smith went on to play Bubbles, a popular character in the Canadian cult hit television series Trailer Park Boys.[1]
They were nominated for Best New Group at the Juno Awards of 1996. They also won three East Coast Music Awards.
SandboxUK is Lennie (Vocals/Guitar); Paul (Guitar); Andy (Drums) & Will (Bass/Keyboards), a four piece indie band from Manchester. They are four friends that met whilst at school/college and bonded through a shared love of 90s indie, when the world was a nicer place and everybody was happy!
They have been described as "Blondie fronting The Smiths" by Designer Magazine, Sandbox have rapidly gained a reputation as one of the best live acts in Manchester since releasing their third EP, 'Back to the City', thanks to a number of high profile support slots including opening up for Howling Bells, Mobile, The Checks and Tokyo Police Club.
As 2008 draws to a close, Sandbox are rounding the year off in a truly hectic style. After recently playing at The Aftershow’s 1st Birthday party, they have gigs booked all over Manchester, which culminates in their annual Christmas Ball in December. They’re also featuring as part of a year long exhibition at Salford Art Gallery which traces the history of music in Salford. The exhibition, ‘Quiffs, Riffs and Tiffs’, opens in October!
