    • Spoons: Echoes...Available NOW!

        It's been a long time coming but, with the help of our friends and peers (some pretty amazing people!) we are proud to present the Echoes album. 

        The Repeatable album, released earlier this year to commemorate our 40th anniversary, is a compilation of the songs as you know them. Echoes is a collection of our songs re-recorded by artists from around the world; from England and the USA to Australia and Canada. Whether stripped down or pushed to the limit, these amazing artists perform our songs in their own undeniably personal, and sometimes very unexpected, way. 

        Proceeds from the sale of Echoes will go to the Unison Fund, in support of the severely affected music industry in Canada, so incredibly hit hard by Covid.

    Jean-Marc Pisapia – THE BOX  – 1981 à 1992 et de 2002 à présentement

    Descendu du Nord pour venir nous rencontrer, l’artiste Jean-Marc Pisapia nous apprenait en début d’émission, qu’il habite maintenant la région des Laurentides. D’une grande gentillesse, c’est d’emblée qu’il a accepté l’invitation de Géo et s’est prêté au jeu de la caméra et des photographes, pour la 30e émission de Famille Rock. Voyez en entrevue un artiste généreux qui adore son public et aime partager avec les médias.

    D’origine italienne, son père est venu de Naples en 1952 s’installer à Montréal. Il a eu trois garçons, dont Jean-Marc qui y est né en 1957. Ses deux frères, et lui, alors âgé de 4 ans, ont été initiés au piano classique dès leur tendre enfance.  Jean-Marc nous raconte ses débuts dans l’entrevue. Il nous parle de ses intérêts, ses premières influences musicales et du premier show qu’il a vu, Genesis, qui fut l’élément déclencheur de sa belle carrière. Je vous invite à regarder les deux vidéos de la 30e émission de Famille Rock, réalisée et animée par Géo Giguère, afin de promouvoir les artistes Rock d’ici. Découvrons plus amplement ce grand artiste de chez-nous qui nous apprenait également, qu’il est l’heureux papa de deux filles, de 30 et 32 ans dont il est très fier. Le vent encore dans les voiles, l’artiste nous parle aussi de ses projets futurs.

    Première partie

    L’auteur-compositeur-interprète, guitariste et claviériste, Jean-Marc Pisapia fut auparavant musicien avec le groupe Men Without Hats. Ivan, le leader et fondateur du groupe depuis 1979, et avec qui Jean-Marc avait étudié l’allemand à l’école pendant 5 ans, l’invite donc à rejoindre le band pour leur premier EP Folk of the 80’s (1980

    • The Box (band)

    Canadian new wave group

    For the British 1980s band, see Clock DVA.

    The Box is a Canadian pop rock band from Montreal, Quebec, whose style evolved from synth-based new wave pop on their early albums toward prog-influenced guitar rock later in their careers. Founded in 1981, they achieved commercial success in Canada, recording four charting albums and 10 charting singles between 1984 and 1990.

    The group broke up in 1992, but a new line-up was founded in 2004. This iteration of the group has released two further albums.

    Biography

    The band was formed in 1981 by Jean-Marc Pisapia, an early member of Men Without Hats. He recruited guitarist Guy Florent and bassist Jean-Pierre Brie and, before they settled on calling themselves The Box, the group was known as Checkpoint Charlie.

    The band's first single attracted the attention of Montreal radio station CKOI-FM, leading to a deal with Alert Records. Also that year, Jean-Marc's brother Guy Pisapia joined on keyboards.

    Their debut album The Box was released in 1984, and produced the singles "Must I Always Remember" and "Walk Away". Drummer Sylvain Coutu joined the band for its supporting tour, but was replaced by Pierre Taillefer before the next album. Florent also left and was replaced by Claude Thibeault. Their shows to promote the album included some dates opening for British prog rock band Marillion on their Canadian tour.

    In 1985, The Box released All the Time, All the Time, All the Time. That album, which included backing vocals by Sass Jordan and Marie Carmen, produced the singles "My Dreams of You" and "L'Affaire Dumoutier (Say to Me)". The latter song, in which Pisapia narrates, rather than singing, a tale of a murder committed by a man with multiple personality disorder, was opposed as a single by the record label due to its unconventiona
