The Boonx are singer-songwriter Xavier Boone and his league of extraordinary musicians. Ten of them. All bringing different musical influences to a band whose live shows quite simply bring the house down. Ask anyone. Xavier Boone, blessed with a voice that's been shaped and polished by 'a life lived', writes songs that reach out and touch your soul.

Guitarist Jan Ghesquière's arrangements bring Xavier's visions alive. Aided and abetted by the rest of the band, the result is a collection of hard hitting songs about love and hate, war and peace.

Born Meirlaen (Born Crain) was chosen to produce "Slowpoke", their first album. Even though his music and that of The Boonx seem to be worlds apart, Boone and Meirlaen clicked instantly. Their partnership resulted in songs that manage to be both edgy and accessible at the same time. And you can dance to them. Do yourself a favour; you need to hear them.
