Bôa

Bôa

Boa are a British alternative/indie band formed in London in 1993 by drummer Ed Herten. Boas' current lineup consists of Jasmine Rodgers (vocals), Steve Rodgers (vocals & guitar), Alex Caird (bass) and Lee Sullivan (drums & piano). The band progressed from a funk band to a rock band over the years. They produced two major albums, Twilight (2001) and Get There (2005). Perhaps their most famous track, Duvet, is the theme tune to Serial Experiments Lain. As a result, they are popular with anime fans worldwide. The band was originally signed by Polystar in Japan and produced their first album 'Race of a Thousand Camels' (1998). However, the band decided to change labels and signed with Pioneer LDC (now called Geneon) to produce their album Twilight (2001).

Following their success with the Twilight album, the band decided to create their own independent label called Boa Recordings to produce Get There (2005). Their latest album, Get There, was released on February 1, 2005. It took Bôa in a new direction, with more structure in lyrics and melody, as well as a more mellow, yet more harder-edged/indie-rock format. It also had more acoustic elements than the first album.
