Jo Boxers

JoBoxers were a new wave group established in London, England, in 1982. The band consisted of Rob Marche on guitar, Dave Collard on keyboards, Chris Bostock on bass, and Sean McLusky on drums, with Dig Wayne as the lead vocalist, who had previously fronted the New York-based rockabilly band Buzz and the Flyers under the name Buzz Wayne. JoBoxers' debut single "Boxerbeat" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. The band gained international recognition with their second hit "Just Got Lucky", which made the UK Top 10, and reached number 36 in the US. Their debut album Like Gangbusters featured all of these hits and reached the Top 20 of the UK Albums Chart. The band released another single "Is This Really the First Time" and a second album Skin and Bone in 1985, but called it quits during the making of a third album. Dig Wayne briefly pursued a solo career with the album Square Business, then transitioned to acting. In November 2020, JoBoxers announced a reunion show at London's 100 Club after 35 years of inactivity, which took place in summer 2022.
