PAGE " - WATERLOO CHRONtCLE, WEDNESDAY. Coral Andrews Chronicle Special "We will tell the people of Quebec about this province," said Jean-Marc, the leadsinger and lyrical influence of The Box, tt Quebec band whose latest single about mental illness and the Justice system, L'Attaire Dumoutier, is beginning to climb up all the Ontario charts. . . I _----- _........ox..nlu um, up -.. m- V........ --..__'H" The seven-member band, now attractively em- bellished with two female back-up vocalists, played to a packed house at U of W's Federation Hall and received a two-encore call from the enthusiastic crowd. The Box had a slight image problem several years ago in their initial stages when they were unfairly labelled as the "band with no Image." They weren't a fashion plate Platinum Blonde, or boy-next-door bunch like Corey Hart or Bryan Adams. They wrote songs of intelligentsia rather than the trendy boy-meets-girl commercial synth standards. The band, originally from the amateur circuit of Montreal, sing English purely for marketing reasons. Their current single has 10 per cent French content and is breaking into all markets, despite a still overwhelmingly biased attitude against French lyrics. Now The Box have the exclusive image as Quebec's number one band, and they are happy to play Ontario after extensively touring every nook and cranny in Quebec during the past eight months. A chameleon band, which depicts characters in their music, The Box is finding both French and English markets receptive to their artform. Jean-Marc is a performance artist, and last week's opening number depicted a tall, dark figure shrowded in a red, floor-length satin cloak with a huge box upon his head.

The band performed tracks from their latest album All the Time, All the Time, All the Time, including Friends, School, Remnants, and What we Shall Believe. Throughout the concert Jean-Mare assumed various guises which gave the seven-member entourage an interesting Thespian allure, with the chameleon frontman garbed in black and white formal attire and shades, sporting nonchalant ego in With All this Cash, and clothed in jester's threads for Dancing On A Grave. The conceptual family with Guy Pisapia (brother of Jean-Marc) on keyboards, Jean-Pierre Brie on bass, Philippe Bernard, drums and Claude Thi.. bault on lead guitar, clearly enjoyed themselves from start to finish.
