Originally formed being a quintet in 2000 with 1 / 2 of its members still in senior high school, Livonia, MI’s El Boxeo go about refining their post-punk sound and had narrowed to some trio simply by 2003. Lisa Norton (vocals, violin), Zach Norton (bass), and Danny Sperry (drums) made a decision to pursue a musical profession more positively and released a self-titled EP that same season, followed by Music from an Unwritten Play About Large Wild birds in 2004. Their initial full-length record, Awake & Fantasizing, premiered on Suburban Sprawl Music in 2006. The music group continued hiatus (but pressured that it had been not splitting up) in Dec 2007.
