About GITBOX

Gitbox Rebellion

Unashamedly analog, Gitbox Rebellion is an 7-piece guitar ensemble, playing original music composed by and for the group, in Auckland, New Zealand. 

Orchestral & atmospheric, composed and chaotic, the music spans and defies the genres of jazz, rock, folk and chamber music.

The History

Founded by Nigel Gavin in 1988 Gitbox [Mark One] toured regionally and nationally and released 2 albums, Pesky Digits and Touchwood.

Reformation

Nigel Gavin reformed Gitbox Rebellion at the beginning of 2017 after countless requests from people who had attended live performances and listened to both albums.

The new Gitbox line up has had a series of live performances around Auckland and has begun recording new works. 

The Band

The new Gitbox line up features two original members: Nigel Gavin and Kim Halliday

They're joined by new members Sasha Witten-Hannah , Sonia Wilson, Rob Mita, and Doug Robertson.
