Box Elders Tickets

Box Elders from Omaha, Nebraska, emerged in 2005 as a tight-knit collaboration between Jeremiah and Clayton McIntyre with Dave Goldberg handling drums and keyboard. Sheltered in the garage and basement venues of the Midwest, they forged a sound that critics describe as bubblegum pop meets garage rock with a punk edge—self-styled as cave pop. Their approach blends catchy hooks with raw, energetic performances, and their music has made a lasting impression on fans of lo-fi, do-it-yourself rock.

Though their active period peaked around the late 2000s, Box Elders remain a notable breadcrumb in the indie rock scene. Their work is most closely associated with Goner Records, and their legacy continues to be explored by fans seeking an authentic snapshot of the era.
