BoomBox is a Ukrainian rock and pop band formed in 2004 by singer Andriy Khlyvnyuk and guitarist Andriy Samoilo. Their songs are written predominantly in Ukrainian, with albums and singles including some songs in Russian and English.
The band is a member of the association of independent musicians "Vdoh".
They recorded their first album Меломанія in just 19 hours and released it in April 2005.
The band has performed in cities throughout Ukraine, including Lviv, Odesa, Kovel, Uzhhorod and, as recently as the beginning of 2022, in Kyiv. They have performed in other European countries, the United States, and Canada. In 2015 they conducted a ten-year-anniversary tour in North America.
BoomBox was scheduled to perform in London at a show in support of the Belarus Free Theatre in 2015. Khlyvnyuk was unable to get there due to visa problems, so instead of performing their own set, the rest of the band backed Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, playing a selection of Pink Floyd and Gilmour solo pieces.
After the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea the band stopped performing in Russia.
