Search - Box O' Clox :: Maelstrom Beach

From the producer/performer (Cameron Michael Parkes) of the critically acclaimed A TRIBUTE TO BRIAN WILSON (Varese Sarabande - Universal Music) and co-producer/performer of ENCOMIUM IN MEMORIAM VOL.1 JAN BERRY OF JAN & DEAN. The members of BOX O' CLOX (Cameron Michael Parkes, Charles Pett & Larry Dolan) have been writing and producing music since the mid 70s'. Cameron is also a film composer (see IMDB). We have pictures on our website boxoclox.com of Charles Pett playing a rare improptu gig with the late-great John Lennon. Too bad no-one had a tape rolling!!!! Why Box o' Clox? We've been asked, Why 'Box O' Clox'? What does it mean?
Throughout the years we've had various names (The Coveyors, ... etc.) In the late '90s we felt a change was warranted. I don't recall how or why the name Box O' Clox came into my head, but I do remember that I was attracted to it for two reasons (1) it wasn't preceded by a The and (2) it had a time element.
It was spelled as Clocks until 2003, when Van Dyke Parks suggested that it be changed to match Box.(Actually, my wife had come up with the same idea a few months earlier, but it took Van's unrelated recommendation to convince me to change it). Cameron Michael Parkes
