They recorded their first album (Melomania) in just 19 hours and released it in April 2005.[1]

The band has performed in cities throughout Ukraine, including Lviv,[2] Odesa,[3] Kovel,[4] Uzhhorod[5] and, as recently as the beginning of 2022, in Kyiv.[6] They have performed in other European countries, the United States, and Canada.[7] In 2015 they conducted a ten-year-anniversary tour in North America.[8]

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,[9] playing a selection of Pink Floyd and Gilmour solo pieces.[10]

After the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea the band stopped performing in Russia.[11] When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the band postponed a tour of North America and all the members joined the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces.[12] [13] Khlyvnyuk recorded an a cappella version of the Ukrainian folk song "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow" in Kyiv while dressed in a military uniform, and posted it on social media.[14] South African musician The Kiffness made a remix of Khlyvnyuk's recording, to support Ukraine.[15] [16] Pink Floyd, led by David Gilmour, wrote and recorded the single "Hey, Hey, Rise Up!", incorporating Khlyvnyuk's recorded vocals, and released it in April 2022 in support of Ukraine.[9] [17]
