Boo also managed to reach #50 in Triple j’s 2015 Hottest 100 with ‘Deception Bay’ and snagged a J Award nomination for Unearthed Artist of the Year in 2015.
A combination of pulsating synth sounds that bed down layered textures of electronic bass and percussive beats. Influenced by the layerings and experimental beats of Major Lazer, the cool swagger of J-Dilla and The Seed 2.0’s Cody Chestnutt’s soulful vocal delivery. BOO SEEKA snaps up melodies and bounces them off hip-hop/R&B driven grooves and beats that vibe.
2015 saw Boo Seeka tour Australia nationally with Kim Churchill, Sticky Fingers and SAFIA. Supporting each band on their respective National Tours. Followed by 2 SOLD OUT Headline single tours of the east coast. They’ve supported the likes of DMA’s, Jarryd James, Kovacs in the EUand UKand have also showcased at The Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City.
In 2016, they sold out their own national headline Oz tour and went back to EU and the UK for their own run of shows and festivals. After that was done, they came back home to play on home soil, just in time for summer festivals, including Groovin’ The Moo, Splendour In the Grass, Southbound and Party in the Paddock. Boo Seeka, being the hardest touring bands in Oz at the moment, also managing to squeeze in a 3 month long tour with Cherub and Frenship in October - November of 2016.
Boo Seeka continue to work on their first album - on and off the road. Working with producer and long time collaborator, Ian Pritchett (Bootleg Rascal & Lyall Moloney). Their most recent single, ‘Does This Last’, navigates through a bed of spacey synth and string layers. Building on their eclectic soul-tronic sounds. The single has been placed on high rotation on Triple J and have been featured on a few Spotify AU/NZ playlists (including 5 weeks on the Indie Mixtape playlist). It’s the first taste of their first album, due for release August 2017 (through Sureshaker & Warner Music Australia).

BOO SEEKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I roll ahead in the morning sun
On and on yeah we move as one
I wait I wait I wait I waited so long
I believe that every night is young
Looking back it only just begun
All alone yeah we're on the run
I wait I wait I wait I'll wait for you to
Pick me up put me down
Roller coaster running 'round living in
The back of my mind
I said you forever rush to the hunt now
You forever rush to the hunt now
Pick me up sit me down
Roller coaster running 'round living in
The back of my mind
I said you forever rush to the hunt now
You forever rush
Just another day sinking in the wine
Making the move feeling it time
Making you all mine making you all mine
Just another day in the sunshine
Playing it cool when everything's fine
I'll be making you all mine
Making you all mine
Never leave, never leave undone
Only sleeping when the words are sung
Only thinking like we walk as one
Never leave, never leave?
I'd rather? when you're talking?
Dance around to the morning sun
I need the feeling we've always won
Never leave, never leave if you want to
Pick me up put me down
Roller coaster running 'round living in
The back of my mind
I said you forever rush to the hunt now
You forever rush to the hunt now
Pick me up sit me down
Roller coaster running 'round living in
The back of my mind
I said you forever rush to the hunt now
You forever rush
Just another day sinking in the wine
Making the move feeling it time
Making you all mine making you all mine
Just another day in the sunshine
Playing it cool when everything's fine
I'll be making you all mine
Making you all mine
Making you all mine making you all mine

I find a reason why life goes on
I discover a purpose for the continuous journey of life
I roll ahead in the morning sun
I embrace progress and move forward with optimism
On and on yeah we move as one
We continue together harmoniously, without wavering
I wait I wait I wait I waited so long
I've been patient for an extended period of time
I believe that every night is young
I hold the belief that each night holds endless possibilities
Looking back it only just begun
Reflecting on the past, realizing it was only the start
All alone yeah we're on the run
We are on a journey, together but independent

I'll patiently wait for you to take action
Pick me up put me down

Never leave, never leave undone
Always complete what needs to be done, never abandon it
Only sleeping when the words are sung
Resting only when the expression is fulfilled
Only thinking like we walk as one
Thinking in unison, sharing a strong connection
Never leave, never leave?
I'd rather? when you're talking?
Choosing to stay instead of speaking
Dance around to the morning sun
Reveling in the delight of a fresh new day
I need the feeling we've always won
I crave the sensation of always being victorious
Never leave, never leave if you want to
Stay with me forever, if you desire to
Making you all mine making you all mine
Taking complete possession of you, making you wholly mine
