To date, Boo Seeka has accumulated over 7 million Spotify streams and dominated national airwaves with singles like ‘Oh My’, ‘Deception Bay’, ‘Fool’ and their 2015 debut single, ‘Kingdom Leader’, which peaked at #6 on the Australian iTunes Electronic chart. 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'll be calling the race,
cause I've already won
It's already done.
I know the feeling!
Rewind the the time,
back before it begun
Who would've thought?
Yeah, nobody can
Take a look at me now
Are you running the game?
Never running away
Take a look at me now
Are you running the game?
Never running away
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Up here in the clouds
Tick tock the plans already begun
I'll be calling the race,
cause I've already won
It's already done.
I know the feeling!
Rewind the the time, back before it begun
Who would've thought?
I don't think we can
Yeah, nobody can
Take a look at me now
Are you running the game?
Never running away
Take a look at me now
Are you running the game?
Never running away
I found a reason to be alive now
Ive got a moment in my hands
Don't want to come down
I'm happy in the clouds
I found a reason
To be alive now
Ive got a moment in my hands
Don't want to come down
Up here in the clouds
Don't want to come down
Look at me now
Up here in the clouds
Don't want to come down
Look at me now
Up here in the clouds
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Up here in the clouds
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Up here in the clouds
Take a look at me now
Are you running the game?
Never running away
Take a look at me now
Are you running the game?
Never running away
Look at me now!
In Boo Seeka's song Take A Look, the lyrics are about feeling successful and accomplished, as if the singer has already won before even starting. The use of the ticking clock imagery combined with the repetition of the phrase "it's already done" evokes a sense of inevitability - the singer knows that they will succeed, and they want everyone else to take notice. The chorus repeats the line "take a look at me now," driving home the point that the singer wants to be seen and recognized for their accomplishments.
The second verse introduces the idea of being "up here in the clouds" and not wanting to come down, which speaks to the idea of being on top of the world and not wanting to lose that feeling. The singer has found a reason to be alive and is enjoying the success and validation that comes with it.
Overall, the song is about feeling confident and validated in one's accomplishments, and wanting to be recognized for them. The use of clock imagery and the repetition of certain phrases adds a sense of urgency and inevitability to the lyrics.

I'm frankly gobsmacked by the paradox that is Boo Seeka. The emotive vocals, vivid lyrics, cool beats driving catchy and memorable compositions, high production values and understated but hip, complementary videos make each track feel like finding a rare gem. These boys are clearly so affable and real that connection with whatever audience is fortunate enough to find them is a given. It's nearly Christmas 2020 and in my half century of life I've been fortunate to experience musical wonders ranging from Depeche Modes Devotional tour to Jan Blomquist's Burning Man and everything in between. And yet, I have every possible notification on every operating system on all my useless devices set to fire alarm level in the event Boo Seeka announce a live date in Queensland.....the paradox for me is summed up by this video...only 9,749 views at time of writing!
I repeat: Gobsmacked. Rare gem.
Oh and boys, please come to Brisbane.

I stumbled across Boo Seeka and SAFIA during my travels in Australia a couple years ago. Have been addicted to them EVER since. I am stunned that they are not huuuuuuuge yet in Europe!!!!!!!! I would love to be able to see them here. This song is such a tune, have been playing it non-stop.
