On Friday, September 13, a 1,200-person theater nestled on Hollywood Boulevard was at full capacity. The billboard, in bold black letters, read BÔA.
The band formed in 1993 as an indie alternative band in Paul Rodgers’s (Bad Company) upstairs home studio. The British group Bôa grew to produce two albums over the decade while gaining traction in the U.K. and Japan. Despite their successes, they never quite graced American marquees. In the early 2000s, after the release of their second and last album Get There, the musicians disbanded, pursuing their own careers respectively.
Fast-forward to 2022: Their single “Duvet” goes viral across social media platforms. With a new generation suddenly trying to unravel their story, members Jasmine Rodgers (lead vocals), Alex Caird (bass), and Lee Sullivan (drums) reunite.
