Big City Breakdown 9: Radio Boxer- "Going Home Now"
Big City Breakdown (BCB) is video feature where local musicians are taken out of their typical performance element and placed at one of Miami's signature outdoor locations as they present a song. The presentation will be shot in a single running take with no editing magic. BCB is an opportunity to showcase Miamis best talent, highlighting their versatility without electricity, four walls, and other amenities of the bar and club scene.
Hometown pride is a reciprocal process, whereby one respects and supports all things local and their endeavors are repaid with the same interest and admiration. This cause and effect cycle is key in the success of Hialeah’s own Radioboxer.
When brainstorming locations with Jota, he suggested Tiny's Food Store in Hialeah. He explained, "It’s perfect because we are a Hialeah band and we're always at Tiny's". I witnessed the mutual appreciation the band shares with Hialeah on the night we met them for the shoot.
Radioboxer arrived at the store in the following formation: Vanne, Jota, Esteban, Gian, Santos, and Tekilla 23. Tiny’s workers and patrons were accommodating to our project, allowing us free reign of the store to follow the band up and down the aisles like minstrels. An audience of fans gathered outside clapping and singing along to the catchy tune “Going Home Now”.
We welcome Bob Rich as a new contributor to the project; he is featured as the man behind the camera in this episode.
