OXES is a Baltimore instrumental rock band. It's members are part of what's known as "the Baltimore Rowdy Collective" who stage practical jokes that usually confront the empty posturing and or overly serious behavior involved with local "indie" rock scenes. These happenings are comparable to the Lettrist Scandals.
Their music has been called math rock or post punk but they havent been known to subscribe to any genre. However all of their recordings and shows are instrumental.
In all of the bands early performances Marc Miller (guitar), Natalio Fowler (guitar) both stood on large black boxes (or pedestals) towering over the audiences (a nod to the superiority complexes of rock bands). The guitarists would occasionally step down from the boxes to walk into the audience and stand in front of individuals in the crowd (while still playing) attempting to make the them feel uncomfortable. This was later aided by the much self-publicised acquisition of wireless guitars. Christopher Freeland (drums) would intermittenly get up from his set and barge around the stage, mumbling incoherent babble, only to sit back down and lunge into another song.
While the band retained its use of the large black boxes and wireless guitars, its later shows were marked by less showmanship. However they still maintain their audacious and silly stage presence.
