OXES
OXES are an instrumental rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. Their music has been called math rock or post-punk.
OXES are part of what is known as "The Baltimore Rowdy Collective" which stages practical jokes, usually involving a confrontational and outlandish racket in public places. These happenings are comparable to the Lettrist scandals and Luther Blissett.
Biography
Live shows
In all of the band's early performances, guitarists Marc Miller and Natalio Fowler both stood on large black boxes (or pedestals) towering over the audiences, a nod to the superiority complexes of rock bands. They would occasionally step down from the boxes to walk into the audience and stand in front of individuals in the crowd (while still playing) in an attempt to make them feel uncomfortable. This was later aided by the much self-publicized acquisition of wireless guitars. Drummer Christopher Freeland would intermittently get up from his set and barge around the stage, mumbling incoherent babble, only to sit back down and lunge into another song. Miller and Fowler are noted for having the birth and death dates of Jimi Hendrix respectively.

Larger Than Life
by: AxxisFeel the beat - hear the sound
Feeling so excited
Blazing eyes all around
Are watching me this night
Fade away reality
Feeling like a child
Another world that set me free
My heart is beating wild
Larger than life
All these days and this nights
Bathing in fame and in glory
Larger than life
You wanna see in my eyes
A hero, an idol for you
...I'm larger than life
All the towns I've seen
Many unknown places
Yellow, red, bland and white
All the foreign faces
Countries all around the world
Borders lost their meaning
Supersonic aeroplanes
We sat inside and dreaming
Larger than life
All these days and this nights
Bathing in fame and in glory
Larger than life
All that you see in my eyes
Am I really an idol
Am I - larger than life?
Blazing eyes!
All your looks let me live and survive
And you - you keep me alive.
You're dreaming and screaming
