Mirage Box is a place where magic happens, where illusions seem real, where the oasis is lavish, inviting and tantalizing. It is where secrets are kept, truths are told, dreams come alive, and where
imaginative music thrives./nMirage Box's music has been described as "modern retro"; a celebration for the great songwriting and music production of the artist heyday of the late 60s
and through the 70s. Mirage Box's music and writing style reflects the various flavors of pop and rock music of the classic rock era, from lush ballads to psychedelic trippyness, high-energy rock
to playful punk, Chicago soul, Prog Rock, a dash of metal and liberal vocal harmonies. Mirage Box's music production employs many of the classic sounds and instruments of the by-gone era, but
with a modern slant. Mirage Box aims to create soundscapes, painting scenes with music that takes listeners on journeys. Fans of album rock and headphone audiophiles will appreciate Mirage Box's
compositions.
Mirage Box is a creative collaboration between Nick Coppola, a prolific songwriter and lyricist, and Chris Capozza, a multi-instrumentalist audio engineer and music producer. Mirage Box seeks to be
indefinable to one genre of music. Influenced by The Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Yes, Kansas, Genesis, Dream Theater, CS&N, The Who, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Sex
Pistols, Chicago, Styx, Asia, Jim Croce, Jimmy Buffet, Soundgarden, Boston and Steely Dan, writers Nick and Chris combine various styles as the vehicles of their original music, often employing
Mellotrons, MiniMoogs, B3s and Leslies, Taurus Pedals, doublenecks, Rickenbackers, Hofners, Les Pauls, Telecasters as well as orchestral and brass sections to create epic music, brimming with
melodies, countermelodies, cannons, counterpoints and lush vocal harmonies. There is something for everyone in Mirage Box’s music, and always new elements to be discovered.
So put on the headphones, turn down the lights, sit back, relax and join us on a musical journey as we present the contents in the Mirage Box.

LYRICS
We are/ Taking over the Earth/
With our Wayfarers and our flannel shirts/
There is/ No stopping this/
Hipster apocalypse!
I keep the beat hot, spit fire like arson…
I’m also growing beets in the community garden.
My entire apartment screams I’m an anarchist, a narcissist,
An honest-to-God starving artist.
I’m too cool for dancing.
Damnit I’m fancy.
I’m screening Fellini and Roman Polanski.
I’m ADD antsy,
A little bit angsty.
I’m Afrika Bambaataa meets Bukowski and Banksy…
Borderline brilliant, baby, dropping these bombs!
You can find me in the dive bar, writing songs.
Flaunting my irony, hiding my wealth…
I’m a little like Waldo, trying to find myself.
I’m so postmodern, what’s a genre?
Carpetbag swag from Ojai to Marfa…
And your new favorite song? Yeah… I know.
It’s pretty cool, but it sounds better on vinyl.
We are/ Taking over the Earth/
With our Wayfarers and our flannel shirts/
There is/ No stopping this/
Hipster apocalypse!
I’ll kiss you. I’ll catch you.
There’s something I mustache you…
How can I keep shopping, when all my bills are past due?
People say we’re arrogant, but they’re the ones who stare at us.
And I’d be apathetic… if I cared enough!
I can’t be serious. I’m laughing at it, true to form.
Counterculture cool, this goes out to all my Unicorns!
My hipsters, if you with me, where you at?
Rad, ratchet, rap…
Random acts of swag to keep you swerving with that Hacky Sack.
Been wearing glasses since kindergarten, still a nerd…
Elevate the vintage game from Silverlake to Williamsburg.
Getting down on that dumpster sift,
Just to be like, “Hipster, you ain’t up on this.”
And I can’t even go out and grab some food
Without a Kafka novel and an attitude.
But the big difference between me and you,
Is that I was doing this back before it was cool!
We are/ Taking over the Earth/
With our Wayfarers and our flannel shirts/
There is/ No stopping this/
Hipster apocalypse!
My beard is better than your beard.
Three steps ahead, you think my style is so weird,
But next year you’ll be wearing what I’m rocking today.
I admit it. I’m a hipster. What can I say?
I’m a hipster. I wear my jeans real tight.
I like to sleep all day. I like to party all night.
I moonlight as a consultant in media arts…
I drink pour-over coffee and PBR.
Craft distilled whiskey, double fisting…
Yeah, I’m mixing rye whiskey with bourbon,
Turning heads, I keep them dizzy.
Gimme indie-rock chicks with fixie bikes and pixie cuts
Who understand the irony of drinking IPA from sippy cups.
Yeah, boy, that’s what’s up.
I’m dropping this just to help you get turnt up.
But on a scale of one-to-ten, you’re like a two or three.
And truthfully… You’ll never be as cool as me.
We are/ Taking over the Earth/
With our Wayfarers and our flannel shirts/
There is/ No stopping this/
Hipster apocalypse!
Hipster apocalypse!
