- Living in a Box is a British band founded in 1985. They are best known for their eponymous debut single, produced by Richard James Burgess. The group currently consists of founding members Anthony "Tich" Critchlow (drums) and Marcus Vere (synthesizers) along with vocalist Kenny Thomas.
Living in a Box were formed in 1985 in Manchester. The group named themselves after the first song they had recorded together in the studio. It was in fact this song that had brought them together in the first place. Vere and Critchlow were recording the demo version of the tune in a studio also being visited by Richard Darbyshire, an independent recording artist at the time. Richard was invited to join his two future bandmates in the studio to record vocals for the track, and the three officially became a band.
Released two years later, "Living in a Box" was their most commercially successful single, peaking at #5 on the UK Singles Chart and became the band's only single to chart in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
The lovely red haired back up singer is Tessa Niles.

@@lynngreene1993with u all the way. Bangin tune.
Every time I see Yamaha DX7 I know it is gonna be cool.
The 80's ruled. And we all knew it at the time.
The most 1987-sounding song you'll ever hear.
Hahaha yup. Softer but still powerful drum snarls (compared to 84 and 85)....some synth, some electric guitar and a driving baseline. Very 1987!
With a major ingredient borrowed from '84.
Don't forget Breakfast Club's Right On Track.
I sgree
1987 was a big life changer..all year
Amazing. How fresh still it sounds. Now, even better! 80s rule! Living In A Box, timeless music, band!
Absolutely fantastic 80s track
Such an underrated 80’s jam!
I agree with you it’s a Classic Song in my opinion.
in holland was a big hit.
Look at all these people, they are on the stage and they are having fun! I love it.
Aaahh, yes.. I believe it's a mysterious substance, discovered by many throughout the 80s; something known as "Cocaine".
Classic song,the lady is very,very nice too!!!!
I remember when Radio 1 went FM and this was on all the time. Still sounds great.
Very energetic and well performed, but young Tessa Niles is the best thing in this performance! ♥
she's still a gorgeous woman
Yes, she moves her body left and the right then left again whilst multitasking with singing the word "livin'" with no g at the end.
Smashin.

Due to trying times, I am now living in a box (a cardboard box) behind a Dollar General. However, the free wi-fi is great and it allows me to both watch this fantastic video.
The camp classic "Masters Of The Universe" (1987), starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella, brought me here!

This explosive song should never be missing from your 80s music collection: it would be like riding a Ducati Monster with a rotary tiller engine.
Solid Snake approve this.
😂
I remember dancing to this in a club loved this song.
Very very handsome man I’m remembering now.
the voice of Richard Darbyshire and the noice of Yamaha DX7... plus Johnny Hates Jazz ... plus Spandau Ballet ... the pure sound of the 80s ...
Don't forget Tears for fears
Excellent..Oui.
Помню таких.
I love this guy
I only know this from Masters of the universe. When Julie and Kevin were sitting in his truck, it was playing on the radio in that scene. As a kid I always thought that it was a strange song.
Sick tune ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
LET THE MUSIC PLAY¡¡¡
Nice
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I need to learn to play this on my keyboard.
Big big succès in France in 1987 !!!
The singers close ups are kind of funny. Music is fire 🔥
Lovely Tessa Niles
wow
Love u
This song reminds me Colonel Abrams - Trapped
AVROTROS BROADCASTING¡¡¡Really nice job¡¡¡
I kind of wish that the original audio from (what is clearly) a live performance was kept instead of overdubbing it with the album version of the song. Other than that, I think it's quite a fun tune.
The live performance had no audio, it was all playback, you can see that none of the guitars or the synths were plugged in.
What a class act Tessa Niles is.... has always been !
I’m pretty sure the bass player is ‘Tubbs’ from Light of the World,he used to be my neighbour! Hackney boys get everywhere!
I live in a jukebox!!:):)
Bluetooth wireless technologia en la guitarra de los 80s? jajajaja , un temaso , un clasico !!!
OCEANIC BLUE cutting edge technology airguitar who cares I love it

I grew up in the 80s and never heard this song once. That is until I played GTA V.

Correva l' anno 1987:Al FESTIVAL DI SAN REMO vince il trio MORANDI-RUGGERI-TOZZI con SI PUO' DARE DI PIU',ci lascia un grandissimo della MUSICA ITALIANA CLAUDIO VILLA soprannominato il REUCCIO,FIORELLA MANNOIA si classifica al settimo posto sempre a SAN REMO con QUELLO CHE LE DONNE NON DICONO e i LIVING IN A BOX escono con l' omonimo singolo LIVING IN A BOX!
Did you know That before living in a box did this song he wrote it whilst living in a box so he can name it living in a box
Great tune after stealing the bass riff from Level 42 Hot Water 1984!!
Respect!!
Glad they matured after ZU ZU Shark's!
🤫
Yes the bass riff was kindly donated by Mark King.
Richard Darbyshire (lead singer) reminds me of a dodgy thieving estate agent I once dealt with 22 years ago....
Classic.LOL.
Jason Marshall: I wouldn't mind dealing with him at all...LOL
🤣
😂😂✅👌
Gegen Müdigkeit LG 💋
BAD TO THE BONE
This is Patrick Bateman approved.
Damned 80's, you could do everything dressed in the suit and tie. Kill the gangsters or swat the guitar....best times ever.
I can't be the only one who thought I was listening to a black singer. There was never a picture of them on the single.
All those guys are cute 😍
1987 ❤❤🎹🍺🌞🕺🥂🎇
