THePETEBOX has toured around the UK, Africa, France, Norway, Czech Republic, and appeared at Isle of Wight, Bestival, V, Leeds, Reading, Latitude, Creamfields and Glastonbury festivals.

In 2007, THePETEBOX featured in a TV advert for Movistar mobile phones.[1] The advert aired in March 2007 in Mexico and will be shown in Panama and Guatemala later in the year. THePETEBOX is also a member of the bands Swimming[2] and WeShowUpOnRadar.[3]
