Changes

<br />Parachute 06 was Anthony's final gig with the band, but the beginning of what proved to be an incredible final year for Cubed. Immediately after the festival ended, the band (with Anthony) went into the studio to record their Debut EP ''Italic text'' Lightbox''Italic text''. The name was inspired simply by a tool used for tracing but the CD was named Lightbox in the faith that a disc in a box can bring light into people's lives. Featuring the crowd favourites ''Italic text''God Bless Rock And Roll, Close''Italic text'' and ''Italic text''The Banana Song''Italic text'', once the word was out, CDs sold fast.After the recording process was over Anthony left for Otago and the band took a break, playing only one gig as a three piece before Ben Eichler took up the role of lead guitarist. More gigs at local youth groups where the band had become part of the staple diet of music took place as well as nearby Feilding. Lightbox sold well and a second pressing was done, with a new color scheme. The year was rounded off by a roadtrip to Gisborne where the band rockumentary ''Italic text''Thingy''Italic text'' was filmed. (Cubed Yearbook 2006).

<br />In early 2007 the band knew the end was nigh as original member and songwriter Josh would have to leave to study Bass Guitar at University in mid February. A second EP was recorded for posterity, featuring all of the band's best songs that weren't on Lightbox, including ''Italic text''Before You, I Like You, Surrender''Italic text'' and ''Italic text''Take All Of Me''Italic text''. Another important track of this recording is the new version of ''Italic text''Winning Streak''Italic text''. All seven past and present band members were present for the recording of the song and all provided vocal parts. Parachute 07 was the band's final gig and was meticulously planned to be a concert to remember. The best songs from both EPs were played, some with new twists (including a fugal screamo part in ''Italic text''Close''Italic text'') and plastic guitars were mutilated on stage. It is unlikely that many bands have ended on a higher, madder note.
