Hugh Deneal, the lead singer/frontman of Woodbox Gang, set up a business (selling blank tshirts to screenprinters) called “Printvest” in 2006 and collected investments from about 500 members under the online program “Hyippy Love” to support his business. Everything was in fact actually a ponzi/pyramid scheme in disguise. About a total of '''FOUR MILLION''' dollars was entrusted to Mr Hugh. It has been close to 2 years and he has yet to pay us back our principal. We urge Woodbox Gang fans to boycott the band - DO NOT buy their albums and support them at gigs because you are indirectly supporting a criminal. This is not a joke. We are now officially reporting this scam to the authorities. |

The Woodbox Gang is a band formerly based in Herod, Illinois, now out of Makanda, Illinois. They play an eclectic, unique style of bluegrass music labeled by some as "insurgent Americana," "jug-punk," "y'allternative," and "funk-a-billy;" though they prefer the terms "caustic acoustic" and "trashcan Americana" (also the name of one of their albums).
The band originated as the trio of dobro player Brad Bolin and the brothers Hugh (guitar, kazoo, and vocals) and Brian (bass) DeNeal in 1999. Bolin soon left the band, but rejoined in 2000 along with Alex Kirt (assorted jug percussion, washboard, banjo, kazoo, harmonica, didgeridoo, slide resonator guitar, drum, vocals, stompboard, and gutbucket), however Bolin left once again because, in the-joking-words of Hugh DeNeal, "After one gig at the Yellow Moon, our dobro player left us once again. I believe he felt that he did not receive enough attention as a cross-dressing androgynous bluegrass picker." They were later joined by Greg Edwards (bass), Ratliff Dean Thiebaud (guitar and vocals), and Dan Goett (banjo, mandolin, dobro, guitar.)
