Bôa are a British alternative/indie band formed in London in 1993.

Initially a funk band, Bôa had only been made up of drummer Ed Herten, keyboardist Paul Turrell, and Steve Rodgers on guitar and vocals. As their popularity grew, so did their band; they recruited Alex Caird on bass guitar, Ben Henderson on saxophone, and Steve's younger sister Jasmine Rodgers on lead vocals.

Not to be confused with BoA.


Bôa (UK band) provides examples of the following tropes:
  • Band of Relatives: Steve and Jasmine Rodgers, who are brother and sister.
  • One Degree of Separation: Alex Caird had played with Ed Herten in another band prior; Ben Henderson had played in another band entirely with Alex also prior to joining Bôa.
