While Brooklyn-based Boogie Boarder don’t demand to be taken seriously themselves, their crunchy, catchy, lo-fi surf rock does. With a unique sound that recalls the the power and technical prowess of your favorite Load Records acts with a more inviting, whimsical pop bent, Boogie Boarder describes their style as “the beast-lord avatar of a two-minute pop song”. The band will be releasing their second album “Pizza Hero” this summer on the Famous Class label/art-collective (Darlings, Snakes Say Hisss!) and they will be touring with their labelmates later this summer, as well as making a stop at Wham City’s Whartscape 2009 Festival.
So far all the information on the band has been cryptic, but here they are in their own words…
“Boogie Boarder started out playing shows online mostly in chatrooms, mostly PS3 pre-release rumor sites. We had all met on a pretty great dating site for EverQuest avatars and anyway it turned out that everybody in our fantasy league was totally into what we were all about. I guess it was right at the end of last preseason we signed the deal to do Charleen’s office party Superbowl halftime show and everything pretty much took off from there. Recently, we just wrapped up a sort of internship opening for a guy that can play basically any Kenny Chesney song ever recorded on Guitar Hero.
We’ve finished writing and drawing our second album, which is coming out on Famous Class summer of 2009. You’ll be able to pick it up at
Tower as soon as we settle a legal question over our use of elements from Theme to Point Break (Deets’ Lament).”
