Famous Class | 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)."

"Assuming for a moment that our beloved Ponytail had a large share in resurrecting good vibes and positive music through amazing chops and challenging, weird music, then let us postulate Boogie Boarder as another band filling in the natural order that begs for music with bigger vibes and greater positivity that still retains the crunchy guitars and aharmonic progress left to us from our great detuned forefathers."

"Best band name I've heard in a while. Name of the Brooklyn foursome's full-length? Pizza Hero. You'd have to be nuts not to want to hear it. The fact that their grungy stripe of surf rock rules doesn't hurt either."
