About The Boogiemen Inc.
Norwegian
rock`n`roll
band,
The Boogiemen
Inc. started
their
career in
the early
nineties,
and
have since
then
steadily
been
making
records
and playing
gigs all
around
their
homeland.
The
band started out as a purist blues and rhythm and blues band, but
have over the years evolved into a more hard edge rock`n`roll band in
the Stones/Faces vein. Playing mainly original material with
influences ranging from fifties rockabilly, R&B, country and
western, to modern day heavy guitar rock.The band have always relied
on a solid blues fundament, and is considered a spectacular live act
in their native land.
In
july 2012 the band put out the CD/LP ”Rocket
Surgery” consisting of twelve brand new
The Boogiemen Inc. originals.
This is the
bands eight record release since 1993.
The Boogiemen
Inc. have always stayed true to
their passion and
love for rock`n`roll music, and sticking to their own path rather
than jumping on bandwagons and following ever changing musical
trends. At the same time the band would like to be perceived as a
band with their feet firmly in the present and looking ahead rather
than someone who`s tryin to recreate the past.
Still
- a Chuck Berry
intro works just as good in 2012 as in 1955.
