Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls…Cat’s and Dog’s? In the bland and white world of the love ‘em and leave ‘em Big Music Business, there’s something very colorful and forever endearing coming our way. Satisfaction is the feeling knowing there is a band like Ride The Boogie around. From the unforgettable tales about their entourage of fictional friends and groupies, to the unstoppable melodious grooves, this group of individuals is genuinely humble and quite like-able. This simple yet sophisticated orchestra are true to their art as musicians as they are true to each other as friends, who fortunately met as a result of their prior musical endeavors and who enjoy each other’s company as much as they like writing and playing their inventive and coaxing music together.
While writing, touring and playing guitar in Denver, CO based band Vaux, Adam Tymn kept busy, and somewhat sane by writing what would eventually become some of the first Ride The Boogie songs. Tymn coined the name by describing what he thought these songs would make you wanna do, in any way, any form, Boogie! Adam kept these songs and ideas close to him until he met former label mate and Places to Park drummer Glenn Pinson. The two met at the second stop of the 2002 Vans Warped Tour in Denver, a long way from Glenn's home in Florida. " When I first met Adam we hit it off." states Pinson. "We had a lot in common. We both played the same part in our own bands. We wrote a lot of the music and lyrics for the bands we were in and for ourselves, so when Adam asked me if I wanted to hear some of his own music, I was all ears. I remember thinking, ("there's no way this shit is this good! "). I had songs of my own that I showed Adam, and he was just as stoked. That day still sits in my head as an effortlessly memorable event." From that moment on, Adam and Glenn would write and record together no matter how far they had to travel. While on the same Warped tour they met, together they recorded one of many demos of "Mustache Riders " on the John Lennon Recording bus. "I became friends with the guys on the Lennon bus, which had a full studio setup, electric drum kit. amps, keys..." recalls Tymn. It was that recording that caught the ears of fellow road slaves Kevin Burwick and Billy Pena. Their band, Arkham was on the same label that boasted Adams' and Glenns' bands. "When we heard what they were doing, we wanted to add our stash to the pile." proclaims Burwick. " I figure, I got all these crazy ass ideas screaming to escape from my big furry head, why not let 'em out to play." With all future Boogie members assuming the same role in different bands, they went their separate ways but always kept in touch by writing and creating new Boogie songs. For the past 5 years, over a hundred songs have been written and recorded, both separately and together, and with all former bands now defunct, members of Ride The Boogie have the freedom to concentrate on what they all have wanted to do for so long, Ride The Boogie.
Ride The Boogie's initial forays into live performances weren’t exactly stunning achievements in stage artistry, according to Pinson, “At first, we were just trying to figure out what we wanted to do. We tried it out as a two piece, simply out of necessity. Adam and I were learning to be front-men and it was just as exciting as it was nerve racking. We just wanted to play and sound good. We knew that we wanted to perform as a full band. We wanted Kevin and Billy.” Until all members could commit on live performances, they kept writing. The band lived to write and play and write and play they did. As piano parts and riffs sailed from one another via the all mighty Internet, Ride The Boogie found more confidence in their writing. It was through writing that the band was able to perform explains Burwick, “The songs become a part of you to the point where you could pick up any instrument and just jam one out.” When they finally settled on a lineup, they began playing shows at local venues, which further broadened their formidable chops and established a cult of loyal Boogiers. Drummer, Billy Pena was an important addition to the Boogie, says Tymn, "As we all know, he is the Tilde. We didn’t want anybody we didn’t know and besides the kid is quite a musician. He is very adaptable and he is very produce-able. We would tell him what we wanted and he would give us just that. Then he would say, “...well how about a little of this?” and it was that little bit more or less we were looking for.”
For the new self-titled disc, Ride The Boogie all got together at the same time, in the same state, in the same studio, which they’d never done before, and, at producer/engineer Troolines’ insistence, got tens days of work done in five days. Says Tymn, “We knew what we wanted our record to sound like, unfortunately, we had only five days to get basic tracks and vocals down. Fortunately, we were able to take all of the tracks back to our home studios and do loads of post-production work to the album,” a trick Tymn learned from Jacknife Lee (Snow Patrol/U2). “We think of a record as a chance to broadcast your thoughts and dreams. It is also a time to get specific with certain sounds and see how each track works with the others,” Pinson states, “I was very pleased with the sounds we were able to capture at both Mike’s studio and at our home studios.” Troolines proved an inspiring force for the band, sometimes if only to affirm their belief in doing things their own way.
Produced by Ride The Boogie/Mike Troolines, this album reveals Ride The Boogie in a full scale attempt to tell a tale filled with textural and harmonious grandeur everyone will love. With 11 dear and sometimes dark songs about an elusive "Big Ass Bass”, a not so “Miss Perfect”, a place somewhere down in “Mexico” and a couple of “Mustache Riders”, among other provocatively ambiguous themes. The album speaks with an accomplished toungue well matched to those themes, a viscous solution of feral fuzz amid supported harmony, pulling powerfully with organic instrumentation and propulsive shuffling percussion. That melodic/toughness no doubt encouraged Longhair Illuminati Records to sign Ride The Boogie for an album. A band filling up discreet bars and clubs across the U.S. demonstrating their 50 plus song repertoire, is an asset any aspiring recording outfit looks for in a band, and with a finished record also under their belts, time was the only matter before this band was snatched up by a label ready for something new and exciting.
It’s all there, black and white and every other color of the rainbow. Now close your eyes and listen. The album’s greatness will be proven by its inevitable acclaim that will follow. Embrace the characters of these clever riddles and let the Riders of The Boogie continue to ride on strangely and knowingly.
