The Boogies

About Me

The Boogies play honest, heartfelt, American roots rock, and they do it with plenty of passion and emotion. There are no pretensions or illusions about looking pretty. These guys come out to play and they mean business. The minute they hit the stage, its balls to the wall rock and roll--from the first note until the last. These guys simply give it their all, make ya big toe kick up in ya boot.
The Band formed out of the remnants of an earlier incarnation know as The Nerve Endings. The Nerve Endings played bars around the Bay Area and destroyed people with their high energy and enthusiasm. The band broke up about five years ago, but the musical bond between the members remained strong.
The story of the Boogies began about 20 years ago. Brothers Heavy G and 'Trick' started playing high energy rock together when they were young lads growing up in Pittsburg, California. Times were rough back then, but rock and roll kept the boys off the streets. The brothers rocked many a block party. In 2000 they found the missing piece to their rock and roll puzzle in the form of bass player Boon 'Tang' Sramala. Boontang's thunderous bass playing was just what the doctor ordered.
But the brothers still needed another guitarist to give them the big sound they were looking for. They decided to contact an old friend from high school. Phil "Cap'n Cock' Corsetti jumped at the chance to play with these local legends and the Boogies were formed.
