ENDLESS BOOGIE

yo jax! what up my friend .. dude i am around but more or less working due to work ... ah well

i hate to dissent with some of my fave posters, i love trad gras och stenar and all but endless boogie is some boring ass bullshit imo and to piss everyone off even more i'm gonna whip out this comparison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfu8Dx0N6uY

Endless Boogie are fun live and pretty much the only good band that's played Jersey City (other than the big theater in Journal Square) since Uncle Joe's closed, so I like them for that. They're pretty boring on record though.

When I was living in Venice Beach, I had a fig tree in my yard. Beneath the tree sat the smoker I had built out of large terra cotta pots and a hotplate. The figs literally fell into the smoker and I took it as a sign. I took a bunch of ripe figs, cut them in half, placed them in a Pyrex dish cut side up, added a quarter-to-half inch of fruit juice (I used different juices on different occasions), and smoked them for a few hours . . . occasionally turning the figs in the ever-reducing juice . . . but always leaving them cut side up so they could more easily continue drying out . . . and then turning them cut side down for the last half-hour or so to soften the cut side a bit in the now-reduced-to-a-smokey-syrup juice. They were awesome with cured meats, on ice cream, and with just about anything else. Smoked candied figs! Shoot me an email if you want more info on how to build a kick-ass smoker for well under $100.

i got the pots on.. and the gas.. is on high.

i am listening to The Fluid's 'Clear Black Paper' right now though, and i have to say it sounds better than Endless Boogie

-- Stormy Davis

might be fun to see live.

Do you drink?

lots

and, yeah, it makes almost anything "fun to see live"

these guys... you're either picking up what they're putting down or you're not. I like the first 2 eps better than the new one. the less they try the better I like 'em, and of the vocals I am not a fan. but you know what thumbs up to them and their mission.

and whatever blues control alb has "always on time" is the one you need. scott or whoever.

yikes, at the beginning of Smokin Figs I was afraid I was gonna hate this record. agree that the vocals can be tough to take at times (almost Jon Spencer-ish?)

gets way better as it rolls along and they just zone the fuck out into some raga-rock

As New York 90s indie's official mascot/joke band, I kind of get a kick out of them. I have no idea why I would purchase their record though.

us maple owns these clowns.

the manly vibe.

us maple owns these clowns.

No Alex-in-NYC nostril-flaring, plz. Just BOOGIE.

blues control is music for eternity (or at least the next 20 minutes) and endless boogie is music i want to resolve. I like boring music and can't stand the EB.

it resolves in me waiting for the needle to pick up.

Blues Control>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Religious Knives>>>>Endless Boogie

hum, i'm offloading my copy of the white 12" on ebay right now and judging by the number of watches it appears absolutely nobody cares.

further to the above more people care than do about religious knives' first lp though!

Those bands have absolutely nothing in common except that they're all better than your shitty band

Jon Spencer LOL most clueless thread ever

Yep

Jon Spencer LOL most clueless thread ever

5 yo daughter is a big fan of "the manly vibe"

when I try to skip forward to "jammin with top dollar" after "smoking figs" I get yelled at

still think the 1st track on the 1st EP is better than anything they've done since

I listen to this shit when I work out

some dude in my building built a mini gym in a tiny concrete basement room by putting in weights and putting up discarded mirrors and broken medicine cabinets

I'm skinny and I post

yeah songs about smoking dope make me wanna burn some calories too

sounds like dude in yr building is gearing up for some hostel action watch yr back

is there a flickering fluorescent light in this room

yeah the switch that controls it has a little note that says "turn light OFF!" next to it. Up until now I've assumed that it meant when I was done.

ahhhh what a great article!

the boog needs to come out west pretty soon.

still lol at this

love em, though

yeah, that article was quite nice. i'm glad the boogie translates overseas.
i think i sold my copy of focus level one day when i needed to buy food or weed or both :\ but i still got the EPs, and I figure I'll stumble on a cheap used copy of focus level sometime when i need it back in my life...

still in print, right?

Pretty sure you guys are missing out on the comedy value of Endless Boogie being bigged up by the fucking SPECTATOR - just fyi

Are they really 50+ years old each??

they look to be pushin it

1) thats not how addition works
2) double leopards dude quit the band a while ago!

Should have said 'average' I spose but was just going on "four middle-aged music geeks with a combined age of more than 200 years"

it does seem tough to add right, unless paul majors is secretly 75 years old

new CD out as a promo now, rockin "Tarmac City" on my radio show. pretty good!

where is your show

kwvaradio.org, Eugene Oregon

it has been in the shops for a while.

need to get this

"New Pair Of Shoes" getting into some hot Beefheart territory, damn.

Never heard of these guys until Pitchfork reviewed Full House Head the other day. Listening to it now, and they are officially the first good band I've ever learned about from that site. The riff to "Empty Eye" is pure Junior Kimbrough awesomeness. What I like about these dudes is that unlike a lot of other contemporary heavy blooze-rawk boogie outfits (Amplified Heat, for example), they don't tip too far in the direction of stoner metal. They're definitely in the spirit of early '70s stuff, but unique. Like this a lot.

Bloody hell is "A Life Worth Leading" the right kind of monstrous boogie jam.

I don't know if I'm getting old or if Endless Boogie is legit the best rock'n'roll band out there right now. Finally saw them live last fall and it was scorching.

Anyways, their 2 initial private press LPs are getting reissued via No Quarter: https://endlessboogie.bandcamp.com/album/vol-i-ii

Also, the tour-only CDR/download No Favors is worth it for the two 20-minute jams alone, and a particularly beefy "Taking Out The Trash": https://endlessboogie.bandcamp.com/album/no-favors

/fan-boy post

glad those first records are getting reissued — i just have 'em on cruddy CDRs.

feel like my niche matt sweeney joke on this thread in 2013 didn't get enough appreciation.

looking forward to his tell-all memoir, Zwan's Way

and yeah, No Favors has some seriously great stuff on it.

thread revive inspired me to blast out vibe killer - they've still got it!

Glad those early jams are getting a reissue, just ordered mine, my old cd-r disappeared a long time back, ha

Yeah seeing them back in September was a real treat.

"stanton karma"

Glad to see Burt's making music
