Patrick from Titus did that guest list thing on pitchfork yesterday and gave a little love.

Favorite New Band

“Boogie Boarder are kind of a spaz band from Brooklyn. They have lots of bad-ass riffs but also lots of wanky goodness, and they definitely know how to entertain. They have a lot of that reckless abandon that’s at the heart of all great rock’n'roll music. The bass player plays this half bass-half guitar thing in the tradition of the Presidents of the United States of America. And their album Pizza Hero comes with a really beautiful zine with all these really nice drawings. A lot of bang for your buck.”

Both bands went to the studio at breakthruradio.com and recorded some jamz last fall. old news yes but still fun!

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. If you were always amused and confused as to how Phish could cite Sonic Youth as an influence, Boogie Boarder’s new album Pizza Hero takes us one more step closer to knocking some righteous sense into the equation.

This is Ed Zipco’s friend’s band. Ed says they have been “really killing shows lately” and that they’ve “become the really dependable, really good vibes backbone of most rock shows since spring.” He says that the drummer, Cyrus, is “one of the most solid guys in the Brooklyn show community.” Furthermore, Cyrus runs this label called Famous Class that puts out cute CDs that come with little comic books. If that’s not enough to make you go, “Holy balls!” and run out and buy this, I officially throw my hands up in the air in the universal sign of “Your loss, loser.”

Sometimes people talk about how they picked up a record only because they loved the cover art. They’ll talk about how they had never heard the music, how just based on what their eyeballs were saying, that record was for them. If I was browsing and ready to make a selection based on nothing but names or titling, Boogie Boarder records would be leaving the store with me. 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.
