Although Ibiza was crackin’, a man can only drink so much tequila and be pampered by so many beautiful women before he starts to lose his will to ever get up outta the hammock! 

While our boys from Band X have been holding down the fort here in MKE & we’ve been doin’ a whole lotta nothing, our Boogie faithful have been patiently waiting for the summer schedule.  That said, just click on any of the shows at the right, to get the 411 on the shows that we’ll be performing at this summer.

We kick things off Wednesday June 3rd for “Wednesday Night Live” at State Fair Park & likely will wrap up the summer at The Milwaukee Journal Sentinal’s “Ala Carte” at Milwaukee County Zoo in late August.

We’ve missed y’all!  Till next time…

Peace, love & all that hippie s#!t, 

The B-Men

Y’all up in the Boogie Nation may have noticed that your favorite afro-headed funkateers have been laying low as of late!  It’s all part of the grand plan my friends!  Me, the Reverend, Flash, Ray-Rodd, Lamont & Sweetwater are taking some well deserved recreation time after 12 years of rockin’ the fine folks of Wisconsin.  We’ll be back in action for summer of 2009 & if you’re not a lawyer (or any part of the legal system) and need to find us, contact our agent, Neil Hawes of TEC at 262-821-0309.

In the meantime, do us proud and get out to support our longtime opening band: “Band X.” (Spawn of the Boogie Men!) Check out live dates, sign up for the email and/or text message list, see photos a7 suggest songs for our friends at www.bandxrocks.com

Our boys, “Band X” (Spawn of the Boogie Men) have finally decided to pull themselves out of the shadows of the B-men & will be headlining their own shows beginning Saturday, April 26 at Rooters in Waukesha!  They’ve got a big production planned and we couldn’t be happier for our young prote’ge’s!

To go along with their new songs, new production & new attitude, they’ve got themselves a new website as well.  It’s a work in progress & they’re looking to you for suggestions on how to improve it as they go along!  the address is: www.bandxrocks.com

The Band X boys will continue to do shows with the B-men throughout the year, so be sure to watch both boogiemen.com & bandxrocks.com for show updates!

You may have realized lately that our site has been down a bit and you also will notice that there are portions of our site that aren’t currently turned on (Photos for example). It would seem that some crazy hacker from the middle east has decided to pick on The Boogie Men - As we apparently epitomize all that is wrong with the western world in his extremist eyes! (Nice!) I’d just like to be the second (After Rodney King) to plead, “Can’t we all just get along??”

Anyway, you may have heard the rumblings that our boys, Band X are launching their plan for world domination (Well, S.E. Wisconsin anyway). Their big kickoff show will be at Rooters on April 26th. They will also be launching their own website soon. Ahh, it’s so sad to see the youngsters grow up! Till next time - Peace, love & all that hippie sh*&t!

Call me a sucker for sentimentality but with Thanksgiving coming up, I always think about the things in life that I’m most thankful for! My family, friends, band, health, blessings & opportunities are always high on the list. Now I’d like to thank all of the people that have supported this band year in and year out! This year has been great and the shows this fall have been exceptional! Thanks to The Dry Bean, UWM, The Coach House & Rooters for housing such great parties that were thrilled to have hosted this fall. We’ve got a few more coming up before we put a fork in 2007! Thanks to all of you, that have made all of this, so worthwhile.

Band X & The B-men want to take a minute to thank our boy, Bill for the photos that he’s been taking for the band (As seen under the “Latest Boogie Images” tab). It’s amazing what a few free beers can get you these days!

Special thanks to Shelli G. for setting this up for us! If you want to check it out click… The Boogiemen on MySpace

Well Boogie faithful, its been a while but we’ve got ourselves a completely revamped Boogie Men site! We need to send a very special “THANK YOU!” out to Kerry Mann & Boone Sesvold for doing such a great job on the site! If anybody out there in the Boogie Nation needs any web design work done, you can contact Kerry at: mannj24@yahoo.com or Boone at: sesvoldj@msoe.eduÂ

Be sure to kick the tires of the new site & let us know what you like and what other ideas you might have for it.Â

Till next time, “Keep on keepin’ on!”

The B-men

The midwest’s favorite 1970’s throwbacks show that life isn’t all just limousines, babes & playing for thousands…
