The Baboons have been gigging around in for quite some years, sharing
stages with legendary names like The Blasters and Bo Diddley. On their
Belgian home turf they played numerous shows with the Seatsniffers.
Like their fellow countrymen, this collective has a vast record collection
which for the most part is older than the band members themselves.
They tap into a wide range of roots music, from rhythm 'n' blues and
early country to fifties rockabilly and more fine styles in the same
vein. Likewise their first full-length platter breathes the right vibe,
laid down by producer Marc Thijs, whose earlier work includes Soulwax
and blues veteran James Harman. It turned out to be a sound match in
the studio.
These gifted young bloods enjoy the skills, the gear, the sound and
the songs to leave a lasting mark. The Baboons are in it for the long
run, and with a blue-ribbon album like 'Boogie Curse' they're off to
a flying start record-wise.
