I'm Heavy Duty!

My friend Ben sent this great story and I thought I would post just the way it is. It’s perfect.

Tracy,

Making my every so often check in of your page. It’s INCREDIBLE! Great stuff here as always. Read all of the Beastie Boys/Biz Markie stuff. Great vids too. Thanks for posting all of this.

I can’t imagine there is a recorded band you do not know about…but JUST in case I am suggesting The Bogmen. I first saw them when they opened for KISS in 1996 at Hampton Coliseum. They were booed mercilessly but hung in through their entire set. “Screw you we get to see Kiss every night for free” said lead singer Billy Campion to the angry crowd.

After the show I found their album (they put out 2, the second one pales in comparison) “Life begins at 40 million”. Produced by Jerry Harrison. I LOVE it. No one else I have ever given it to does LOL.

Check out the vid I attached above, it’s one of the best songs on the record and the video shows a little bit about how they are live. They have since broken up, reuniting occasionally in the NY area for benefits mostly. Try to hang in there with the video at least until he starts to spin!

Billy Campion now calls himself Vic Thrill and has several albums of his own. I am not all that familiar with his solo work I just love that first Bogmen record and thought if you don’t know it, you might too.

Take care brother

-Ben

I didn’t know about The Bogmen until now. Thank you, Ben.
