Endless Boogie

"On their 1968 album Living the Blues, Canned Heat set some kind of jam-endurance record with the live 40 -minute track "Refried Hockey Boogie." The New York quartet Endless Boogie go even further — 79 minutes — on their fantastic, note-perfect update of electric-blues drone and railroad rhythm, Focus Level (No Quarter). The album is divided into 10 so -to -speak songs, such as the Can-like chug "The Manly Vibe" and "Executive Focus," a dead ringer for a 1971 Pink Fairies wig-out. But the cumulative effect of the hog -sneeze distortion, twin -guitar skirmishes and John Lee Hooker -style chooglin! is nonstop stoner-rock delight. The vocals are cartoon -demon yowling, but the rest is as authentic as my old Groundhogs LPs. Singer-guitarist Top Dollar (the band members use pseudonyms) is also a renowned rare-record dealer — real name Paul Major — who has now made an album as freaky as those he sells." - Rolling Stone

David Pajo on Endless Boogie

Paul Major is from Louisville Kentucky although he has a good decade or so on me. Drinking a 6 pack at Endless Boogie practice has to be one of my fondest memories of New York. I saw a copy of the record collector fanzine he used to do and it is deep genius, way over my head. You dont discover Endless Boogie, they discover you.
