Boondoggle was formed in 1995. With only 3 of the 6 original members, Boondoggle has redefined its sound with each new line-up. The shows are explosive and driven by a core of fans known as 'Dogglers.' They show up in droves to dance, scream lyrics back to the band and drink top shelf liquor.
Currently, Boondoggle consists of Marni Green as Front Woman, rhythm guitarist, concertina freak and percussion princess, Jeremy Monteleone on the booming bass, Chris Bocast (formerly of Mission UK)on guitar, piano, backing vocals and ebow, Darren Soule on Trumpet and synth and Chuck Shannon on Drums. From the classically trained, to the self-taught, we blend our love of genres to produce a sound even the local paper said was 'truly original, inventive, danceable and unabashedly cheerful.' (Malcom Lucard-The Independent).
After some personal and professional challenges, Boondoggle has built a strong following of fans from Colorado to South Carolina. With the release of our new CD 'Bar Fly,' Boondoggle is furthering its reach with radio play and retail distribution. Driving, articulate, sarcastic and catchy, 'Bar Fly' is a perfect blend of styles and theme, all relating back to the main subject of what drives Americans to drink. 'Texas of the World' is our contribution to the 2004 election and will be available for free downloads through election Tuesday at www.boonie.com. No matter what your age, lifestyle or political affiliation, Boondoggle is one charismatic presence bound to get your toes tapping.
