Boo Frog at Plan B 9/29 and in Portland Mercury

Erika Katrin — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:00:02 +0000

Boo Frog’s lyrical garage oblivion is stamped with just a kiss of the hoodoo, enough to spellbind even the most skeptical of our city’s storied punk scene. Not that Chris Newman needs to employ folk magic to impress. The legacy of his former band, Napalm Beach, is one whose influence will not soon fade away. Along with Dead Moon’s Fred Cole and the Wipers’ Greg Sage, Newman helped create the Portland punk offshoot that prefaced the ’90s movement we all know as “grunge.” But those days were long ago, and since then Newman’s been through the mill, even spending a few years in Tarp Town, San Francisco. Meanwhile, his music has only gotten better. It’s evolved into a distinctly swampy version of itself, as though it’s been dredged through the pits and rescued at just the last moment: nearly fossilized and slowly dripping. CHRIS CANTINO

PDX ROOTS MUSIC – Boo Frog in Willamette Week this week

Erika Katrin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:56:26 +0000

[PDX ROOTS MUSIC] Boo Frog is the Portland band that best pays tribute to both the Fuggs’ whimsical, poetic ’60s humor and Ween’s psychedelic mid-’90s silliness. Drenched in reverb-strewn low-fi credibility, Boo Frog eschews songwriting convention and puts its songs first. With members who’ve shared the stage with every punk band that mattered from Portland’s 1980s music scene—co-founder Chris Newman is perhaps better known for his work in Napalm Beach—Boo Frog knows the music is all that matters. Always independent, the band just released Better Than the Rest on vinyl in July of this year, followed shortly thereafter by the Undead at Satyricon live cassette. So if you want to see some real-deal musical history that the cool kids were into when you were just a pup, check Boo Frog out. JOHN ISAACSON, Willamette Week 15 September 2011 9:30 pm, Saturday September 17 | $6 Tonic Lounge, 3100 NE Sandy Blvd.
