The Boo Jays – Happy Halloween
SIDE A
WE DRANK YOUR BLOOD WITH THE OWLS
SIDE B
Recorded by Naveed Mir @ Planet Claire in Portland, OR.
Written and Performed by Naveed Mir.
Mastered by Ben Greenspan in Boston, MA.
“The Boo Jays play some hardcore new wave surf spy punk that make it absolutely necessary to throw on some Ray Bans and act like a badass. The video for their new tune “Creepy Crawlin’” has the trio grabbing a blonde blow up doll and a Cocker Spaniel to round out the Mystery Inc crew. The only other difference between The Boo Jays and Scooby-Doo’s gang is that I don’t think Shaggy and them ever found themselves in a Monster Mash whore house. Probably not too safe to watch at work, unless your boss is down with Dracula BJs.” – Anti-Gravity Blogspot
“The trio from Portland unleashes on unsuspecting listeners a mix of surf, punk, post punk and psychedelia drowned in distortion, from what we hear very often nowadays. Within the four tracks of this EP their second Boo Jays have time to combine the Birthday Party and B 52 ‘s in Spider Party, to record the soundtrack for a porn film shot in a haunted house in the surf molested Creepy Crawlin’, and show that through the noise they can make obscure tunes beautiful to Mauthaus (the wonderful vocals and organ) and We Drunk Your Blood With The Owls (!). Add these vocals that sound like going through the cave (something like Beat Happening or God Bullies) and you have the perfect birthday gift for a psychopath friend or appropriate-sounding to scare your neighbors. I definitely want to hear more soon from these guys!” - Stereoworld.gr
“Naveed of The Boo Jays hooked us up with their debut 7″ coming June 24th on Astrodorque Records. Monster Mash-influenced psych. Baritone vocals. Heavy bass grooves. Very fucking cool. Better appreciated when listening through headphones. I’ll be bumpin’ this shit hard when I’m drinking my Fighting Cock on the rocks this weekend. Four tracks on glow-in-the-dark vinyl. A must have. Keep an eye out.” – Ongakubaka
“A bastard child of B-52’s, surf and psychedelic rock (and, according to press release, Nirvana – although I can hardly hear their influence on this record), Boo Jays are a Portland, OR quintet that sound like they got hold of time machine (or, alternatively, got stuck in the 60s).” -
