| The Boogiemen began as a side project for
Kevin Heckeler and Lewis Benko. Sitting in on vocals and doing some
lyric writing is Kevin's old friend Scott Watts. Also contributing
drum loops/sampling on a few songs was Californian friend Robert Rogers. The band took a break during 2004 and have returned
with a renewed sense of purpose and are looking forward to more musical
experimentation.
The Rudy Strooglitz page was
Lew's creation, Kevin helped with photo-chopping some of the pictures for
mock advertising. It remains incomplete as a tribute to something
deep.
Kevin Heckeler: Self-taught producer of such other
hit bands as Slightly Dimmed and
Dischord, Kevin
was really stretching his mental capacity by using absolutely any part of
his mind during these recordings. Biggest influences are Rush, Frank
Zappa, Tool, Pink Floyd, QOTSA, Dream Theater, Primus, Yes, ... the list
goes on.
Lewis Benko: Lewis, also known as Lonesome Lewis,
is from a small town in CT. He began to play the guitar at age 11, and
was introduced to the blues by age 15. Some of his favorite artists
include Mississippi John Hurt, Prokofiev, Cecil Taylor, Captain Beefheart,
and Buckethead. Click here to hear some songs from
Lew's prior projects.

Scott Watts:
singer, songwriter, screenwriter, filmmaker and
schizophrenic, is a proud resident of Los Angeles, California (and by proud
he means (yes he, don’t act so surprised, he is clearly writing this
himself…) he means that he regularly suffers from intense road rage, refers
to himself as a transplant and as a proud New Yorker (at which time everyone
assumes he means New York City) and has consumed Avocado in the last twelve
hours) took vocal lessons at a very young age from a wild pack of Hyenas and
an old, wise Howler Monkey, who liked to sit in the sun and listen to Jazz
because of how it made his hair feel when the trumpet player hit those high
notes, in a one room school-house in a very remote part of Maine that
smelled like feet and fresh-cut flowers.
Today he thinks he still likes music. He
says it helps him make sense of all the chaos! Or maybe he’s thinking too
much!
Oliver: He's a
cat and meows on "I have thoughts in my mind". His favorite people are
silly, passionate, and willing to clean his litter pan.
