Founded in 1989, BOOGIE STUFF long since an essential part of the German Rock- and Blues scene, is going stronger than ever. Over the years Horst Tolks, Andy Brötzner and Fred Forrester established themselves by playing "High Octane Boogie" in a hard driving Texan tradition. Tours in the USA, and a continuous list of references as an opening act for international bands like Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, or Climax Blues Band, have earned them a reputation as a full

force live-act. Their unadorned and solid full speed rock catapulted BOOGIE STUFF into the upper league of Blues Rock bands.

After debuting with "Rockin' the Blues" which was followed by "...still rough 'n wild", their new release "Have Mercy" is certainly their most elaborate album up to date.

From hit potential and grooving mid tempo numbers as "Long Way To Memphis" and ballad arrangements such as Philip Lynott's "Don't Believe A Word" to high energy live tracks featuring Jimmy Carl Black - the drummer of Frank Zappa's original Mothers of Invention - as guest singer, "Have Mercy" offers everything to quicken the heartbeat of every Blues- and Southern Rock lover.
