Everyone is talking about Boogie Fever!!!  Founded in the summer of 1998 in 
the Inland Empire, Jeff Stone had an idea for a 70's tribute dance band that 
was a little "different" from the current crop of 70's retro bands that were 
springing up in the Southern California music scene.  Formed from remaining 
members of the local favorite classic rock band Potty Mouth, the power trio 
foundation for Boogie Fever was already in place.  Members forming this trio 
include hard-driving drummer "Too Hip" Steve Giba, rock steady bassist Woody 
"Woodman" Smith, and the keyboard artistry of band leader and Boogie Fever 
founder, Jeff Stone aka "Duke" Hanson. 

After an exhaustive search, the perfect lead vocalist(s) and guitarist were 
finally discovered and incorporated into the Boogie Fever line-up, to round 
out what is fast becoming known as the best 70's era disco dance band in 
Southern California.  Sharing lead vocals: "dynamic, soulful, inspiring, and 
often provocative", Lisa Furr, blended perfectly with the "power trio".  The 
recent addition of Robert "Bobbie G." Galbreath gives Boogie Fever the 
flexibility of using either a male or female vocalist depending on venue 
preference.  Included is the awesome 6-string wizardry of guitarist Todd "The 
Professor" McDearmon, thus completing the five-piece line-up of Boogie Fever. 
 
To see and hear Boogie Fever "live" is to transport oneself back in time 
twenty-five years to the heyday of the disco dance era when music was fun, 
sexy and always a fantastically entertaining party!  

What makes Boogie Fever "different" from other 70's retro dance bands as 
mentioned above???  Simple . . . . to attend a Boogie Fever show is to 
witness a completely 100% live self-contained band!!!  Many if not all of the 
70's era tribute bands coming and going around Southern California use 
mini-discs/CD's with pre-recorded instruments and vocals, playing to a click 
track, and often times "lip-syncing" many vocal parts . . . even complete 
instrument parts!!!  Band leader Jeff Stone and the other band members saw 
this as somewhat of a deception to the paying public, (can you say Milli 
Vanilli?), and assembled the finest musicians, (not actors!), available to 
provide a truly live experience for dancing partygoers.  

The advantage of a totally live band is that there are no restrictions to 
audience interaction.  Songs can be played as long or as short as needed, 
given the mood of the crowd, without having to rely on the time constraints 
of a pre-recorded mini-disc/CD.  Every note Boogie Fever plays or sings is 
provided by real band members playing real instruments in real-time with no 
pre-recorded music or lip-syncing gimmickry.  It's hard to believe that all 
this sound is generated from only five musicians on stage covering all 
musical/vocal parts and playing authentic 70's music from an era where many 
bands at that time often had ten or more players.  Seeing and hearing "is" 
believing and awe inspiring!!!  

Members of Boogie Fever have held extended engagements at such high profile 
Los Angeles area venues as "Billboard Live", "The Coconut Teaser", the "House 
of Blues" on the Hollywood Strip, "Aftershock" in Studio City, "Pompeii" in 
Palm Springs, "The Ritz Carlton" in Pasadena and Laguna, Disneyland "After 
Dark", and a host of others with upcoming engagements in Las Vegas, Laughlin, 
Hawaii and Northern California.  

Boogie Fever recently hosted "Y2K New Year's Eve Celebrations" at Gordon 
Biersch Brewery in the City of Orange.  This is Boogie Fever's second 
straight year providing entertainment for Gordon Biersch Brewery's with these 
events being highly successful.  

Boogie Fever . . . . the last word in live 70's Disco Dance Entertainment!!
