Afternoon Bites: Thurston Moore’s New Band, Pie Chart “2666,” Endless Boogie, and More

On February 20, 2013 By Vol.1 Brooklyn

“Endless Boogie gets one over on other longform rock outfits like Wooden Shjips because they don’t make it look easy. Some of these other jammy/think-they’re-rockin’ outfits are content to just ride a groove until they think no one’s listening anymore. Endless Boogie goes a lot deeper.” Doug Mosurock on Endless Boogie’s Long Island.

Joyland’s podcast, Truth & Fiction, features Emily Schultz in conversation with Emily St. John Mandel.
