Boo! Live @ The Half Moon Putney Live Music & Concerts


Monki Punk flamboyant crossdressing festive cult outfit from South Africa. Stewart Copeland (drummer from The Police): ‘...the best band I

Boo!

Boo! began in 1997 in the backstreets of dirty Brixton, Johannesburg, South Africa, when it’s first members, Ampie Omo, Chris Chameleon and Leon Retief conspired to make music that would go against most of the conventional wisdom of the time. Having considered names like “Yellow Lilo” and “Die Wit Ding Wat in Die Pad Le”, it was Chris’ dream of playing to the sound of a stadium boo-ing the band that eventually won out. Although the name was designed to thwart any chances of feedback on a bad performance, this contingency was never required as Boo! became not only one of South Africa’s favourite bands of all time, but also one of the country’s proudest musical exports to both Europe and North America.

During the following 7 years Boo! acquired an impressive cult following worldwide, performing approximately 800 gigs in 17 countries. Brandishing their self-styled genre “monkipunk”, Boo! performed at various European and American festivals with the likes of the White Stripes, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Franz Ferdinand, Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill, Placebo and Coldplay amongst others. The band also received a South African Music Award (SAMA) in 2002 for ‘Best Pop Album’. The band’s sound consisted of bass, drums, brass, keyboards and percussion; notably lacking guitar. In spite of this unusual orchestration, Boo! hit the number one position on the 5FM top 40 with “Stagefright” and a number two position with “OOAA”, testimony to frontman, bassist and resident drag queen, Chris Chameleon’s exceptional songwriting abilities.

In 2018 Boo! will celebrate their 21st birthday. This looks to being a momentous occasion with an album in the works, a documentary and tours in South Africa and abroad. Monki Punk may become Guerilla Punk, three may become two plus special guests, but the band worth the biggest and most appreciative denouncement of all remains on stage, electrified by that most beautiful sound to their ears: BOOOOOOOOOO!
