Bronco Boo aka Mark E and Katie Boo of soul group 97.5 team up for this sweet 70s radio rock pop record. That single sounds like Fleetwood Mac, innit?
Debut album from dynamic bicoastal duo Boo Boos (Katie Boo and Bronco Boo).
Katie Boo was born in a small coal-mining town in Ohio and was raised by the radio before moving to Brooklyn, NY and changing her name to Kate Mattison. The electricity of the city combined with her love of the heartland's soul music soon inspired Kate to start her band 79.5.
Bronco Boo began life in a Washington, D.C. hospital and was promptly brought home to live on the wild prairies of the Northern Virginia suburbs. He changed his name to Mark Everett and then again to the letter “E” and formed the band EELS before deciding to go back to Bronco in 2025.
While listening to radio station KCRW late one night in his adoptive town of Los Angeles, Bronco heard a song by 79.5 that he liked very much. When he was soon asked to make a playlist for Radio L'envie he put the song on it. This led to a verbal dialogue between the two artists that turned into a musical dialogue of ideas and songs sent back and forth between Brooklyn, NY and Los Feliz, CA.
Feeling like they were onto something special, and realizing they were born with the same last name, they felt it would be silly not to record these songs, so they did.
You are now holding a copy of the results of that musical dialogue. Or holding a device with a streaming platform that contains a playlist with the results of that musical dialogue. Or perhaps you are planning to borrow a copy down at the local library.
