The band was formed in early 1988 by Wan De Brabander and Joris Govers. Their 1st gig took place in December 88 when they found themselves playing in a garage band called "Sergeant Plancke's Only Farts Club Band". The name of the band was a snear at the school principal Plancke.
In February 89 they started their 1st real band called 'The Swamprats', and they were joined by double bass player Benny Jansen and some unknown singer. But it didn't last long with that singer, and when the other band members started to suspect his sexual inclination, they asked Ben Van Haegendoren to replace him in august 89. They changed their name to Boozy, and their big debut took place in March 1990 at the 3rd Wreckin' Festival in Belgium. They were pretty successful over here and played at almost every Belgian Psychobilly festival, but unfortunately didn't get the same response in other countries.
In July 1991 they recorded that demo and the song 'Scripts Of Buffoons' for Fury's Rumble Party LP. But during those recordings it also became clear that singer Ben didn't have the commitment to go any further, actually they finally realised he couldn't sing at all 18.gif . In November 92 Wan, Joris and Benny decided to become a trio. Later their singer (at least his attempt to sing) Ben become frontman of a Death Metal formation.
Later Wan and Joris started the fun rock'n'roll / rockabilly band "Los Fabulous Frankies". Nowadays they play in the country/rockabilly band "Moonshine Reunion". Benny, the double bass player, disappeared, never saw or heard anything from him again. And the original Boozy singer, Ben, is now doing family stuff with his kid and his wife.
