Biography
Boomclick are Sam Johnson, Rui Teimao and Paul Burnley, three musicians and DJs who have spent the best part of their lives immersed in the myriad musics spawned by acid house. Whilst dance music in all its forms has provided the soundtrack to thousands of unslept nights, this has been tempered by a passion for the traditional organic forms of dub, rock and folk. It is from this contrast between the DJ and the musician, the raver and the stoner, the synthetic and the human that Boomclick was born.
Sam, Rui and Paul met through the London underground party scene, in which all three were involved. As early as 1988, a fresh faced 15 year old Rui was putting on the Mayfair 88 parties with Sean Mclusky, and in the years since then the trio have been involved in the Lab parties, 3Halves, Black Sheep and Dharma Bums soundsystems. Boomclick has always existed in the real world - this is a band, not a collection of producers confined to the studio. Regular live shows in London have earned them a loyal and passionate following, and their performances at numerous Big Chill parties over the last few years spread the word even further, and earned them a spot on the Big Chill Loves You compilation. It was perfectly natural that Boomclick should forge a relationship with Rob Da Bank's Sunday Best imprint, the first fruit of which was 2002's 'Boomclick EP'. Instantly grabbing the attention of switched on press, DJs and punters alike, it was followed by the 'Homegrown' single in January 2003, after which Boomclick set about the task of creating their debut album. The creation of Halfway Between Tomorrow And Yesterday was a joyful process that involved our three Boomclick heroes, a bevvy of keyboards, computers, guitars, percussion, a very dark room in Brixton, a slightly lighter room in Old Street, a melodica, microphone abuse and many delays. It also involved a host of collaborators, chief of which was vocalist Rosa Fernandez whose sublime vocals blessed recent single 'Follow Love'. Rosa also features on the magical 'High Tide', album opener and forthcoming single, and the lovers anthem 'Simplicity'. With the album in the bag, Boomclick are itching to get back out on the road. The first place you can catch 'em live is at the rather stupendous three day Bestival event on the Isle Of Wight, kicking off on the 10th September. There are plans afoot for a national tour later this autumn - we'll keep you posted. For now, make yourselves comfortable and take a deep breath of this delectable debut album in the comfort of your own home. We can guarantee that Halfway Between Tomorrow And Yesterday is a damn fine place to be.
