Poxy Boggards Wiki Information
The Poxy Boggards
are a Pasadena-based folk band, founded in 1994 at the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire. Since this time, they have achieved success in the re-burgeoning of the Irish-folk movement, playing with bands such as The Fenians. Currently with 14 members, all of them singers and most of them instrumentalists, the Poxy Boggards have a richly layered sound. The Poxy Boggards group were founded by good friends Stuart Venable and Bill Roper. Roper was formerly the CEO of Flagship Studios, makers of Hellgate: London and Mythos. During his tenure at the gaming company Blizzard, the music of the Poxy Boggards was featured in the game Warcraft_II: Tides of Darkness.
The Boggards have played venues throughout southern California, including the Galaxy Theatre to a near-sellout crowd on St. Patrick's Day 2006 and 2007, and the House of Blues in Anaheim. They were lauded as a major new voice in folk at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, where they placed third in the Celtic Song category for their title track "Lager Than Life," and third in the Novelty Song category for "The Rooster, The Donkey, etc." At the 2006 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, they received Best Celtic Album for Liver Let Die
and Live Act of the Year for their 2004 performance at the awards show.

Hidden tracks
Early in their career, the hidden track from their first CD was played on the Dr. Demento show. "Inbred Local" was a thematic departure from their Renaissance-inspired music, and set a trend for including a hidden track at the end of every CD (currently 5 CDs under the Angry Folk label). This trend was broken on "Anchor Management". On their fourth album, "Liver, Let Die," guest artists are listed as "Proxy Boggards."
