Planet Leo
Go Kart Holiday

Unapologetically upbeat, chock full of effortless hooks and memorable choruses about cars and girls. Leo calls this "heavy, heavy pop." Pretty Girls Are Always Late, I'll Be Your John, You Be My Yoko, Zoom Zoom Varoom, and Hit the Button it's a Saxophone will take you to Planet Leo. It's fresh, it's different...you'll be glad you came!

"Energetic and effervescent...Leo displays a flexibility that would be scary if not for his diffident, aw-shucks manner."
-Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post Gazette

SPUDS
Aw Mom

Ziolkowski, Lewandowski, Zyglowicz. You won't find someone named Slash in THE SPUDS! Slightly over-weight and balding, appearing on stage in boxer shorts and pajamas, THE SPUDS look more like a bowling team than a rock band. Cuts like their tribute to Tarzan, Jane No Die, their tribute to bars everywhere, Dancing Pretzels, and, of course, I've Got A No-Cut Contract (With Jesus), capture the power and enthusiasm that makes their stage show so wildly popular. And they love their Moms!
(Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Bogus and we'll send you an official SPUDS lyrics sheet for this one!)

Philip Harris 
Thick

A touch of jazz, a hint of folk, and a semi-tractor-trailer full of insight into love, life, and alienation. Harris details interpersonal relationships by filling his songs with fragile characters searching for ways to cope with life and each other. It's serious stuff, in other words. Lots of tights drums, funky bass, and jazzy sax lead to strong songs with strong stories.

The album that started it all!

A variety of rock, country and early new wave acts on the record that helped establish Bogus.

#LP1-0225801

 Various Artists
Made in Pittsburgh, Vol. 2

A great sampling of Pittsburgh rock acts, released the same day as Vol. 3. Trouser Press said, "A wild melange of boogie, blues & rock 'n roll, this album proves a town doesn't have to be cool to be musical." We still can't figure out if that was a compliment.

#LP2-1111801

 Various Artists
Made in Pittsburgh, Vol. 3

Perhaps the only document of the thriving early-1980s Pittsburgh New Wave scene. A musical turning point when the cover bands of the `70s were giving way to new, all-original bands.

"The overall professionalism and ability of these new wave-oriented bands is impressive"
-Billboard

Planet Leo
Hey Linda/Zoom Zoom Varoom

Linda asked Leo to write a song about her. She didn't realize he'd bare his soul. She's embarrassed. Leo's wife is mad. It's so cute you'll find yourself singing in the shower.
Zoom is the true story of a girl Leo used to date. She was truly beautiful ... and truly wacko. The only song we know that contains the word "gonesville."

Hey Marianne (Don't Trust the Dog)/

-In Pittsburgh

"They make me hungry for pizza"
-Bogus Records President,
Carl M. Grefenstette
