BOOGERS

The Boogers (2014-present) are an all-art, no-music, book-arts-themed band based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Comprised of Chicken Slacks, Fartalie Pooland, and the Dumper, they met and banded together during a two-year stretch in the Arion Press bookbindery. A ban on music in the workplace (except when the boss was on vacation) gave them plenty of time to invent song titles and deep lore. In May 2024 they spent a week at the In Cahoots residency, where much of the work from their June 21, 2025 event at SFCB was created. Their first single, Doctor Donut, was issued in memory of Leif Erlandsson, their Swedish bookbinding master and dear friend.

When asked how they describe their genre, they said, “considering our name, it’s odd that we’re basically one giant poop joke.”

Inspired by the late Leif Erlandsson, master bookbinder and maker of Swedish potatoes, here is the first 7inch from Boogers. The 6 panel wood cut and letter press fold out sleeve was printed at the In Cahoots artist residency in May 2024.
