Bio Creaky Boards is the name Andrew Hoepfner has given to all of his music since moving to New York City at the beginning of 2004. The band structure has shapeshifted, but the sound is always joyful.

Creaky Boards' sophmore LP, "Brooklyn is Love", a reverb drenched escapade of vocal harmony, drum booms, clicking castenets, and lavish arrangements, is almost as weird and enchanting as the city that gave birth to it. Released November 2008, it is their best work to date.

Creaky Boards toured America as a full band, lying on mattresses in the back of a rented cargo van that turned out to not have any seats. Andrew then toured Europe solo, playing creative sparse sets on his glockenspiel and laptop. In 2009, Creaky Boards revisited Europe as the full foursome. The Boards spend most of their time jamming good in New York City.

Where's the Sunshine, their first LP, was released in 2005. Over the years, there's also been a slew of other shimmering home recordings released upon ye olde internet.

hissstory Upon Songwriter/pianist Andrew Hoepfner's Greyhound arrival at Port Authority, Creaky Boards began as a whimsical folk-punk duo alongside lanky daydreaming trumpeter Jason Benjamin, in the cold winter of 2004. In an avalanche of theatrical subway performances and electric club shows, the bright eyed Midwestern boys were quickly embraced by the East Village antifolk scene due to their knack for melody, their endearingly honest delivery, and their eccentrically jerky body movements. By summer, Creaky Boards was opening up for the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players at the Knitting Factory, and Jeffrey Lewis at the 2004 Summer Antifolk Fest.

Migrating friends from Hoepfner's underage punk days in Michigan trickled east, causing the band's size to expand, and beloved vocal harmonies and walls of sound to take form.

Due to frontman Andrew Hoepfner's chronic hand pain, Creaky Boards almost vanished towards the end of 2005. Thanks to the friendship in the band and Hoepfner's gnawing appetite to create, Creaky Boards reemerged a year later, choosing to keep playing through the pain.
