Influences: NEW horror film by VJiCANDY: "the DrAiN MAidEnS" featuring the HOBBY WHORES. 10minutes.TRUE GLORY NEVER DIES - FISTMAS JELLY WRESTLING FOOTAGE 2007http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXoM2xtgfVgNEW HOBBY WHORES VIDEO BY VJiCANDY :::: MELBIN TOWNE18mb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fUn8UW8iMEInfluences include digital hardcore/breakcore, horror flicks, hitch-hiking around, being street nancys, finding drugs on the floor at rave parties, stuff like that.What else? Kool Keith, those irritating geezer-types who freestyle at 150bpm (ie Skibbadee), Lady Sovereign (before she sold out) and Dizzee Rascal (but not his crap tracks, which are many).We are also under the influence of government mind control drugs, fluridic acid for example.The Hobby Whores draw their name from the dada art movement in Paris/Zurich circa 1915. If you didn't know already, a. go back to school and b. the dadaists were uber avant-garde: they basically set the standard for being counter to = ahead of fashion and no-one has really been more avant-garde since. They also made some really annoying music, art and poetry. Dada is another word for Hobby Horse in French and in German translates as an unhealthy obsession with procreation. That's where the name comes from. Also, the only person crazy enough to put on the Ho's (as they are also commonly known) was an art-wanker and he required them to sound arty.The Hobbies (as they are also commonly known) have since played upwards of six gigs, at squats, open mike nights and backyards. Notorious shows include the Fistmas special at Open Studio Northcote, and the St Peters party where Oskr was almost strangled to death by the sound tech. The Hobby Whores have therefore rightly earned their place as the retarded future sound of an unpleasant new world where any tom, dick or harry can get on stage and be horrible.
Sounds Like: The Hobby Whores are a new form of music, merging electronic, punk and hip hop to form something truly lo-fidelity - at times even monophonic. If you are the average layman you probably can not fathom how they came up with the sound they have. It is probably easier to shudder and contort in pain.
Record Label: who needs one?
