The Hoboz

ska is better than you

About Me

The Hoboz are the sweetest ska band to ever come from of the mean streets of Avon NY. They play a mixture of ska, rock, and reggae that will have you tappin your toes and humming along to their catchy horn lines before you can say Jiminy Cricket. The bands 4 original members (Brian, Dan, Steve, and Colby) have been playing together for quite sometime. They mostly fooled around with covers until one day they decided to get a sweet horn section and devote their lives to the grand and mystical form of music known as ska. They believe ska to be the life force that keeps the universe in balance and without we would all cease to exist. The Hoboz work on new material on a fairly regular basis, so keep your eyes and ears open for new songs and show dates. Until next time, thanks for stopping in and supporting the Hoboz.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
