About Me

Kochis is a "Geek Rock" band. Formed in a galaxy far far away when Princess Leia was coming back from buying space groceries. The band likes to turn up their distortion pedals, rock out, and sing catchy songs about girls with glasses, video games, Star Wars, DragonCon, Science fiction, comic books, and other nerdy stuff. Kochis could be grouped with the likes of Weezer, early Green Day, Ozma, etc. They don't have a problem setting themselves apart though. Mixing a pinch more punk in the mix than the above mentioned bands, they have a unique and fun take on pop punk and geek rock.
