The Hoo Haas

Hoo Haa A Go Go

About Me

Listen Up!

It's THE HOO HAAS a hee whoring from the Deep South Marrickville Delta!

Get Riddum' with this crack-art Country Jazzabilly outfit driven by Philip Ricketson and his two-chord Telecaster.

Philip has entertained audiences, somewhat, his whole life as a lyrical jester and musical throwback, and has been known to bite the head off a carrot while on stage. Michael Ward belts his lame ass assortment of drums, rattles, crashes and buzz saw blades to propel the group along with the rhythm of an old tractor that wont say no. The swampy groove of Alistair Lowke's baaaaaaaadd arse bass gets all eleven toes tapping, while Penny McBride's fancy pants trumpet adds a unique jazz tone to the arrangements.

There's a growing list of legendary musicians who cue to sit in with the band, so get on down with The Hoo Haas sound and you'll see why they've been Number One in Newtown since 2001 (sorry to bump you off Timmy).
