BIOGRAPHY

Neil Cameron - Bass

Jonathan Carr - Lead vocals

Scott Twynholm - Keyboards

 

Hoboken are a three-piece Glasgow-based group who combine inspired electronica influenced by the likes of Sparks, Georgio Morodor and Depeche Mode with the drama and romance of Scott Walker and Jacque Brel, to produce  dark yet uplifting songs about love, sex and death. Formed in 2001, Hoboken released their first single, Hotel Lisboa, in July 2003, and followed it up with their second single, Vainglorious, in November of the same year. Both received rave reviews.

 

They released their debut album Crazy Glue in September 04 and since then have been playing round the country in support of it. Their development as a great live act resulted in a 16 date UK tour with electro legends The Human League in December 2005. A follow up single, Beauty Queen, was released in 2006. The band are currently writing new material and developing the live show.

 

Selected Press:

 

“Hotel Lisboa is an enticing blend of cabaret, bossa beats and electro-noir dreaminess.”

Sunday Mail

“A ritzy Goldfrapp with Tony Bennett singing. Quite spectacular.”
