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.”
The List
“The
best ever lounge singer crooning over pulsing electro."
Timo Out
"Vainglorious
sounds like Scott Walker turning up unannounced at a Pet Shop Boys
Gig."
Morning Star
"Like the young Frank Sinatra
transplanted to 1990s Berlin...delicious "
