About me:
Fearless and original music-makers Hobo Obituaries have plenty to offer the world. With imagination, creativity and energy to burn the Australian-based brother duo, Andy & Jhonny Hobo are on a mission to bring the universe something unique using their powers of unrefined creation as they explore the outer orbits of the electro-rock realms.
A refusal to consciously re-create anything they’ve heard before—sitting at the opposite end of the spectrum from most on today’s musical landscape that find merit rehashing safe colour-by-number formulas of those that have come before, sacrificing artistic integrity for the dollar and popularity—make Hobo’s a real find. Self-proclaimed ‘visual artists that make music’ their super-fun digital low-brow sounds are both raw and entertaining smacking of substance and a perverse style all their own.
The Hobo fierce D.I.Y ethos has seen the release of a large body of work over their seven-year existence via self-created and self-run label Hobo Parade Records: various singles, six long-players, two EPs and two tribute albums (to The Ramones & The Who).  Hobo’s also design and screen-print their own line of limited edition clothing and merchandise.
The Toowoomba-born Gold Coast-residents are musical satirists. Hobo’s are living, breathing pop art. Breaking musical rules and casting off passé and limiting thinking with a punk rock smugness, the two-man song writing team are irreverent and unapologetic concerning matters of the [he]art.  Presently inspired by space and the cosmos, listening to Hobo’s is an adventure for the explorer in us all.
Guitar/vocals and synth mashed with programmed beats and samples taken from random television programming make for laugh-out-loud pandemonium inducing sets. Synth-exercise bicycles, chicken men laying eggs, four-legged friends, mid-song haircuts—Hobo shows are jam packed with layers of goodness.
As freelance artists for hire—their lives dedicated to the arts and music—Andy a tattoo artist by day and Jhonny an illustrator / graphic artist, producer and mash-up DJ maven, his fingers in many musical pies: Super Awesome Villains Forever, Smitten Kitten, Ultra Ego, Sunshine Twins, Dude Eggs (also featuring Andy) and Stalking Butlers —Hobo Obituaries are without doubt a band marked for cult-status. The siblings’ current projects include a live DJ set, song remixes for international and Australian acts and sneaker art for an upcoming exhibition—a Hobo’s life is never dull. Act like you know and become part of the experience: www.hoboobituaries.com.
