Hoboken are a Glasgow-based group who combine the drama of classic vocal

performers with inspired electronica to produce dark yet sizzlingly danceable

electro-noir songs about love, sex and death. Formed in 2001, Hoboken released

their first award winning single, Hotel Lisboa, in July 2003, and it received

rave reviews. The band’s second single, Vainglorious, followed. The album Crazy

Glue was released in September 2004. Hoboken have played shows across the UK and

Scandinavia, including headline gigs at Glasgow's King Tuts and The Arches, and

a 16 date UK support tour with electro legends The Human League. The band

released single, Beauty Queen in 2006 distributed through Universal. In summer

2007 Beauty Queen was included on the Sony/BMG DJ compilation album Bocca

NightsXL. Although we haven't made a conscious decision to stop making records, 

there is no planned release on the horizon. We have been busy with various

projects:



Jonathan has been busy making films and setting up the



Plainview Collective.



Scott has been recording more music and writing for film,

theatre and TV - 



myspace/scotttwynholm.



Neil continues to work as a freelance double bass player which

includes playing with the

Scottish Ballet Orchestra.

Michael is busy playing keyboards for

Sharleen Spiteri and

Texas.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the

years and if we write and record any more pop songs together we'll

let you know (and politely ask you to listen to them again!).

Enjoy the following clips. Love HOBOKEN
