One of the most extravagant experimental formations that Ukrainian alternative scene ever had. The project was launched in the beginning of 90's under the supervision of once legendary now half forgotten east Ukrainian cultural organization "Novaya Scena", which main achievement became CD compilation of Ukrainian alternative music on german label “What So Funny About” 13 years ago. Foa Hoka had their debut there, as a post industrial neo folk combo. The band started putting together early 90s industrial trends with sharp lo-fi grooves boldly combined with lush melody polyphonia and unexpectably emotional crooning. Past decade brought some specific changes to their conception. At this very moment, after Germany and Poland tours, a number of CD releases & bootlegs, numerous appearances on various modern art festivals, the band strongly holds its position as Ukraine’s most consistent and up-to-date underground project. Foa Hoka was formed in January 1991 in Chernihiv by Dmytro Kurovsky [vocals/synth/flute] and Vladyslav Dikhtyarenko [synth/guitars]. In 1994 they were joined by Ivan Moskalenko [bass], known as DJ Derbastler. In 2002 Foa Hoka becomes an open project for all artists who just feels the same. In the spirit of contemporaneity, the band's music evolves constantly. In 2005 DJ Dubmasta & violin player Natali Baras' began participating in live gigs and studio sessions. The artists are continually searching for new, hopefully surprising musical ideas, primarily in Foa Hoka's own Midi Free Studio. Since 1997 the band collaborates with experimental video producers Oleh Chorny and Hennadiy Khmaruk also known as the Sampled Pictures creative unit. In cooperation they created a number of music videos presented in Ukraine, Poland, Germany, France, Russia and the United States. Foa Hoka has performed in Germany, Austria, Poland, Russia and Ukraine, but the band engages primarily in studio work. Favorite sounds and instruments include flutes, violin, distortion effects, brass instruments, retro analogue synthesizers, sub bass, guitars, hypnotic samples and abstract dub vibrations. Foa Hoka's music is described as experimental rock combined with post-industrial, minimal techno, psychedelic ambient and new- and cold-wave elements. It is sometimes called "folk industrial" or "uneasy listening" in "quasi-lounge" atmosphere. The last albums "Worldwide Remixed vol.1 & 2" represent different remixes by various underground artists from Ukraine, Germany, Austria and Russia. Foa Hoka has greatly updated its studio and rare analogue equipment during last few years. It was resulted an internet free download release “Analogue Traffic” EP ( free download @ http://skprec.com/publ/2-1-0-2 ) and multimedia DVD release “Complete Artworks 1978-2008” featuring continuous slideshow of Dmytro Kurovsky artworks backing Foa Hoka “best of” mix called “Love Never Dies” ( 68min / 320kbps mp3 free download @ http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D8QEGMDE ) . Tracks Off:The History Vol. 2 (1993-2009) compilation of new and unreleased tracks with live videos and clips as CD/DVD on SKP records this year.

Yo |||FOA HOKA|||asaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
4. urodziny HUNGRY HUNGRY MODELS (histeria lubi się powtarzać) ft.:
DROP THE LIME (Trouble & Bass/NYC)
DRUMS OF DEATH (Greco-Roman/London)
SLAM DUNK & SPOX
Już od czterech lat Hungry Hungry Models wypełniają klubowe parkiety euforią, epifanią i ekstazą. Nie ważne gatunki i podziały – ważne, by wywołać radość i szczęście. Od czterech lat im się to udaje. Histeria lubi się powtarzać.
Z tej okazji szykuje się noc, jakiej Warszawa dawno nie widziała i nie słyszała. W Klubie 55 zawitają szelmowsko przystojny nowojorczyk Drop The Lime, mistrz świata ciężkich basów i lider jednego z najważniejszych elektronicznych labeli XXI wieku – Trouble & Bass, oraz mroczne voodoo z Londynu - Drums Of Death, dobry znajomy Hot Chip (w wytwórni których nagrywa), Peaches (dla której napisał jeden z utworów z jej ostatniej płyty i z którą koncertuje po całym świecie) i Hungry Hungry Models – w lutym dał na ich imprezie show tak szokujące, że grzechem byłoby tego nie przypomnieć w urodzinową noc, a w przededniu wydania jego debiutanckiej płyty.
Obaj łączą didżejskie sety z elementami live actu, obaj w trakcie występów śpiewają – Drop The Lime jak wkur*****y Sinatra, Drums Of Death jak zły brat bliźniak Ozzy’ego.
„Jak Oni Śpiewają” jeszcze nigdy nie było tak ekscytujące.
Obok zagranicznych gości, z jubilatami zagrają przyjaciele z boiska – wrocławscy didżeje nomadyczni z duetu Slam Dunk oraz czarodziej gramofonów i muzycznej produkcji Spox. Będzie gwiazdorsko, będzie długo i głośno, będzie niesamowicie i niegrzecznie. Lepiej nie mówcie mamom, gdzie idziecie 14 listopada.
