the howling night wind, things which go bump in the night, spooky sounds, intoxicating potions, screams of terror & pangs of dark delight. That harmless-looking pile of blankets and toys in your closet that, when the lights go out, comes to gitcha. Also, whiskey.
Neye Benziyor?
a bunch of drunken subhumans raising a hellafied ruckus with old timey instruments.
From deep within the confines of the city sewers, and the darkness beneath your bed, Thee Hobo Gobbellins slash and jangle their path into your skull. They weave a wickedly catchy mixture of ancient pirate curses, orcish vaudeville, and eldritch hobo semaphore. I remember well the day it all began; it was back in the summer of ‘03, on the fetid prairie of Gorgoroth, that their ebon-striped demonic boxcar was hitched to the devil’s train. And wherever they stop, strange things tend to happen: Clowns that bite! Dead things! Cultist goblins! Flying stuff!
The Hobo Gobbelins emerge from the pulsing art vortex of Oakland, Ca., the green-skinned child of punk rock, avant-garde performance art and hobo soul. Drawing on a dizzying array of influences, the band incorporates traditional sounds of Americana and the Old World with the horrors of modernity. Monsters from folklore and fiction wriggle alongside freight-train spirituals and drinking songs. The result is a disturbing haunted house for the ear, a nightmare carnival that is at turns goofy and murderous. Human audiences drink more, dance better, and writhe uncontrollably to goblin beatings- er, beats. Incidentally, audience is the goblin word for “food that screams”.
The Hobo Gobbelins are but one tendril of the meta-myconoid entity that lives in the shadows and margins just out of your range of vision. We raise our axes in salute to our allies near and far, and to the many wandering monsters who have swelled our ranks in the past. Psiliobahn Gobblegblix, our accordion-shaman comrade and founder, now leads the freak revolution in THAT DAMNED BAND and 999 EYES OF DREAM Carnival Sideshow of the Damned, in Austin, far from the human-fouled waters of the West. The Party King of Darkness dwells far to the north with the horrors of Thee World Below.
These dark genii and others in our extended mutant family nourish and inspire us. When you support them you support us.
We can play anywhere, on a rooftop or a desert, with or without a P.A. We’re all very nice, but will possibly make you uncomfortable. Book us for winery tours, carnivals, protests, eviction parties, game conventions, or any place with a large enough dimensional rift for us to pop through.
For Fans: To become part of the ever-growing horde of "little gobbelins" , sign up on our mailing list to get updates about the latest shows and developments with the band. Go to: littlegobbelins and sign up, easy as pie. Now you'll never be alone in the dark again! Isn't that comforting?
We also have presences at Tribe, and Facebook, where we have lively conversations and plot with our friends, fiends, and fans.

I just thought you should know that i was jigging in my kitchen yesterday on my birthday to your music. This jig was being shared by my friend who is 6'8", and as we capered about the kitchen, he smashed a lightbulb with his head on a hanging lamp, nearly caught the light bulb & it smashed to the floor.
I was incredibly entertained & it was a highlight of my birthday & a premonition of the mayhem to be had!
On Oct 3, a fantastic gathering occurred within a cafe-sized room canopied by trees. The Gypsy Camp is a long-visited place within El Escorpion Park in West Hills - long overdue to be utilized as a unique venue for live music.
It was the beginning of a new series of acoustic shows that bring bands out of bars and clubs, friends and musical enthusiasts out of the house on a saturday afternoon, and a unique and magical experience to everyone involved.
If this looks like a good time to you, please tell people about it, and join us for Gypsy Camp The Second on Saturday, Nov. 14. Prepare yourself with a cooler and blanket and an afternoon to enjoy some great music.
