   About The Hoboz
The Hoboz are the sweetest ska band to ever come from of the mean streets of Avon NY. They play a mixture of ska, rock, and reggae that will have you tappin your toes and humming along to their catchy horn lines before you can say Jiminy Cricket. The bands 4 original members (Brian, Dan, Steve, and Colby) have been playing together for quite sometime. They mostly fooled around with covers until one day they decided to get a sweet horn section and devote their lives to the grand and mystical form of music known as ska. They believe ska to be the life force that keeps the universe in balance and without we would all cease to exist. The Hoboz work on new material on a fairly regular basis, so keep your eyes and ears open for new songs and show dates. Until next time, thanks for stopping in and supporting the Hoboz.

It was a great show on Sat. Nite. A new chapter in the Journey cover band saga was completed. I hope that Blair is able to speak again in a few days.

The HOBOZ ROCK & SKA with the best!

Thanks for the add, Hoboz. You guys are seriously a lot of fun (no, we're not just saying that because of the unwritten band law where all bands kiss all other bands asses)..... we took a listen to all your tunes, so much energy! Make the other 3 downloadable so I can throw them on the iPod.

Anyway, if you guys ever want to play a show together, it has serious potential. We target late teens - early 20s, and it sounds like you target around the same aged people. Take a listen to our tunes and let us know if you're down for setting some stuff up, hell, we're only 15 minutes down the road.
