Hoquets

Influenced by the Congotronics groups and their instruments made out of recuperated materials, the members of Hoquets use a similar attitude: this Belgian/American/French trio mostly play with instruments that they invent and construct out of wooden boards, broken strings, tin cans, etc. Their music is overflowing with energy and like no other, inspired by indie pop, hip hop, punk, funk and the weirdness of their homeland. The Hoquets feature Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Naoki Otani (Maher Shalal Hash Baz), Yann Tambour (Stranded Horse), Marc Melià Sobrevias & Tanja Frinta (Lonely Drifter Karen), In 2011 Hoquets present their debuts album BELGOTRONICS, introducing the Belgian (political) culture to the world.
