HOKUM, a progressive band from Joburg will be playing a tour in the Mother City this week, to promote their new album; The Money Eaters
Formed from the ashes of Marlowe, and with more than ten years experience, their sound ranges from sublime soundscapes (Brian Eno, Radiohead), the avant garde (Steve Reich, Philip Glass), to the solidity of rock (Deftones, Tool). And although these influences can be heard, their sound defies strict classification; they bring something new to rock music.

HOKUM released their debut album, The Money Eaters, in June 2015, which can be downloaded on iTunes They have also been gigging extensively, including festivals such as Krank’d Up, Slamfest, Oppikoppi, Splashy Fen and Metal Feast. HOKUM have been playlisted on TUKS FM, various other Varisty and online radio stations, and have been featured artists on Mix FM’s Sunday afternoon Hangout show. They have recently paired up with renowned sound engineer and producer, Jon Pentreath (BLK JKS, Cold Water Morning, Sun, The Muffinz), and are endorsed by SA Backline, the premier sound company in South Africa (providing sound and equipment for Big Concerts for artists such as Foo Fighters, Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey).
