Fragrantvagrants,musicallyspeaking. Whitasecond.Thedrivingforce behindvourrockbandisanoboe?
Portland-based Hoboe insists thev'reanew21stcenturyparadigm.With theirdebutsingle,"I'mYourMan"outnow andafull-lengthCDtofollowlaterthisyear, theydon'tjustdaretobedifferent,theyrock itout.
When band members Zen Ben and Tom Metzsitdowntochat,thediscussionisapt tounravelimmediately,digressingtoDuran Duran,SpinalTap,nonsequiturslostand found,andtheflashycharismaof"Zennifer," theirciossdressingsometime-bandmate.
Congrats on your new single! I was going to compliment you guysontheguitarshreddinguntilIrealizeditwasan oboe thatwastearingitup.That'swild.
Zex Bex: Thanks,althoughthere'sdefinitely guitarshreddingitup,too.You'dbetternot messwithTom!
Tom: 1thinkallplayersinourband,includ¬ ing drummer/trumpeter Jon Bangs and ournewbassistBenHolt,arequitetalent¬ ed.Don'tdiscountusasagimmick.IfBen playedwhatheplayedonoboeonguitar,it wouldbejustasgood.Onceyougetpastthe theinitialjarringimageofanoboeinarock band,yourealizethere'ssomereallycool musicherebesidestheoboe.
Tell us about the genesis of this rock-oboe sound... Zex Bex: When1wasaround12or13,my friendhadagaragerockbandthatplayedin hisbasement.Ilikedrock,butIplayedoboe-
itwasjusttheinstrumentthatIplayed.SoI broughtitdownoneday,pluggeditin,and covered the woman's moans on "Hungry LiketheWolf"byDuranDuran.Therestis history.I'vebeenaddictedtoamplifiedoboe eversince.
Often, wind instruments are used as window-dressing for rock music, afterthoughts. How does it feel to have turned the tables and have your instrument center stage?
Zex Bex: Itfeelsprettynatural,becauseI'm justbeingmyself.Itwasneverlike,"Iwant totrytobedifferent,soI'mgonnalearnobex? andplayrock."
Have you ever played oboe in more conventional settings?
Zex Bex: I'veplayedwithsymphonies,con¬ certbands,andjazzensembles,buttruthfuIly nothingticklesmyfancymorethanplaying intherockband-it'sjustsomuchfun.
Tom: 1alwaysthoughtIwasplayinginan experimentaljazzband.Weird.
Zex Bex: Well,wedidplayajazzcafein Philly.Thatwasanexperiment!
This whole thing with the rotating drummers seems very Spinal Tap. Did any of them explode "in a flash of green light"? Does your current drummer have any concerns about this phenomenon?
Zex Bex: Yeah,Hoboehashadaconstantly rotatinglineupforyears,butJonBangsisthe firstdrummertojoinasapermanentmem¬ ber.Thankfully,wehaven'tscaredhimoff yet.He'sbeenwithusforalmostayear.Like hisname,he'sexplosive.
How are crowds reacting to you ?
Zex Bex: (Hoboeis)abreathoffreshair, unlikeanythingthey'veeverseen.People seemvery'opentouseventhoughwe'renot your"traditional"rocklineup.
You were just touring in Jersey. Any chance you made a pil¬ grimage to Hoboe-ken?
Zex Bex: No.Notyet.We'llputitonourlist. WewanttogobacktoJersey,anyway.
Everyone talks about your live show, and how it's not to be missed. What could we expect from a typical Hoboe live experience?
Zex Bex: Expect?
