HOG MEETS FROG

imagine PRIMUS, RHCP, TOOL, and S.O.A.D. having a baby together...i swear it would be called 'HOG MEETS FROG'.

HOG MEETS FROG is not just simply a power trio - it is a very special power trio!!

WHY? ... well, get an idea, here....
... a link to stream to the new EP "humANIMALization": hogmeetsfrog.bandcamp.com
...a link to our video for "of snakes 'n' moles 'n' bulls 'n' dough" - a tune from the EP: youtu.be/-ijNMjMDk6M

the EP "humANIMALization" we released in february and we worked together with a canadian promoter. the feedback on the EP was quite good internationally.
now we are looking for a booker or an agency to bring it to the ground.

here are some press quotes:
"anarchically free to give voice and life to kaleidoscopic images in a colorful palette of notes that (...) Mehr anzeigen chase each other in a frenetic and bombastic manner."
(RockHard)

“Does humor belong in music?’ was once a question that the late/great Frank Zappa asked – and Austrian funk-prog metallists apparently agree wholeheartedly, as evidenced within the video for their new tune, “Peeping-Bear’s Exegesis of Not Peeping,” which can be viewed below.”
(Greg Prato / Bravewords)
 
"There’s an element of uniqueness to how each of these songs are written, although you can’t deny the clear influence of say the Primus bass lines or Zappa-esc experimentation, yet it is within the niche, thematic storytelling that gives Hog Meets Frog a real musical identity."
(Joe McKenna / Metal Epidemic.com)

"It has that same fun funky bounce that Les Claypool and Co. are so good at. This goes in to other distorted territories like RHCP and the superb guitar solos lean more in a heavy metal direction. Throw in some off kilter and unpredictable Mr Bungle (RHCP Vs Mr Bungle you say?) and you've got a piece of work that has brightened up my day tenfold."
(Spark Bean)

"With influences ranging all over the musical spectrum from progressive and death metal to jazz, to world music and funk, there is something for everyone in the riffs and chords that the Austrian group writes."

(THIS DAY IN METAL)

"Crossing genre borders and providing a challenging listen, the music bounces from cheerful, funky sounds to the broad, massive, nu-metal sound to fuzzy bass and distorted-guitar sound with a sip of kick-ass drums."

finally: HOG MEETS FROG's zippy performance has already been called 'music theater' or 'rock cabaret', which shows that we are versatile.

as a little appatizer, here's the montage of a small festival performance - it's from 2017 - with the help of which you can get an idea of what we do on stage :-) (what's missing are the stories that are told between the songs and give the performance the cabaret touch): youtu.be/z2m0uidIxqc Weniger anzeigen
