Hooffoot is a large format instrumental rock band from Malmö, Sweden.

Santana loved Miles. Magma loved Coltrane. Soft Machine loved pop (OK, perhaps only for a while). Pink Floyd loved Soft Machine. Weather Report loved African grooves. The Italian progressive bands loved classical music. Return to Forever loved Brazilian stuff. Frank Zappa loved Black Sabbath, and Black Sabbath loved to smash people’s preconceptions. Hooffoot love them all. Forget about labels like “rock”, “jazz”, “progressive” and “kraut”. Who cares?

The band members of Hooffoot can also be found in the following present and past groups (number of releases in parenthesis:
Sibirien
The Carpet Knights (2)
Deathening (2)
Sgt Sunshine (2)
Agusa (1)
Bland Bladen (2)

Ever noticed that music inspired by the great years around 1970 rarely manage to capture the spirit of the 70’s? Sure, there are lots of bands with vintage clothes, vintage instruments and vintage (facial) hair styles. However, the spirit of the 70’s is usually missing. That spirit is what the Malmö band Hooffoot set out to capture with its debut album, now available from Paura Di Niente records. Although even a quick listen will reveal that there are plenty of odd time signatures, Hammond organ, fuzz bass and weird percussion in Hooffoot’s music, the objective was not to recreate the music of the sounds of the 70’s. Hooffoot is firmly of the opinion that the spirit of the 70’s can only be properly honored by embracing the attitude that there are no rules.

Only conform to non-conformity!
