Ho-Ag is an experimental "noise rock" band based in Boston, Massachusetts. Known for melding the creaky musical worlds of 50s and 60s sci-fi films, Waitsian dissonant underworld, and fast-paced math-punk, Ho-Ag has adapted through several line-up changes, guest collaborations, experimental one-off shows, and infrequent Devo cover sets to evolve into a consistently unpredictable band that has earned them comparisons to acts like Six Finger Satellite, The Dismemberment Plan, Brainiac and The Melvins.
Ho-Ag was officially formed over the summer of 2001 after a few years of collaboration by founding members Matt "Captain Screw" Parish, Patrick Kim, Dave Dines and Jonathan Ruhe. The four had practiced together in Parish's basement apartment in Allston for a year until the building was destroyed by a fire in March 2001.
