Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi

Taking their name from an extinct Hawaiian bird, the London-based Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi got together in 1996 under the influences of the Flaming Lips, Beck, Sonic Youth, and Pavement. Consisting of former Fletch F Fletch Shepherd drummer Richard Arnold, former Quarter Foil bassist Mike Carter, and guitarist/vocalist Martin Bimrose, the three-piece accompanies a sound of electronic xylophones and Casio keyboards to their noisy pop trademark. Sofa Records eventually released Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi's debut EP, Two Tier Water Skier, in 1999.
