Hobofopo is a 3day gig-crawl of folk-punk around nipaluna/hobart. We’ve been doing this for 8 years, and it’s great to catch up with all of our folk-punk loving friends each year. Like a pilgrimage of sorts. We have also hosted amazing bands, like; Days N Daze, AJJ, Crywank, Ceschi, Crooked Fiddle Band, SC Trash, Darren Hanlon, The Go Set, Flangipanis, Ramshackle Army, Handsome Young Strangers, Paddy McHugh, Departure Party, Claire Anne Taylor, Ben Salter, Runebilly Rattle, The Berkeley Hunts, Medusas Wake, Soursob Bob, and regular acts include This Is A Robbery, The Dead Maggies, Hairyman, Ragged Hollow, The Stragglers, The Dead Peasants, Ess-Em, Whiskey Dram, Jude Joseph, BrodyGreg. We love anything sitting between folk and punk, this could be; rogue folk, celtic punk, boozy bluegrass, folk rock, anti-folk, cowpunk, etc.
