Hoggez Orkester started in Uddevalla (Sweden) in March 2009 and has since then been a one man band in which Hogge himself plays all instruments (except the solo guitar) and sings. But now, in connection with the release of the debut album. The plan is to begin the search for band members this winter to be prepared to hit the roads during the summer 2011. Background: Hogge was in the 80's an active musician who started his first band 1976 at the age of 13. Then as a drummer, but later as a guitarist & singer. Several bands followed, but in 1986 it all ended when his former drummer, and very close friend, died in a car accident. Since then, Hogge has been engaged in everything else but music. The debut album is dedicated to Kari Säärelä (1966-1986). RIP So in March 2009 the desire for music came back and Hogge bought a truckload of different instruments and some simple studio equipment. After several months of experimenting and learning it started to finally come out something that could be called music, and now, a year later, it is time to release the debut album – For Your Pleasure. The album was presented in the radio show “Rocksoffan” (Radio Prime) in September 2010, where the veteran and legend Tommy Denander judged the song “YouTube” as a real rocker! A clip of this can be found in the News section, but it is in Swedish so far (will be translated). Well. The debut album was recorded in Hogge's very simple home studio in Uddevalla and published under his own label. The mix and mastering has been done by Lindberg Music in Uppsala. Producer is Fredrik "Freddy" Lindberg.
