Portland, OR's Hockey is bringing their scruffy dance jams to the masses come this summer with Mind Chaos, their debut album on Capitol Records. The four-piece self released Mind Chaos in 2008 to heralding underground praise, both stateside and in the UK. Hockey blends gritty garage rock with infectious new wave beats and singer Benjamin Grubin's witty lyrics gives all party goers something to sing along with.
Off the heels of SXSW, Hockey will play a slew of dates that includes three Southern CA shows as well as a UK jaunt with with Friendly Fires and some headlining shows both in the US and UK. Hockey will perform at both the Bonnaroo and Sasquatch festivals.
You can hear "Too Fake" in Episode 202 of the new season of "Free Radio" on VH1. Hockey is also a featured artist on the "Free Radio" page on VH1.com HERE.
