Hocico is a Mexican dark electro band. The band was officially formed in Mexico City, Mexico in 1993 by Erk Aicrag (lyrics & vocals) and Racso Agroyam (programming), but both cousins had been making electronic music since they were fifteen years old. It's an intriguing mix of goth and electro/dance but something within the uniqueness of it or the energetic live show means it just works.
The subject matter is often dark, twisted yet the overall package of tracks is usually more electro than gloomy. The live show is very theatrical, with both members appearing dressed mainly in black and with detailed, gothic face makeup. The duo have a cult following throughout the US and many Spanish speaking countries across Europe, they recently performed a packed out show in Portugal where they showed off classics such as 'Poltergeist' and 'The Watched' to the crowds below who received the music fantastically.
The mixture of Spanish & English tracks adds variation to their shows, it's sure to go down a treat when the band perform at Germany's Dark Storm Festival later on this year promoting their latest release 'Los Dias Caminando En El Fuego' and fans will be hoping for a taste of some new material too.
