Explosive duo Ho99o9 have unleashed a new track to kickstart their 2024 as they look towards live dates and an incoming third LP. ‘A Machine Of’ is a pummelling expression of what it means to exist in this world. theOGM and Yeti Bones explain: “My momma always said we would have to wear many hats in life & not half ass it. I use to take that shit for granted. Some of us chasing the bag, some of us chasing the fame, some niggas just wanna be seen, just remember the machines are here.” The accompanying video clip follows the band on tour, capturing a series of visceral live experiences, alongside behind the scenes ruminations.
Ho99o9 were recently seen laying waste to venues across Europe with Carpenter Brut & Perturbator. And they continue their live assault in 2024 with a headline show at the Teregram Ballroom in their adopted home of Los Angeles on 2nd March, as well as multiple plotted appearances at SXSW, an event which they’ve repeatedly dominated. They’ll also be appearing at festivals worldwide including Jera On Air in the Netherlands, Rockstadt Extreme in Romania plus more to be announced. All dates here.
The duo recently dropped their mixtape ‘Ho99o9 Presents Territory: Turf Talk, Vol II’, which followed second album ‘SKIN’. ‘Turf Talk, Vol II’ included humungous features from JPEGMAFIA, Armand Hammer, HEALTH, ZelooperZ, RiTchie, WARGASM (UK), Eyedress and many more, shining a light on the vast creative diversity of Ho99o9’s musical universe.
A live force to be reckoned with, Ho99o9 have performed at numerous festivals worldwide including Glastonbury, The Great Escape, Download and Reading & Leeds in the UK, Pukkelpop in Belgium, Primavera in Spain, Hellfest in France and Aftershock and The Gathering of The Juggalos in the US. Their touring resumé includes the Knotfest Roadshow with Slipknot in North America and support slots with the likes of The Prodigy, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Korn. Ho99o9’s subversive, no-holds-barred take on punk and hardcore collides with a universe of rap and hip hop, along with a plethora of influences across musical, physical and metaphysical worlds to result in what can only be described as Ho99o9.
