Portland, Oregon’s Hosannas have managed to amass a sizable following along the West Coast over the last 3 years with their intense tour ethic and consistent presence in the Portland house show scene. Brothers Brandon and Richard laws grew up listening to Kraftwerk and The Beach Boys. These disparate influences are at the core of the duo’s haunting vocal harmonies, rich verbal imagery and unpredictable guitar. Add to this combination Christof Hendrickson’s Rhodes, Moog and Omnikorg and Lane Barrington’s tasteful, dynamic percussion and the result is simply Hosannas. The band’s influences are as diverse as their instrumentation and they are as comfortable mixing Bollywood samples with tin-foil piano as they are in hushed a capella harmonies or full tilt power shred mode.
