Comments and Reviews

whitewhale1965 7th Sep 2020		"The Molestics are loathe to describe what they play as jazz, preferring instead the term "hokum." Traditionally, it meant a theatrical plot designed to appeal to the uncritical, you know, something "hokey;" but, in jazz parlance, it means "bunk" or "bullshit." That's why the band has titled its recent CD Tropic of Hokum -- to remind themselves and their listeners not to take anything too seriously, especially music. The term has seen the band riffing on a variety of possible titles in what they hope will be a series: Hokum Pokum, Smokin' Hokum, Hokum If Ya Got 'Em, Home Sweet Hokum, Mo' Better Hokum and, the band's favourite of the moment, If You Can't Beat 'Em, Hokum. May the Hokum be with them... always." ~Interview by Peter Grainger (Mar 1997)
