History
Hobosexual began with members Ben Harwood and Matt Ehlers in early 2009. Ben Harwood founded the band Vindaloo and joined IceAge Cobra before forming Hobosexual, named to provide an expectation of the band's appearance. After Matt Ehlers left the band in May 2010, Jeff Silva, who also hailed from Vindaloo as well as bands The Beautiful Mothers & The Second Academy, joined on drums.
After the release of their self-titled first album, Hobosexual played several local venues and quickly produced their follow-up album, Hobosexual II.

Music from Hobosexual II was featured during two of the Seattle Seahawks' nationally televised games in the 2013 Super Bowl season.
