about
Four Day Hombre was a five-piece rock band from Leeds, UK. In 2008 the band changed their name to Hope and Social. Formed in 1998, Four Day Hombre's first gig took place on 24th July 1999. Over the next year they played over a hundred gigs and launched their first EP. A live CD followed several months later. Both sold out and had to be re-pressed due to demand. Their last material was entirely self recorded and mixed. Since September 2002, the results have been played on XFM and Radio1 and resulted in nearly 5000 internet downloads. Within two years of forming they had supported, or been supported by acts such as JJ72, The Coral, The Frames, Oceansize, The Supernaturals, Chris Helme, Halo, Budapest, Fi-Lo Radio, The Freestylers, Snow Patrol, Fonda 500, X is greater than Y, The Music, Gay Dad, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Seafood, Lorna, The Broken Family Band, The Hiss, Miss Black America, The Sights, Mew, Martin Grech and more...
