Four artists share the name "Kokomo": a post-rock band, a disbanded soul band and a surf/punk band and Jimmy Wisner an American pianist, arranger, songwriter, and producer, best known for his hit single "Asia Minor", released under the name Kokomo. #1 Kokomo is a post rock band from Duisburg, Germany founded in mid-2008.
