Biography
Peter Hobbs and Jof Owen met when they were still at school and grew up together in the English countryside in the small village of Wendover. They spent their teenage years scouring car boot sales for rare Dexys singles and Lee Hazelwood albums. Reading Carson McCullers, Anne Sexton and Smash Hits. Watching John Hughes films and old videos of Top of the Pops. All the time putting together a collection of weird and wonderful instruments found in second hand shops, craft fairs and the Early Learning Centre. They released The Best Party Ever in 2005 to widespread critical acclaim. They were one of the last wave of mid-noughties indiepop bands who could play the Pitchfork stage at SXSW and live on KEXP at the same time as enjoying mainstream success back home with appearances on Popworld, GMTV and the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party. These are dark times for a world caught up in political turbulence and worldwide economic uncertainty; it feels like we’ve never needed The Boy Least Likely To and their brand of wide-eyed indie pop more. After all, no other band manages to sound quite so joyful and quite so afraid of modern life all at the same time. "The Boy Least Likely To's child's eye perspective on English anorak pop, sunny west coast harmonies, Belle and Sebastiany folk, country, and soul, is now certifiably theirs, just theirs." – Pitchfork "If all your childhood stuffed animals got together and started a band, it might sound like the boy least likely to." - Rolling Stone
