American band

Claude says:Hoobastank formed in 1994 in Agoura Hills, California, after vocalist Doug Robb and guitarist Dan Estrin met in a high school battle of the bands. They built a reputation playing LA clubs with Incubus and Linkin Park before Island Records signed them in 2000. You've played them eleven times since 2006, mostly scattered one-offs — "The Reason" stuck around longest, but nothing here ever really clicked.
