Hoho's first EP, called "Wait Until the Story Ends," was released in the fall of 2007. Currently, all physical copies of the EP are sold out, but the songs can still be downloaded on iTunes.
In the process of creating The Click Clack Boom's new EP, "An artist and dear friend of ours, Ben Sperry, came along when we started writing the album. He sat with a typewriter and camera and documented the entire thing," says Hoho. The entire documented processes can be see on The Click Clack Boom's MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/clickclackboomband, underneath the "Wachakanda" picture album.
Hoho says that the band has been working on the album for approximately nine months, which he admits is "…well overdue, but it sounds great." The band started working on this album shortly after "Wait Until The Story Ends" was released. "A few of the songs happened on the road. One track in particular, "Howling," was written in a hotel room in Las Vegas, in the middle of [a] two-month tour. Another song, "Wild World," was written in Utah, [while] staring at the snow. These songs were then taken to Wachakanda, and finished."
The way that songs come about is a tough question for Hoho to answer. "Lyrics and melodies just kind of happen. People ask me this question a lot, and I really never know how to answer. I am living, [and] I try to reflect that."
As for playing at the 8X10 Club, they've never played there before, but they have played at the Ottobar about a year ago. "I've heard nothing but great things about the [8X10] club, and [the] people running it," Hoho says. "I'm also looking forward to playing in Baltimore again."
The Click Clack Boom likes to keep in contact with their fans, and they do so in different ways. "We have email sheets that we set out for people to sign, but I think [that] Facebook works best for keeping touch with fans - Facebook and phone numbers. I'm a big fan of Facebook events and unlimited texting."
As for the debate between using MySpace or Twitter to keep in contact with people, Hoho knows what he likes best. "Does Twitter offer free music streaming, photos, and video?" he asks. Guess that's one for MySpace.
