Hugo Largo was an American musical group known for their unique line-up: two bass guitars, a violin and singer/performance artist Mimi Goese.[1][2]
The band formed in 1984, initially featuring Tim Sommer (also an MTV veejay) and Goese. Later they were joined by Hahn Rowe and Adam Peacock, releasing their Michael Stipe produced EP, Drum in 1988 (Stipe also sang backing vocals on two tracks). This was later reissued as an album with additional material on Brian Eno's label, Opal Records. Their second album, Mettle, was released in 1989, first on Opal, then on All Saints Records.
Soon after the band disbanded, with Sommer joining Atlantic Records as a music executive and Goese pursuing a solo career.
