Hugo Largo was an American musical group known for their unique line-up: two bass guitars, a violin and singer/performance artist Mimi Goese. 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.

  • Hugo Largo was an American musical group known for their unique line-up: two bass guitars, a violin and singer/performance artist Mimi Goese. 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.
  • Gli Hugo Largo sono stati un gruppo americano attivo negli anni '80, noto soprattutto per un line-up estremamente originale, composto di due bassi, un violino (e molto occasionalmente una chitarra) e il canto di Mimi Goese. La band si forma nel 1984, inizialmente come duo (Tim Sommer e la Goese). Successivamente, ad essa si uniscono il violinista Hahn Rowe e il bassista Adam Peacock. Il quartetto così composto pubblica l'EP Drum (prodotto da Michael Stipe, il quale canta anche in due tracce). Con l'aggiunta di altro materiale Drum viene poi ripubblicato come album dalla casa discografica di Brian Eno, la Opal. Il loro secondo album, Mettle, esce pure per la Opal e, successivamente, per la All Saints Records. La vita del gruppo dura poco. Sommer diventa un dirigente della Atlantic Records, mentre la Goese e Rowe proseguono con fruttifere carriere soliste.
