[citation needed] The Hobos gained a wide following with their singles "Christian (I’m Gonna Be)", "Walk All Night", "Flying Away" and "Don’t Forget".
Having traveled and sung on the streets all around the world from New York City to Hong Kong, Rolands came back to Latvia in 1999 and decided to form a group of his own.
Together they jammed for a while and finally decided to form a band citing their only goal as "making good music".
[1] This opened the doors to the recording studio and by the end of 1999 The Hobos were ready to release their debut album Numbvision, which in turn produced their first hit single "Christian (I'm Gonna Be)".
The album featured one CD of original material and a second disk that was compiled from many different cover versions, including J. J. Cale's "Cocaine", Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" and Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia".
In the January 17, 2016 the band vocalist Rolands Ūdris was hit by a driver in the Riga, capital city of Latvia and for 5 weeks he stayed in coma.
