Artist History Mobia's Trip began to form in September 1994 when bassist Joshua Edelstein met guitarist Evan Field, both of whom were working on other projects. They wound up abandoning those projects and along with drummer Yoni Sandler created Bombshelter Trio in April of 1995. In September of 1995 Sandler left Bombshelter Trio. Soon afterwards, Edelstein was approached by Paul Hoffman at a party thrown by mutual friends. Hoffman (who hadn't played in nearly a decade) casually asked if he knew of any band that needed a drummer. Little did he know where his idle conversation would lead him. Hoffman auditioned in early November, and Mobia's Trip was born.

Press Reviews ". . . their set really wowed me with its diversity . . . MOBIA'S TRIP is a tight ensemble of very skillful musicians who obviously put a lot of care into their songwriting. "--MTV Online ***** "Evan Field's guitar work is interesting without being 'artsy', Joshua Edelstein's bass playing is solid and steady (the best kind of compliment), and drummer Paul Hoffman pounds it out with efficiency and style. In all, an effective and listenable combination."--DC Music WWWeb ***** " . . . the most remarkable thing about Trip is that so early in its development, it actually has a distinctive sound . . . that sound is characterized with driving, complex basslines from Joshua Edelstein and watery-smooth guitar by Field. Frequently, the listener can clearly distinguish the creative influence in a given song; the threesome's artful ability to accomodate each others' talents gives them the diversity of sound that is the band's greatest asset."--The Georgetown Voice
