Hokus Pick was a Christian rock band active from 1989 to 1999, originating from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The group consisted of members Russ Smith, Matt Pierrot, Dave Strilchuk, and Rick Colhoun. They were known for their quirky sense of humor, using satire and sarcasm in their music to convey deeper messages. Hokus Pick toured extensively in Canada and the U.S., and were part of notable tours such as Steve Taylor's *Squinternational* tour in 1994. They released albums like "Brothers from Different Mothers" and were recognized for their unique style, even receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian Gospel Music Association in 2007.
Hokus Pick's sound blended pop and rock elements, and they cited influences from various musical genres. Their music often featured humorous and satirical elements, as seen in songs like "I'm So Happy," which ironically received significant airplay on Christian radio despite being a critique of simplistic lyrics often found in the genre. Despite disbanding in 1999, the group remained active in the music ministry and industry. While there are rumors of occasional reunions, there is no confirmed recent activity related to the releases mentioned ("Super Duper," "The B-sides," "Snappy") as these are not documented in the available information about the band's history and discography.
