Hogsnort Rupert' are a New Zealand band. Originally formed in 1969 as Hogsnort Rupert's Original Flagon Band, they shortened their name with their second album in 1970.

Dave Luther was also a member of New Zealand band Dave and the Dynamos, who had a Number 1 hit in 1983 with their song 'Life begins at 40'. The other members were Kevin Findlater (bass) and Bernie Reber (drums).
Hogsnort Rupert is still a band today and is certainly one of the longest running bands in New Zealand history as they have been running for almost 40 years.
An earlier, unrelated band existed in Guildford, UK between 1963 and 1966.[citation needed] [edit] Discography
