Hey All!
The Hype! is pleased to announce that we’ve been invited to play on Tony Sarabia’s Morning Show on Wednesday, July 3rd The show airs from 8:50am-10:30, and can be streamed on http://wbez.org
You can also dial in, if you live in Chicago at 91.5FM
We’re part of their monthly programming of Mash-Ups, where we’ve been challenged to play the music of one song while singing the melody and lyrics of another. We’re keeping our selections under our hat, as usual. Tune in for the interview and the music.
If you missed it, the show will also be archived on WBEZ’s site. Link here:
Our wonderful bass player, Erik Rosengren has recently injured his wrist.
While he makes a speedy recovery, the talented Jim MacGregor will be playing in his stead.
Get well, soon, Erik!
As a bonus, here’s an outtake we did, also recorded and mixed by Mary Gaffney.
For those familiar with U.S. Maple, we never rehearsed this before we played it live. For those unfamiliar with U.S. Maple, we rehearsed this hundreds of times, and this is exactly how it’s supposed to sound.
as always, thank you!
the Hype!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We were honored to play the Fryday/Biscan wedding from last summer, which was featured in Rock N Roll Bride. It was fantastic. We are pleased to announce the “premiere” of the first two videos, courtesy of Jim Birch and Caffeinated Recordings. More available soon!
Our guitar player, Electro was jet-setting at the time, and could not attend.
We were joined by the exceptional Brent Mix, who added Saxophone, Vocals and Percussion.
Thanks!
the Hype!
Welcome!
Excuse the dust while we get our things in order, until then, feel free to visit our archive at the PRFBBQ site. It’s chock-full of videos and photos of our performances from 2009-2012, and was lovingly collected by Jim Birch and Matt Engstrom of Caffeinated Recordings.
