Band History:
Lineage dates back to NYC-based improv band "The Hypocrites," founded in 1986 (not to be confused with more recent band from Baltimore w/that name). Performed back then mostly at bars, parks, festivals, even an old folks home. The music got occasional radio play in Montreal and Boston. Today, Expressway Mind is catch-all for whatever gets created by former Hypocrites and an expanding group of collaborators.
