Goodnight, Dear Goodnight, Dear
Uplifting Hard Rock with a touch of pop. An incline into warm, thick, fluid rock.
Luke Marquard, part-time corporate magazine writer, full-time love doctor, takes off his jacket and tie and straps on a guitar and plays some keyboards, but mostly lets the fury be unleashed from his founding position in Hinken. Mike Marquard, kid brother, part-time student, full-time dreamer, fills in the gaps with lucious lead guitar and soaring vocals. The rest of the band sometimes dissappears, changes names, or doesn't exist. The future predicts a more consistent and permanent Hinken.Band/artist history
Luke played in Hangar 51 which turned into Acrylic from 1996-2001.
Mike played in Inlet from 1999-2000. In Grandmother Squash from 2000-2003. In Acrylic from 2001-2002.
Hinken formed out of common sense and brotherly love in the autumn of 2002 and has slowly been blooming.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. Usually in Chicago, Minneapolis, or St. Louis. Playing live is the reason we're a band. All live moments are special. Opening for Zwan was sweet.
