HIPE (US)
HIPE... possibly the only band that has played for over a decade, with nothing but spontaneous rock jams that crosses and borrows from many genres. A three piece instrumental fusion band that likes to take chances and explore possibilities of experimantations.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band started out as MUSIC playing thursday nites at the Blue Terrapin in Elizabethtown, PA. The band has played many gigs under names like Lava, Moderation, Bottle, Free Note Society, Amourphis, wanandubada, Music and many others.
We used to encourage audience participation so that anybody could come with any instrument and join in the freeform jam. This had it's moments of both good and bad.
The band has not set into the 4some you will see at most shows...the thunder, the planet, the space and the man.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
WE play live at many shows under many previous names. Our favorite place is in Pequea Pa where the campowners are the kindest, nicest people who inspired us to form this band.
