RIP Les Paul

Today we lost one of the most important figures in the music world- Les Paul. He may not have been perceived as an icon, but his famous guitar design most assuredly is. The Gibson Les Paul guitar is, along with the Fender Stratocaster (RIP Leo), one of the most recognizeable instruments in any genre of music.

Les Paul was an inventor and innovator, creating many of the recording techniques that are still widely used to this day.

Burnin' the candle

Had a great night at Lennon Studios! We worked on two new songs and a potential third. We nabbed an early spot so we all got home in time for supper!

The first song is tentatively titled "Play The Fool" and is another riff-driven, hard rocking tune with a saucy wah-filled guitar solo. The second is yet to be named but starts out softly and features the brothers' subtle duet. As this song crescendos, heavy chunk is in abundance! The third is a funky, crunchy, groovy thing that may one day find itself as background music to an, um, 'artistic' film.

It was a good night!

RIP Michael Jackson

Farewell to the King of Pop. MJ has influenced artists of every genre. Including us.

MHB rehearse

After each show, for whatever reason, people often ask how we rehearse. How often, what songs, methods, etc. Well to answer that question, I'll just say that you can find us on any given night at one of the legendary rehearsal studios in SF. We load in, plug in, and indulge in exotic treats before we start the organized noise that we call music.

When we get the big rehearsal stage, it looks kinda like this:

RDL was a hit!

It's been almost a week since we played the Red Devil Lounge, and our heads are still spinning! The vibe was great, and our set went off without a hitch! Thanks to Mr. Mime and Evolution Eden for sharing the stage with us on this amazing night! Thanks also to Lisa, who performed her glow-in-the-dark hula hoop act during our set!

Big thanks to all that came out to support us and buy our CDs! We are currently working on new tunes and formulating our next gig, so stay tuned!

Red Devil Lounge!

We will be playing at another great San Francisco venue this June- The Red Devil Lounge!

Details to come, but we will be joined by our ol' friends Evolution Eden, Mr. Mime, and Zen Vendetta!

Stay Tuned!

Springtime and the swine

The MHB camp is grinding away in the background - we just had a really great set at the Beale St. Bar in SF. We opened for Solcraft for their CD release gig. We pulled in a good 65 peeps that night, and the place was packed! It's an intimate venue with a smallish (though newly expanded) stage and vocal PA only. We pulled off our set as flawlessy as could be while still bouncing around and having fun! Huge thanks to all of our supporters for coming out!

We are working on a couple of new songs and prepping for our next gig at the one and only Red Devil Lounge in SF on June 17.

We are preparing our packet to submit to the San Jose Rock N Roll Half Marathon this year. Hopefully we will be chosen to play on October 4th at one of the coolest races in Nor Cal.

Stay tuned, and thanks for checking in on us!
