AP_55_The_Mother_Hips

Formed nearly 15 years ago at Chico State in Northern California, The Mother Hips have seen it all, and there are already two documentaries about them-Stories We Could Tell and This Is The Sound-to prove it. They've gone from dorm band to buzz band to cult favorite; they've taken a truckload of drugs and then kicked their habits; they've played with everyone from Wilco to Johnny Cash. Back together for this new release in 2007, they exhibit their strengths as a cohesive band who enjoy playing together. "Kiss The Crystal Flake" is an extremely strong showing for a group who's been together for this long.

James produces dance records. Dobs produces music for TV. Dobs' wife, classical singer Natasha Marsh sings on their album. Friends helped the boys round out the instrumentation for the album, and they produced it themselves on their own equipment at home. An award winner? You bet....

Buy it... you'll like it. :)

AP_53_The_Misprintz

Quoted from Bill Elberg:

"Since coming together we've written over 30 songs and played every major venue in Los Angeles including The Troubadour, The Cat Club, and the famous Whisky a Go Go. We've emerged to become one of L.A.'s most happenin' bands and fun live acts. Every MISPRINTZ show is an orgy of fun, kinky, hooky, good ole American rock and roll music. :)"
