HM ON THE XM -- XM Radio is interviewing Tripp this Friday at 6:30pm EDT (12/13/02) on the Unsigned Channel. If you're not hooked up with the XM yet, tune in online at XM Radio.com.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS -- We want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. Thanks to all of you who have supported us throughout the year...we'll see you in 2003.
WHAT'S UP WITH HM? -- Not to worry...we're on a little hiatus and looking forward to sharing a new record with you soon. Stay tuned for more details, and we'll let you know of any upcoming HM shows, too.
We also want to send out a big boo-ya! to Aquil and his new wife Melissa. The couple recently married...congrats!!!
ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES...AGAIN -- We had to cancel the Orlando/Lost & Found show set for tonight (10/25). Bad timing with other unforeseen scheduling conflicts. Our bad. Look for a new and improved HM on the stage in the months to come.
ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES -- Unfortunately Hank Madison won't be playing at the State Theatre this weekend (10/19). We're sorry to the people who purchased tickets, but we want to encourage you to check out the other bands. It promises to be a hell of a night of music.
HOGTOWN ROCKS -- The Music Law Conference was a success. We played with two great bands at the infamous Side Bar Saturday evening. Keep an eye on Miami rockers, DC-3 and our longtime friends Soulfound, too. A big huge set of thank yous to our new friends, Audrey, Michele, and Nicki -- you guys were awesome! MVP Jason Gordon and our man, Moe Rodriguez deserve kudos as well.
WHAT'S UP WITH THE NEW RECORD? -- The facts: 8 brand new tunes, possibly a ninth. They'll all be included on a new disc with the three 'demonstration' tunes. We don't know when, but they're getting mixed as we write this. Be patient. Stay in school, don't do drugs, and take your vitamins.
WHOA!! -- We fondled Orlando...yes, we did. Thanks to everyone who came out. A great crowd indeed. And special thanks to our brothers in Four Years Past...be on the lookout for more shows with them in the future. Then to Ft. Myers and the infamous Gotham Hall. Holy smokes, Batman. The crowd there caught the HM tackling a longer set full of tunes new and old. We had a great time (sorry we ran out of discs!), and want to tell The Hazies they're the best band with a faux-evangelist routine in the world. Period.
STOP THE PRESSES -- We want to thank all of the local music magazines for taking interest in the HM. aXis Mag, the UCF Independent and Connections in Orlando, and Focus Magazine in the Tampa Bay Area have been following through on their promise to bring their readers the latest on regional acts. THANK YOU!!!
A BIG WEEKEND -- We're looking forward to TWO great shows this weekend. First up, Orlando's Social w/Four Years Past. This will be a killer show. Doors are at 9pm and the HM goes on soon after. Be there! THEN, down to Ft. Myers for a one night stint with The Hazies at Gotham Hall (downtown Ft Myers corner of 1st and Hendry st.). Lee County will never be the same.
PRESS THE BIG RED BUTTON -- Back into the studio. In a couple of weeks, Alex Gibson arrives from the left coast to begin tracking some brand spankin' new HM tunes. We've been talking about this for a while, and now it looks like a reality. Thank god.
ATLANTIS IN ATLANTA -- Thanks to everyone who made it out to the showcase in Atlanta on the 1st. We can't say enough thank you's to the staff at the Riviera, and we're glad we got some time in front of the A&R reps that came out. Needless to say the HM came out in force and enjoyed the show at the Clermont afterwards. Big girls need love, too. Erik Tamplin is the man!!!!
LOOK OUT ATLANTA -- The HM rolls into 'hotlanta' this week for some major label showcasing. If you're in the area come and see us at The Riveria (midtown) on Thursday at 8pm. Thanks to web-boy extraordinaire Erik Tamplin for hosting the band and offering to clean up all the urine. More info here.
LOST & FOUND AGAIN -- Thanks to those of you who made it out to the show in 'Bongwood' on July 20th. It was great to see friends from south florida, the boys from Meridian, and all the other cool bands (Longwood, Hugo, & Table Three). Thanks for everything, and as you can see in the show listings below, we've got a busy month. We'll be at Orlando's Social with Four Years Past on the 16th. Be there!!!!
CHECK OUT STUART DAVIS -- Tripp had a chance to check out the Kid Mystic himself, Stuart Davis recently at Full Sail in Orlando. Stuart was recording material for an upcoming live release, and the show was amazing. Please check out his site and order his mind/soul expanding stuff. Here's a link.
THE HAZIES ONLINE -- Finally those Hazies got a website going on...check it out here. Word has it that HM frontman Tripp forced his way onstage at a recent Hazies show to sing backup on Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry." Look for more shows featuring the two bands in the near future.
THANK YOU, ORLANDO -- This past weekend's show in Orlando was awesome. Thanks to everyone at the Lost & Found, Four Years Past, Longwood, and Eve to Adam. Glad we had a chance to make some new friends and fans. Sorry we ran out of disks!!!! Stay tuned cause we'll be back on July 20th.
HEADFAKE IN THE AREA -- Tripp had a chance to check out Living Colour alumni Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun recently in Tallahassee. They're calling themselves "Headfake" and we've got pictures right here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AQUIL -- Chocolate Thunder had a birthday on the fifth...best wishes to "El Grenado". You can bet he had a drink or two and a bite to eat. "Bet!"
LOOK OUT ATLANTA -- Hank Madison has been accepted into the Atlantis Music Festival. The specifics are below, and the band can't wait to rock the A-T-L.
ESCAPE FROM ORLANDO -- We want to thank everyone who showed their support at this past weekend's aXis Magazine Florida Music Fest. We made so many new friends and fans that it's unbelievable. We want to extend our thanks to Pam Klein at Serling Rooks and Ferrara, our new friends at BMI, aXis Magazine, 10 Second Drop for the comaraderie, and everyone else who helped us put away lots of cocktails. Shouts to Neil and Brandon of Socialburn, Jay from Presence, everyone in Four Years Past, Indium, and the amazing Gone Blind. We hope to keep in touch with everyone we met, and we're sorry if we forgot anybody...
HM AT THE AXIS MAG FLORIDA MUSIC FEST -- Big show this Friday night at Orlando's Social. All part of the aXis Magazine Florida Music Fest, the best bands from the Sunshine State are showing their stuff over the course of three days. Check out a cool HM interview/article here. Also congrats to the New Address boys for inking a deal with Atlantic Records.
THANKS TO JIM BEAM -- We want to thank everyone who checked us out at Jim Beam's music website. We gained a bit of exposure and made some new fans. Check out this feedback from a Seattle voter, "I hope you guys win. I've been voting on the Jim Beam site for a while now and have heard some great music. You guys are the best so far.
Good luck to you." -- Tony Bellizzi, Seattle
JIM BEAM DOES US GOOD -- Check out this feedback from a Seattle voter, "I hope you guys win. I've been voting on the Jim Beam site for a while now and have heard some great music. You guys are the best so far.
Good luck to you." -- Tony Bellizzi, Seattle
JIM BEAM HANGS WITH HANK -- Starting Wednesday at 7pm, Hank Madison will be one of several bands featured on Jim Beam's Music Website. Get over there and vote for the HM so we can win a ton of cash or a hangover.
IN THE TWILIGHT -- We want to thank all of our friends and fans who made it out to The Twilight in Ybor City Friday night. Special thanks to the club, the Hazies, Sugar Spoon, and John Wesley's group for making the night a great one. Glad we had the chance to make some new friends and play such a cool venue.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JACK -- Light your candles and throw down some cold gin for our boy Jack. He turns 19 today.
O-TOWN TO THE RESCUE -- Thanks to everyone at the Lost & Found in Orlando. Last weekend's show with the Hazies and Coletta was very cool...got to make some new friends (shouts to 4 Years Past and Lucid Fly). We hope to make Orlando a regular stop so stay tuned.
WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED? -- Thomasville rocks! We want to thank the staff at TU, X101.5, Socialburn, King Cotton, Meridian (thanks for all the help, guys!), Ultimate Sound & Lights and all the other bands for making this a great event. And we can't forget the crowd. Holy sh*t! Sorry we didn't have enough discs to go around, but you guys were awesome! If you were at the show, sign up on the emailing list so we can keep in touch.
UPDATE -- Sorry for the weird server stuff. We have no idea what happened. A big weekend for the HM (3/2/2))...a very cool show with the legendary Hazies (these guys know how to put on a show) and the beginning of what will hopefully be a fruitful relationship with Serling Rooks and Ferrara attorney, Pam Klein.
We're sorry that the HM couldn't make tonight's birthday bash for the Holleywood & Brewski radio show at Boomerz. Thanks for all the support guys! We'll have to catch you some other time.
AM I EVEL? -- Last weekend's show at the Alley was attended by none other than Evel Knievel himself. Definitely a career highpoint for the HM. It was great to meet and greet the real fans who are making it out to the shows and spreading the HM gospel. Keep it up...we need you. We want to thank Code Sunshine and the mighty Trip2Go for opening the night. Watch out for these bands (and Trip2Go's "Why" is awesome).
DEMONSTRATION REVIEWED -- The fine folks at CoyoteMusic.com have made available what could be the most accurate Hank Madison review yet so read it here. Email them and let 'em know what you think. A very special thanks goes out to Wiley Koepp.
HM ON THE ORLANDO RADIO -- We got several calls last week from alert listeners of Orlando's Philips Phile drive time radio show (WTKS 104.1 FM). What did they say? "OH MY GOD, HANK MADISON IS ON THE RADIO!!!" From our reports "Arrested" and the classic "Pig" were played on two seperate days. After you hassle Wiley, you should scream for more HM on the Philips Phile. Thanks!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! -- Thanks to all of you who caught the slew of HM shows throughout the Holiday Season. Our friends at the television show Do What brought two lucky VIPs in a limo to the State Theatre show. We'll let you know when you can tune in to check out the segment. Thanks to Do What and Holleywood & Brewski!! And the Gasoline Alley New Year's show went off without a hitch. Special thanks to the awesome Trip2Go, Gasoline Alley and our fans.
