Ok guys, I know there are tons of "Listen to my band!" threads, but we're promoting our album and I figured what better way to advertise than with the fine people on Talkbass? Still there? Good. The music is progressive jazz/rock and the band is The Hypsys (Hip + Gypsys= Hypsys). Hope you enjoy!!

I'm listening to your stuff right now, and it sounds pretty killer! Nice playing, nice style too! I dig it!

Very cool stuff, sounds great. Nice job

Mark Olson · #4 01-23-2009, 08:14 PM

Really thanks for posting this! I'm going to show your stuff to my brother, a guitar player. He's into the jazzier realm, and is struggling to play more tastefully. I think he can learn a thing or two from you guys!

Man... DRay...That is some VERY GOOD STUFF! I don't remember enjoying a 'listen to my band' link this much in an awfully long time. I'll be checking out iTunes...

Listening to Jazz Butter right now, and I have to say I like it.

Hey guys, I thought I'd post some better links. Again, thanks for checking it out.

Also, if anyone in another band is interested in trading off shows, just PM me.

your band is awesome. your bass playing sounds really good too! i dig the tone as well. keep it up, man

Luke19Boarder · #12 01-27-2009, 01:34 PM

You guys sound really tight. Good tunes, too. You sound a little like a local band around here that we've played with, but with a stripped down lineup and more energy. Good stuff. Bass playing was dead on.

feel free to check out my thread if you want, eh? eh?

New Recordings from my band (pop/rock)

Thanks man! I checked out your band as well, really tight sound. Love the bass tone too. The tracking video was a nice touch too.

Don't be afraid to promote yourself, especially if you have a killer product to push!

Me likes it!
