The Good, The Bad, and The Queen ft. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble





We hit the stage with Damon Albarn for the finale of his show, then ended the show with Jerry Dammers playing Ghost Town. The song we played with Damon was a song we recorded with him our last time in the U.K. I love playing with these guys. You can expect to see more of us with The Good, The Bad, and The Queen. How about the Lincoln Center, NY? That's going to be a crazy show. Next up. Get ready for H.B.E at Joe's pub. See you there.

This festival has been going on for thirty years. With different artist through the years, it has become the second largest fest in London. This year Hypnotic got to give some love and join the long list of the love music hate racism performers. Not playing original tunes though.

Love Music Hate Racism

Hey H.B.E world. i would love to catch you up on that we've done this year, but i'd rather just skip all that. Or we'll just talk about it later. Maybe. O.k, so we're in London right now. You got to love pound country. Europe show us a lot of love. We played for Damon Albarn and Jerry Dammers.We didn't play any standard H.B.E. it was their show. And yes we killed the show. Put anything before us and we'll put our brand on it. We're headed back to NY for our night at Joes pub on may 3rd.

It's hard to stay gone from the CHI. It's more than visiting family and chillin with friends. I sometimes forget how many thing you can do in Chicago. After having a brief reunion with the cultural community of Chicago, celebrating the First Fruits festival called Kwanzaa. We went back to NYC. But not for long. On the 22nd of that same month we partied with the Depaul University crowd. Giving them that Hypnotic sound that we don't give to often.
