The Hinges

About Me

Beatless and searching the HEART drove down a lonely but crowded highway. Beside him was his old friend the MIND, after exchanging numbers over humming dotted lines, they met with SOUL and some others to try and form a band. the others dropped off, but mind, heart, and soul remained. Although passionate, precise and playful the three knew they were missing something. Patience paid off as in succession the FACE and VOICE were added. This body of parts formed the Hinges on October 21, 2006 when they played to an at capacity crowd of friends, fans and soon to be fans at the now defunct Mickey's in Charlotte, NC.Since then the band has played numerous shows at their favorite Asian Fung Swayzian bar and lounge in Raleigh, 5-Star (www.heatseekershrimp.com), while coming home to jam out the DNG at Dilworth and Morehead in Charlotte and go back to school at four of five's alma mater to rock out Chapel Hill.The Hinges continue to bring energy and charm to their show of classic, 80's, grunge and new rock infused with many original songs. The band has been working since this summer (2007) on releasing their debut CD, while also honing their own brand of rock n' roll.With their eyes set on a debut CD, raving fans, and new gigs to come in Asheville, Wilmington, Atlanta, Columbia and other major draws of the South, the journey is going well for this body of parts. We look forward to meeting new people on our site so please say hello and contact the band with info on availability if you would like the Hinges to play in your area. .
