About Me
RETRO ROCKS!! The Old School sound is back! The new DEFF HIPPY CD is here -DIG IT!!- the tracks on this page are from "Nu Future", the new 13-song extended lenght CD. GROOVY- The third full length release "Nu Future" is in select stores February '09. Featuring new lead guitarist Shred, old school-mate of Deff's, this is the freshest retro-rock yet! The first track is inspired by Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" (Hendrix, Zeppelin). The 2nd features Eliza B on backup vox in Lennon-Ono-esque. The third song "Got Ca$h?" is a 70's-ish hard rocker. Track 4 is a jazzy instumental piece of ear-candy showcasing Shred's fleet fingerings. "B My Sqweez" is a retro-fifties crooner bit ala Rat Pack. Number six is classical-rooted spin loosely based on early Jethro Tull. More tunes will be uploaded soon - check back!Songs from the previous CD, an anti-war protest album (2007) "Just Say No to War", are posted on the Deff Hippy II friend page. The CDs are available at Twist n Shout and Wax Trax. "Just Say No to War" T-shirts and bumper stickers are available also. Songs from the First Album are posted on the Deff Hippy III myspace page.
