About Me

The HYN band was formed in 2000 during the filming of our first feature film, the cross country documentary "How's Your News? - Voyage Across America". We got together in a living room to write some songs for the soundtrack and ended up recording a whole album.
We are a band of people with various disabilities. We promise you have never heard music quite like this!
The band has played shows all over the world - Austin, TX, Los Angeles, San. Fran, New York, Toronto, Montreal, Amsterdam, Boston, etc. We have played shows with State Radio, David Byrne, and The Polyphonic Spree.
How's Your News? is probably best known for it's films which have appeared at festivals worldwide and been broadcast on HBO/Cinemax, PBS, Trio, Channel Four England, and Showcase/IFC in Canada. Our first DVD, "How's Your News? - Voyage Across America" is out with Shout Factory and can be found at video stores, Amazon, or Netflix.
People sometimes ask us: Is this a joke?
Our Answer is "No!" HYN is often funny, and we like it that way, but we are very serious and proud of what we've done. We know the difference between laughing "at" and laughing "with".
