About Me

WHAT IS HYPNOTUBA?!?!?!
You got a buncha nothin', mixed with a heap o' trouble. Lo-fi cheesiness. Casios and metallic songs about cream cheese. Apples are good. You ain't heard music this awful before.
WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HYPNOTUBA??!!??!
"Hypnotuba is what would happen if robots were programmed with a peppy/snarky sense of humor, the ability to generate sounds and music, and an overview of most of the major forms of music."
--- Neo-Zine (www.myspace.com/neozine)
"Lo-fi electronic noise-pop that refuses to give in to anything remotely modern, ..Loosed.. is odd but damn fun."
--- Smother Magazine (www.smother.net)
"Sounding something like a rock opera from another planet, this electronic-heavy wonder needs to be taken all at once to be fully appreciated. No hit singles, no skipping tracks - just start it from the top and see what you can make out of it."
--- Indieville (www.indieville.com), reviewing S.E.S.B.
"If Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po took acid, went to Walmart and started a hippie commune in the electronics department, 'Prefixes...' is what it would sound like. "
--- some dude from Yesfans.com
WHERE CAN I GET THE MUSIC?!!??!
Look to the left! On this page anyway. There you will find links to get the music either at CD Baby or iTunes!ALSO, don't forget to get shirts, magnets and various other goodies for your trouble at CafePress:
www.cafepress.com/hypnotuba
Goodies like buttons, mousepads. . .good stuffs. Oh, and uh, remember the CDs. Don't forget about the music. Hopefully that's why you're here. :)
IS THIS A BROWN MAP OR WHAT?!!!??!
Yes. It is a brown map. Just don't forget about yellow. And orange.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/1/2006
Band Members: OK, so there's this dude, right, and he. . .
Influences: Rick Wakeman's golden cape. Keith Emerson's flying piano.

How can I decide my top influences? Oh well, here's a few for now!

Yes, Takako Minekawa, The Monkees, Pianosaurus, One Star, Genesis, Sylvia 55, They Might Be Giants, Marillion. . . . . . .

Doesn't cover everyhing, but it'd take too long to list every possible influence in this space.

Also, check out my top "friends" for more influences. They're so influential I sent them "friend" requests. How's that for influential?!?! :)

If I've listened to it, I've probably been influenced by it. And copied it. Because I have no good ideas of my own. :)

Sounds Like: Your worst nightmare, assuming it involves tubas. Hypnotic tubas... .. . ....... . . . ....
