The Haymakers--Macaroni and Cheese for yer Ears!!

About Me

The Haymakers were an 8 piece rock band from Orangeville, Ontario. We broke up when we could no longer keep thing moving in a productive manner. We are still all friends. And we all still hang out and make music, in one form or another. Although I sometimes had my doubts, I am now quite sure we did not suck. And beyond what the band was or wasn't, we managed to bring together a whole community of musicians, who are still creating awsome music to this day. Plus we smoked about two billion poppers. I think that's something in and of itself.

And now you can rest, Mr. Thompson....

Hunter S. Thompson is dead, and so is a tiny piece of my soul. Bob Dylan and Thompson came into my life virtually at the same time, and taught me that the truth is a good thing, and being a freak i...
