About Me

Click to buy the debut CD now!:

Wiith its roots in Saturday night beer-fueled singalongs in the living room of Greg and Melissa Host, the band slowly grew into a 6 piece outfit made distinctive by the classic sounds of vintage instruments coupled with modern electronica, soaring harmonies, jangly pop tunes and brutally honest lyrics.

The self proclaimed stewards of the new Paisley Movement, The Hosts are on a mission to return bubblegum and LSD, clean jangling guitars and love beads to the musical landscape.

Clad only in Nehru jackets and decades of pretense, war, pollution and inactivity, The Hosts have been roused from their somnambulant hibernation like languid seed pods planted in 1967, ready to take on whomever should listen to their shameless modern pop songs.

Peace, and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, to you all.
