i wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a DVD. it seems that over the years, the Hip have lost touch with their fans.
for many years they were active in keeping the fans up to date on the happenings in the band. they used to mail out the Tales From the Hip, they introduced the hyper cd's (a project they never finished), and they used to keep their website up to date.
now, we have the Hip Club which has not been updated since July and really only has a couple updates since it's creation. their website hasn't changed since IVL was released (m. also, they decided to do a "western" canada theatre tour which left over half the country out in the cold.
i know that there hasn't been much to report lately, but the least they could do is keep their fans updated on the recording process. maybe they could post their thoughts on what the new record might sound like. things like that would get this community talking again and possibly spark interest in a new tour, etc.
