There's another really solid Tribute band based out of the Ottawa area called Little Bones...the bass player is actually my bass coach.
A couple of beers and a some fake smoke and you'd swear your watching the real deal. The lead singer is quite the character, tons of energy and quite the ranter in his own rite.
For those of us who are unable to see the real Hip as often as we'd like it's not a bad idea to check out these tribute guys when we get the chance.
It beats sitting at home listening to the latest Default or Chad Kruger hack job on the radio...man I don't like those guys...uber cheese!!!!!

I'm a singer/songwriter/guitarist and live in the suburbs of Detroit. I know here in the States a Hip cover project wouldn't work(one of the great mysteries of the music world...why the hip can't make it in the states?). However, I play my own shows around the area (solo acoustic..etc) and I usually include a Hip song every now and then. Funny how people recognize Grace Too and Wheat Kings but they don't know who did it originally. I've got friends who love to hear me do Grace. Just chiming in.... :thumb:

I've seen both Road Apples and Practically HIP
Road Apples play every May 24 weekend at AJ's hangar here in Kingston, the lead singer owns a golf course, so that probably keeps him pretty busy.
Practically HIP I've seen a few times and when they come to the great city try to meet and tour them about town. I can't wait to see them again. Each of them individually is an AMAZING musician. And very nice people

I'm in 100%. I have friends in Mississauga and I would have little problem getting out there so long as it's transit accessible.

I love the idea of a hip cover band! Even if it's nothing serious just jamming on it would be fun! But only one problem... I live in Ottawa and no one who's replied to this has been that close!
Let me know if someone around me wants to get something started.
I know every song. And if I just lied... then i can relearn it in a few seconds!

I've got an acousticsonic amp and a Peavey 112 also. I would be willing to leave it somewhere if that's an option.

The Road Apples were phenomenal!! I would do anything to see them again. Saw them 4 times. I don't think they've played AJ's in years. The Little Bones website says they broke up.
