THHF influence playlist...

Our manager got a few calls from, as they present theirselves; important people, asking how the new THHF material will sound.... So we simply put a spotify playlist together: Listen to the mix and *hokuspokusfillijokus*, there is exactly how a new Happy Hippo family song sounds! Pretty smart huh?



Get the 10 songs long THHF Influence playlist:

...and on the 8th day god created The Happy Hippo Family

November Rehearsal in a country saloon, with a gig whenever we want as the returning favour. Quite nice payback affair! Thanks to the saloon we're up in 6 songs for an album now...
Somewhere in the middle of rehearsing a new song called "Touch" we stopped and asked ourselves if we really are as good as people think we are... We sat down and talked about it over a cup of coffe and after a wild discussion that nearly ended up with a bar fight we finally came up with the answer that we actually are better than people think.

We have decided to take some more time for this recording-project. We're setting the release date to late 2010 or early 2011 and in the meantime we may leak some songs online and play for you guys whenever you want to!

On the subject good bands: There are two brilliant bands in this country right now. The other band is called The Berndt, and they have just finished the mixing on their upcoming album, we're looking forward to it and if you havent heard about it, you should really check it out! http://www.theberndt.com/

And Hey! Don't forget that you can follow our daily life, early mornings, late evenings and weekends through our facebook fan page!

Rehearsal

Last weekend we held a rehearsal in a preschool a few minutes drive from Orebro. We had a bunch of new song ideas to transform to gold but the weekend ended with a few brand new songs that we kind of wrote and put together right there & then.

Our goal is to have at least 8 new songs finished and ready for recording by the end of the first week in November. We have almost three at the moment, along with a handful genius ideas, so hopefully we will get there!

Next rehearsals will be 13 - 15 of November and 23 - 29 of November.

Until then, enjoy a vid from last weekend!

Strange Town + Plans

Hey Gals! Here's a video sample from the Gig in Hultsfred:


As you know by now, the song is called Strange Town... We've told you the story about it before!


THE PLAN:
We're pissed off at the moment, to the cause of many different reasons... Yes, It's hard to try to create a professional relationship to normal human beings when they are not as bright as us immortal Hippos... The Truth can be cruel sometimes...and to be honest: We are your truth, whether you want it or not! Anyhow, We're angry and Happy.


The reason to splendid happiness is that we are planing for our debut album. There's a case of songwriting sessions at the moment and hopefully (fingers crossed) we will start the recordings in November and work with that for 6 months. And we will share the whole process with you right here at the blog!
