Cumberland Hop

It's here folks. The track all of you Tennesseans have been waiting for. The track was recorded at the beautiful Oceanway Studios in Nashville, TN and was mixed and produced by the talented Mr. P.J. Fenech. Hope you enjoy.

This has been brought to you in part by The Admiral Doc Hop-a-long Foundation, helping toads everywhere get funky, and by listeners like you. Thank you!

T-E-Double N-E-Double S-E-E

Hold on to your hats everybody. H-Beam's Tennessee tribute anthem "Cumberland Hop" is headed down to Rodney Mills Masterhouse to get ready to roll through Tennessee and straight to the ears and hopefully the hearts of all fellow Tennessean's. We're letting everyone know how much we love kickin' it straight southern style. The people are too nice. Even most of the die hard red-necks. So get yer jack, jim, or kickin'- chickin' ready, we're having a party when this thing hits the airwaves.

Also, just for you science nuts, we sent the track to UC Berkeley to do a close-up high-frequency hyper-microscopic laser-guided photo-spread of the song itself (we had a friend who owed us a favor).

This is what we got back. See ya soon.

The Birthday Bash Event of the Year. There's gonna be cake!

The birthing of Olivia Boxer, the Excitable Unicorn

Ok folks, this is a inside look as to how we are making some of the crazy shit for the stage shows, but I would like to seriously convey that these thinks come to life, have a birthplace, a favorite color, a hobby or two and in no way are inanimate, emotionless, or financially stable, pretty much like you and me. So, without further ado, here is miss Olivia Boxer, Topher's Bride for new year's!




Started out with two balloons, one bigger than the other. Paper-mached 'em both. Used a flattened out water bottle to bridge the two circles together. I went through 4 balloons before I could get one not to pop. Lots of Duct tape. And swearing.





It's beginning to come to life... Used felt for the upholstery.





How the hell did he get in here.



you can see the launcher from inside the head. Mostly pvc fittings.




You can see where the person in the suit puts his/her arm up in the head to man the launcher.







Isn't she beautiful. Neon pipe cleaners and yarn for the mane. Used stiff felt pads and foam for the horn. A nice veil for the bride. We're all set.

Blogger catch up... big time.

We've been neglecting our blogger page, and frankly, we're sorry. Nothing more I think needs to be said. Happy New Year everybody, here's what's been happening:

Some answers for the New Years Eve Wedding.
Current mood: exhausted
Category: Music

Father Time isn't the only one making you bust out the champagne this New Years' Eve. H-Beam is planning the wedding of the year to coincide with the ball plunging into 2008, and who better to celebrate it with than the rest of the world. For the Bachelor party, H-Beam is headed around the globe to try and catch the New Years party on every continent all in the comfort of Windows on the Cumberland!

Using the fuel of imagination, H-Beam will jetset the audience to the world's New Years' hot spots filled with crazy characters, worldly party facts, and performances in every continent with plenty of regional satire. H-Beam will return to host the wedding at Windows on the Cumberland with hometown favorites The Loft playing the reception directly following the ceremony. So prepare your best attire, get out your passports, and don't forget to R.S.V.P.

Set the date...
Current mood: anxious
Category: girthed Life

Twas three days until Christmas and plans have been set
for festivities on New Years, the biggest one yet.
A flight around the globe with numerous stops
Then someone's getting married before the ball drops

New creatures being made to meet on the trip
that all will take place on the seat that you sit
With beer served by Windows and Rock from the Loft
You have to attend, you'd be hard pressed to not

So H-Beam is planning for the wedding of the year
With a show to entertain, then ceremony to tear.
you got psychedelics, drop em like it's hot
Happy birthday Jesus, then it's time to rock.
