Good news, he’s real! He puts his gold lame, dancy pants, on one leg at a time just like everyone else. Except, when he does he makes them shits look good and turns the crowd into his own personal surf board. His wrestling belt says that he is the champion, and he just may be the Muhammad Ali of party-core. He thinks you are important, he loves you all very, very much, he’s yr friend and a whole lot more. Six foot five, ridiculously long red wavy hair, often shirtless, you’ll know him when you see him, and trust me, you’ll see him so, say hello.

By day, a mild mannered, blue collared, family man; by night: he’s a party animal… a high flying, keg standing, beer ponging, air guitar legend. His Pee Wee Herman is currently stronger than Paul Rubens’. Yeah its like that. He wants, knows just how, and often dances to Michael Jackson. He has composed free-style choreography for The Cellphone Dance Boys, The Pussy Cat Dolls, and the entire casts of Glee, Fame, and Jersey Shore.

And who are those other dudes?

On guitar: Chris Brenner



has just celebrated his one-year anniversary with the HG. In such time he’s reaped the fringe lifestyle benefits of true DIY arena rock and picked up a pair of furry white Ugz along the way. Yes, in case you were wondering, he does know Sneaky Mike.

On bass: (usually) Justin Brown.




He’s all balls. The Hood Gang is his 2nd or 1st, possibly 5th family. He is almost certainly a polygamist. Big Love! Usually wearing not much more than a smile he is often forced to keep band unity and defuse in-band skirmishes by getting naked.

Duuuuuuude! Don’t forget about Cha.



Seriously, Miguel Sague II is THE premiere Latin percussionist in the city. He’s been sitting behind a set of congas since the age of 5. He is probably the most positive and friendly person you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting but this sometimes gets him into scrapes, which often turn out to be hilarious. He serves as the de facto spiritual advisor for the band and in his free time he fights crime… I mean what else could he be doing in the bathroom for that long?

Dylan



plays drums and a lot of video games. What else is there to say about
this guy?

And sometimes: Jeremy Malvin, on synths, rhythm guitar,
and auxilary percussion



this musical wonder-kid is Sneaky’s latest party-core protégé. He performs dancy-electro pop and mash-ups under the moniker, Professor Purple. Much younger than the rest of the HG he has recently graduated from the same art High School (CAPA) as Sneaky, Monkey, and Cha but, nearly a decade later. He majors in percussion at the University of Michigan when he’s not Greyhounding back to the ‘Burgh for ROLLER BOOGIES, to meet up with the rest of the HG to open for buzz acts in NYC, or for a whirlwind adventure at SXSW; all unbenounced to his mother, who would surely
disapprove.
