About The Hi-Tones: From slashing, futuristic grunge, to psychedelic vibrato (Frenchie Smith Records)
Trippy organs, groovy beats, and thick greasy chords characterize the emanating sounds which are reminiscent of vintage rock groups like Bowie or Syd Barrett's early version of The Pink Floyd and are on par with modern acts such as The Black Keys, The Strokes, Dead Weather, and The Black Angels.
The Hi-Tones began as a music collaboration between founding members bassist Gary Delgado, vocalist Johnny Flores.The band formed was called Dans La Lune, and a couple of the songs written during that era managed to end up on The Hi-Tones debut EP and are still performed today. Over the past couple years, Kurt Lammers has settled in as The Hi-Tones drummer. Introduced to Flores and Delgado through a mutual friend, Kurt's extensive knowledge of rhythm and music theory has been crucial in the writing and recording of the new TransAudioStasis EP, which was produced by grammy nominated rock producer Chris "Frenchie" Smith. Kurt solidified his chops on the drumline at the University of Arkansas. Kyle Abrams has been in the group for the past eight months and has quickly established himself as the new guitar sound for the group. Kyle's gritty, experimental style, has been a much welcomed breath of fresh air to the group. His ability to cover a wide range of tone from, slashing, futuristic grunge, to psychedelic vibrato and delay adds an element of dynamic that the group had been searching for. He played a huge role in sculpting the overall feel of TransAudioStasis and the future of the group itself. More recently, the The Hi-Tones have added keyboard/synth player Alyson Beaujon. She has brought a irresistible charm to the band and is a key factor in the re-creating of the sounds and moods of the new album for the live show. The Hi-Tones officially showcased at the SXSW Music Festival in Spring 2011 and will be releasing their full length LP Black Matter Manifesto in the Spring of 2012.
