Buck Moore plays a 1986 Fender , '57 re-issue, Japanese Stratocaster with Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickups, and String Savers saddles, nut and string tree. He plays through a 50 Watt Yorkville Bass amp combo fed copius amounts of Sansamp GT2 cabinet simulator for a ripping, ballsy guitar tone. Mike Severin plays an M-Audio keyboard controller through...through...I will ask him and update. Mark Richards plays a white bass guitar (I think it's a Fender P-Bass, but I'll haveto check). Neil Saunders plays a set of drums which....which...ummmm...let me check that as well.
This is pretty much what to expect for our Halloween show, except, we haven't played in a while and are feeling a little backed up...be prepared for an onslaught of yaya's!! Oh, and we'll wear costumes and have some props and there may even be a bloodbath by The Evil Deer Head.
Grant Buffett, and the Reconsilers, will be opening the show starting at 4 pm. It's the last 'Car-Free Sunday' of the year at the market. You'll be able to go home early after this afternoon show. The Hoods will perform at, uh....about 6-ish.

Well, being charged with the task of updating the .com and such, I decided the best way to update the Hoods's (Hoodses) information is to redirect the url to this blog, see? That way I can post new video news, etc.....
I have a video cookin' in the oven right now and when it's baked, I shall upload it.
The video is of the Hoods way back in 1996 when Videofact and Ink Monkey's helped the Hoodlets make a video for, ideally, Much Music...who probably played it, like twice, I think. Turns out they wouldn't promote the band, they'd just help pay for a video and the band was on their own with two copies of their CD in every Sam's (Sam the Record Man) and HMV across Canada because, well, we didn't have any rotation, even light rotation, on the air, so too bad for ze Hoodz!
Anyway, now it's like, 2010 or something and we have YouTube and Blogger!!! We can damn well rotate ourselves if we want to and we are!!! There are lots of videos of the hoods at www.clicktv.org (The Bacontrees channel).

Here's 'Bruised', from Lee's Palace back in...in, uh....I can't recall.
With a career lasting thirty-three years, vocalist/guitarist IAN "KNOX" CARNOCHAN, bassist PAT COLLIER, guitarist JOHN ELLIS and drummer EDDIE originally formed the VIBRATORS in February 1976.
Early in 1977 the band supported IGGY POP (with DAVID BOWIE on keyboards) on a UK tour, then moved to EPIC RECORDS and released the classic "BABY BABY" single, followed by their first album "PURE MANIA" which spent five weeks in the UK Top 75, peaking at number 49.
In their long career the VIBRATORS have toured with the likes of IGGY POP, IAN HUNTER, THE FLAMING GROOVIES, DIE TOTEN HOSEN, and have had their songs covered by THE EXPLOITED, UK SUBS, GBH, REM, DIE TOTEN HOSEN, to name but a few. Now in 2010 the band celebrate THIRTY-FOUR YEARS of making records and touring heavily, approaching 120 gigs a year. Get ready for many more years of PURE MANIA!
The Hoods are doing their thing at Graffiti's in Kensington Market (Toronto) on Feb 13, 2010. It will probably look and sound like the video posted above. It's a cozy spot!
2008 was a great year for the Hoods playing at Healey's Roadhouse, Toronto Island, The Cameron House, Mitzy's Sister and few places we can't remember. The shows were always fun and the slides are put to the song Bad Newz Cafe, recorded by our keyboardist Mike Severin and the audio was mastered by George Guerra.
Here's a link to the live 'Bruised' video, shot at Lee's Palace, Toronto (November, 2008).
The Hoods always love to play live shows and look forward to entertaining at clubs, parties and corporate events. To hear more Throbbin Hoods music, go to: http://www.myspace.com/monkeyjuice and to see some videos, go to: www.clicktv.org (The Bacontrees Channel on YouTube).
