KPC NEWS!!
It's true, we've been messin you up your whole head, teasing you with news of THE SHOW. Yeah it's gonna be otherworldly...but that's gonna be September 3rd. So while HYPNOTIC is getting its chops together in NYC, their father Bro. Kelan Phil Cohran is having a little warm-up of his own this weekend in the Chi.
On Sunday KPC will be honored as a Jazz Warrior (!) at Jazz In The Alley 2007 in Dunbar Park (behind Dunbar HS, 29th & Calumet Av...one street west of King Drive)...and looking at the schedule below it seems he's also gonna be doing a bit of presenting in the evening. Oh sure there's also a natural haircare Q&A and a headwrap workshop...but given the growing audiences at his spellbinding performances this year, you know the real roots work is going down at 6:15pm. Someone EMAIL US and put us up on the mental expansion!

COLLECTED PIECES OF WORK
HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE at Lions Den, NYC August 2007.
WOAH...This dude Djouls in Paris has compiled a complete HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE discography over at his his aptly-titled Music You Don't Hear On The Radio. Even if you're living with the music daily it still sort of brings a tear to the eye to see it all lovingly laid out in livingcolor HTML with the proper attention to detail, fact-checking and artwork/design.
On the flipside it also brings in to focus just how focused this band is: three CDs, two 10in singles and a couple wild cards thrown in for good measure...and if you know us like we know us, you know we're just getting started. Anyways, bookmark this in your browser!

...AND WE'RE BACK
Home runs: the Baji twins...and Jackie Robinson, Harlem USA, August 2007.
HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE roared back into NYC last night with its full sound: four trumpets, two trombones, one baritone, one sousaphone, a drummer and that South Side Chitown swagger that made a tough city like NY open up and accept the Bros as nine of their own. HYPNOTIC will represent Chicago greatness to the dirt but it's always a pleasure to play for our people wherever they may be in the world. Last night the nation came out to see us at Jackie Robinson Park in Harlem...Friday night we hope they'll be out at the Lions Den at 214 Sullivan Street downtown.
Props to headliner Leela James who ripped it...see you in Chicago! And thanks to Erika, Michelline and Simone at City Parks Foundation for the look. Let's do it again next year!

POST SCRIPT: NIAGARA FALLS
He actually said "wow": Hudah at Niagara Falls, Canada July 2007.
The HYPNOTIC BRASS BOOSTER award goes to Aina London, she drove to Toronto by herself to watch HYPNOTIC play. Then she and LT drove back to the Chi together as Hudah, the Baji twins and Equinox drove back to NYC. We met up briefly at the border—the Falls, you can see the bridge to the USA in the background—an epic sight at the end of an epic journey.
