The HYN band was formed in 2000 during the filming of our first feature film, the cross country documentary "How's Your News? - Voyage Across America". We got together in a living room to write some songs for the soundtrack and ended up recording a whole album.
We are a band of people with various disabilities. We promise you have never heard music quite like this!
The band has played shows all over the world - Austin, TX, Los Angeles, San. Fran, New York, Toronto, Montreal, Amsterdam, Boston, etc. We have played shows with State Radio, David Byrne, and The Polyphonic Spree.
How's Your News? is probably best known for it's films which have appeared at festivals worldwide and been broadcast on HBO/Cinemax, PBS, Trio, Channel Four England, and Showcase/IFC in Canada. Our first DVD, "How's Your News? - Voyage Across America" is out with Shout Factory and can be found at video stores, Amazon, or Netflix.
People sometimes ask us: Is this a joke?
Our Answer is "No!" HYN is often funny, and we like it that way, but we are very serious and proud of what we've done. We know the difference between laughing "at" and laughing "with".
Elias' son Manuel was stabbed in the brain with a knife over a bag of sugar a few months back and I imagine most of the money raised will go towards his rehabilitation.
It doesn't seem like all that much cash, but realize that it takes roughly $200,000 ZIM dollars to equal ONE US DOLLAR.
If we can get 100 people to come over, we'll have raised $100,000 ZIM DOLLARS!
Our money goes much further because we are the White Devil.
THANKS AGAIN for adding us AND if the mood strikes you - FEEL FREE TO REPOST THIS AS A BULLETIN - YOU'LL BE HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED AND THAT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD!
Keep your eyes peeled for "Patrick and Molly and all the Small Things!" COMING LATE JULY!!!
