Ariel is currently playing bass in a band called FOREIGN BORN. He has also produced a bunch of albums including ARMOR FOR SLEEP, HANKSHAW, PLAIN WHITE TEES, a TAKING BACK SUNDAY song, FOREIGN BORN'S future release, and an E.P. by DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - a band consisting of James and Louis, both former HIPPOS themselves.

Along with starting and playing in DIRTY LITTLE SECRET, James and Louis also spend most of their time producing music. One of the bands they've worked with, GIANT DRAG, is close to finishing their new record and it should be released sometime in 2005.

Danny took a stint at managing the young and talented band NATHANIEL'S ENDEAVORS. They released a full-legnth album (produced by James and Louis) and toured pretty consistently throughout 2005. Although Nathaniel's Endeavors decided to call it quits, Dannyis still involved in artist management and development and is working with the bands THE EARLY NOVEMBER and HELLOGOODBYE.

Rich started a band called SOUTH BASE. The lead singer/songwriter and his crew are rocking out all over so make sure to check em out.

All of these bands are pretty awesome and should make some noise so make sure to check out the websites/myspace pages:

Thanks again for everything and we hope you enjoy the new lives we've made for ourselves...We certainly do!!

Forever yours,
The Hippos
