   About The Hi-Speeds

Three drummers and three bassplayers in three years is too much! So this fall, when psych-punk-blues-rockin' powerhouse The Last Time's bassplayer Jack migrated to North Carolina, and founding guitarist Ryan Moore decided to move to Atlanta to "straighten out his life and stop doing all the bad things he does in Pittsburgh", it was time for drummer extraordinaire Troy Cramer and guitarist Trym"Harpo"Killi to take a minute and figure out whether to keep sloggin on, or to just, well, pack it in. It only took a second for Trym and Troy to quit their other projects, commit fulltime to their band and recruit the magnificent Martin Kantorzyk III on bass guitar. Renaming themselves The Hi-Speeds, the boys are back as a threepiece, and they're stronger, leaner and hungrier than ever. Having had the opportunity to check these guys out before their "official" debut, I can safely say they'r the loudest, rowdiest three-piece I've ever heard. Also, the new lineup seems to allow the songs to come across a little more focused than before, which they should, cuz they're fuckin' great! Check 'em out for yo'self, they'll make the tip of your boots curl!!

“The brainy, bold music-and-performance ensemble is once again daring to go where no performance art has gone before”
- Washington Post

“a roman candle, one that happens to come with a rhythm section.”
- City Paper

“The Biggest, Baddest, Boldest Squonk Opera Yet”
- Pop City

“an American, terrestrial and perhaps galaxy original...a unique mix of geek and polish, eccentric design and mocking wit”
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“hybridizer of art rock and performance, and expert at blending surrealism, high camp and careful craft for the masses”
- City Paper

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Astro-rama has just been chosen as one of three finalists for the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council's Work of Art Awards

What people have been whispering about is TRUE!
Strange sightings… Unexplained phenomena. . . scientific anomalies…
Squonk Opera will be responding to the cover-ups with…
ASTRO - RAMA!

With 3 stories of scaffolding and a 40 ft radio telescope,
Squonk Opera will take you on a wild visual and musical celebration of the universe and our place in it.

Part symphony, part cacophony, Astro-Rama dares to go where no
multi-media/theater/performance group has gone before.

Rising in scissor lift platforms and cherry pickers, Squonk will compose a proud message from our species,
power up and transmit.

Stand with us, and the truth will be revealed.

Pittsburgh, PA
at Schenley Plaza, Oakland
October 15-18, 2008

Weather permitting, all broadcasts begin at 8:00 p.m.,
are outdoors and are FREE for all bipedal primates!
