Details:
In 1999 a producer, computer programmer, engineer and IT guru came together with a vision of creating a fun, high energy, high quality all vocal group that could entertain to the masses. Paul, Mayank, George and Jon met in November of 1999 and within a few months realized that this project was an amazing outlet for expression and release. After many failed name attempts such as "Comfy Monkey" and "Thump Truck" the group settled on name "Hookslide" and began it's quest for Bay Area fame and fortune.

Hookslide began with a few small shows, but quickly moved into bigger venues such as national anthem appearances for the San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's. They were seen on Bay Area TV in the first 6 months of existence and played their first paid show to a packed wedding.

Starting with a run down rehearsal space and a pieced together sound system the group put together a cover set, but quickly moved into original writing. As the performances came and the funds were made available, the group added a high end sound system and a wonderful rehearsal space to their team. The CD, Original Spin, soon followed in 2002 and was released with much acclaim. It won a national award for Best Cover Song and has sold thousands of copies since its summer release.

Original Spin opened a number of doors for Hookslide including trips to Alaska, Boston, major U.S. tours and opening slots for groups like Kool and the Gang, Tower of Power, Rockapella and the Village People.

Hookslide has been able to maintain an amazing balance within their personal, performance and professional lives. That producer, programmer, enginner and IT guru have been promoted many times over in the last five years, but have been able to continue to invest time in the Arts and their passion of singing. In 2006, Hookslide will release their 2nd CD, travel to Nashville, Washington D.C. and perform for thousands of kids in featured appearances in schools and the America Sings festivals nationwide.

As the trend continues you can expect international touring and much more fun, high energy, high quality all vocal music from Hookslide.
