Bio
Blues fusion for the soul. The Hot Mountain Dips stay true to the classic San Francisco music scene with original free-form funkified bluesy grooves similar to the improvisation-heavy bands of the 60's and 70's. Their originals have taken the bay-area by storm, blossoming from this particular union of friends and talent that dips deep down into that greasy loud rock n roll of generations past. Constantly striving to be atypical, the dips feature a lead vocalist on drums with ripping slide guitar and bass lines dipping through extended periods of improvisation. Our debut album is on its way with special guest Pete Grant (Grateful Dead, New Riders of the Purple Sage) and engineered by Oz Fritz (Oysterhead, Tom Waits, Primus, Les Claypool, Ramones, Iggy Pop).
The dips played some very memorable shows recently with the likes of David Nelson (New Riders of Purple Sage/Jerry Garcia), Pete Grant, John Kadlecik (Furthur/DSO), Zach Nugent/Jacklyn LaBranch/Cheryl Rucker (JGB), Jason Hann (String Cheese Incident), Barry Sless (Kingfish/Green Leaf Rustlers/Phil n Friends), Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship/Hot Tuna/Quicksilver Messenger Service), Jay Lane (Primus/Ratdog/Wolf Bros), John Paul McLean and Dave Hebert (of Melvin Seals and JGB), Mike Clark (Herbie Hancock & the Headhunters) and last but not least Mad Alchemy Liquid Lite Projections. We've also dipped down on the famed stages of Great American Music Hall, The Chapel, Sweetwater Music Hall, Slims, North Beach Festival, Ocean Beach Festival, Telegraph Ave Festival, Hopmonk Sebastopol, Lost Sierra Hoedown Festival, Just Exactly Perfect Festival, Aint Necessarily Dead Festival, June Lake Jam Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, SF’s Jerry Day, Love in the Dream Festival and Descend on Lost Sierra Festival.
As the most dipicated dippers and dipheads say, never miss a dipset! So spread these dips to those in need, get ready for some true SF-born unhinged improvisation, and come GET YOUR DIPS -> hotmountaindips.com
