Bio
Blues fusion for the soul. The Hot Mountain Dips stay true to the classic San Francisco music scene providing free-form funkified blues with tasty grooves similar to the improvisation heavy bands of the 60's and 70's. The dips create a show atmosphere where heckling and "Hot Dips!" chants are always recommended. 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 and roll of generations past. Constantly striving to be atypical, the dips feature a lead vocalist on drums, harmonica tones not yet heard before, and ripping guitar and bass lines dipping through extended periods of improvisation.
The dips played some very memorable shows recently in the bay area with the likes of Jason Hann (String Cheese Incident), Scott Pemberton, Stu Allen (Phil & Friends/Mars Hotel), Jay Lane (Primus/Ratdog), John Paul McLean and Dave Hebert (of Melvin Seals and JGB), Mike Clark (Herbie Hancock & the Headhunters), Jordan Feinstein (Jordan & the Ritual/Phil & Friends), and last but not least Mad Alchemy Liquid Lite Projections. We've also dipped down on the famed stages of Great American Music Hall, Sweetwater Music Hall, Slims, North Beach Festival, Lost Sierra Hoedown Festival, Brick and Mortar, Purple Onion, Boom Boom Room, crazy dippified buses to Dead & Co, and of course hot dips camp at High Sierra Music Festival where it all began.
As the most dipicated dippers and dipheads say, never miss the dips! So spread these dips to those in need, get ready for some true SF-born unhinged improvisation, and come GET YOUR DIPS -> hotmountaindips.com
