Details:
Hide From Cleo. Original, Intelligent, sometimes experimental, music from the northern climes of the USA. One of Michigan’s hottest bands. In the short time that they have been together, since November 2004, Hide from Cleo have been drawing on their extensive song writing and performing backgrounds to produce music that ranges from Hard Rock to R&B, crossover folk, country and blues. Members of the band have shared the stage with Kid Rock, played the House of Blues in Las Vegas and have been a big part of the Michigan Music scene for years. Think about what would happen if Janis Joplin, Jewell, Tom Waits and Joe Cocker joined the Counting Crows... That''s Hide From Cleo. Sort of...
The bands accomplishments so far are numerous. In July of 2005 Hide From Cleo was chosen, over all other entrants, by WQLB FM 103.3 (BROCK) to share the stage with GRINDER a band that featured local sports hero and Detroit Red Wing Darren McCarty. The show was held at the 1500 seat Northern Lights Arena in Alpena, Michigan. The band was chosen because of its well-known "local draw potential" and great live show.
The band has been lucky enough to be chosen to perform at numerous festivals and showcases. In February 2006 the band was chosen to showcase for the ALLBIZ Music Conference. The conference hosted in Columbus, Ohio featured bands from all over the country and provided great networking opportunities that the band has taken advantage of. Also the band was able to perform for A&R representatives from Virgin, Atlantic and Koch records.
Then in what began in November 2005, H.F.C. started taking the three-hour trip down to Detroit from their "up north" town of Tawas City, Michigan for the Emergenza Music Festival. There they competed against Detroit’s hottest local bands, and ended up one of the top ten bands and in the Detroit Finals. (Held at the Majestic Theater in Detroit, Michigan July 3rd 2006) Out of the over one hundred and twenty bands - even though they were not a local Detroit band, and part of the judging was based on the audience. Most of the time scoring significantly more votes than any of the other bands over the four rounds of the festival. (Which is a testament to the energy of their live show)
In the following weeks after The Emergenza Music Festival Hide From Cleo entered a competition in the Bay City, Michigan area. Held over consecutive weekends at the Perry Grand Arlington Ballroom in down town Bay City, the contest consisted of six total rounds, approximately 42 bands participated in the competition. The judging was based on audience participation and by a panel of judges that scored them on things like originality, musical ability, stage presence, professionalism and crowd response. Hide From Cleo came out on top. Further proving that the Emergenza Music Festival top ten finish was no fluke and that the band is a definite musical force in the Michigan area.
The band has been gaining some notoriety with the local press and television in the towns where they play – In Grand Rapids, Michigan they were featured in the one hour live concert/interview show “No Cover TV” giving the local area a good dose of their brand of music. (And learning the television ropes at the same time) The papers love them also in July 2006 the band made the front page of the Bay City Times entertainment section with a full spread feature on the band and an interview. The band is also constantly being mentioned in the local papers throughout the Michigan area wherever they play.
The band is also happy to announce that they are going to be in the movies. Tracks from Hide From Cleo’s album entitled “Alabaster” have been selected for the sound track for an upcoming independent film “Automatic Gratuity” which is currently in production. The film should debut this fall. For move information check Corporate Slave Productions website https://www.tradebit.com the film will feature an appearance by the band.
Although the band is a strident advocate of recording and playing live, letting the people hear how it really is, it is interesting to note that their first attempt at a studio demo version, "You made love a lie" reached the top ten at https://www.tradebit.com for three weeks straight in the months of December and January 2005. Hide From Cleo are currently receiving regular airplay on Northeastern Michigan’s'' WKJC 104.7 FM and WQLB 103.3 FM these stations cover most of northeastern and central Michigan. These stations have proven to be strident advocates of the bands music. (For which the band is eternally grateful) The band has also been featured on WKJC''s "CWJunction" a one-hour show that features new music from around the entire Northeastern Michigan listening area. (This interview is available for download on Hide From Cleo''s music page - https://www.tradebit.com) The website also contains numerous rough clips of Hide From Cleo live. And clips taken from all their CD releases.
The bands live shows are dynamic, like a romantic candle light date with nothing to drink but Jagermeister. Everything starts out all calm, warm, and fuzzy, but by the end of the evening someone is always swinging around from the chandelier naked... (Hide from Cleo are an official "Jagerband" and are proud of the working relationship they maintain) Hide from Cleo’s music offers something for everybody… With Live shows just as well suited to coffee houses as rock and roll bars. This music is throwing hay bales on a hot summer day, drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon with your Uncles and listening to Nazareth "Hair of the dog". This music is Skinny Dipping in cool water that same night listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. This is Rock and Roll music about Country things or Country music about Rock & Roll things... Listen to it... You can decide...This is versatile music, for music lovers.
