Biography
Montreal, Canada (1999 – present)
Hangedup plays battle hymns for shut-ins, tightrope walkers, and urban bicyclists. Hangedup channels dead Roma musicians from Slavic republics Hangedup plays East European folk tunes backwards, skipping every 3rd note. Hangedup writes road songs for model train enthusiasts. Hangedup composes soundtracks for slow-motion automobile accidents. They also use leaded gasoline every chance they get.
Hangedup are unique operators of their chosen instruments, and have mastered a signature sound that is well ahead, and far behind, the times. Heistek’s vertigo-inducing viola runs through hallucinating loopers and warranty-voided amplifiers. Craven’s inimitable sound fuses auto shop discards with home-wiring experiments and fifteen-year-old drum skins. Sometimes soaring, occasionally distressing, Hangedup are the sound of tomorrow, only tomorrow was this morning, just before you left the house. And you left the stove on.
Hangedup has toured extensively in Europe and North America, including performances at All Tomorrow’s Parties in England, the Printemps de Bourges in France, the Domino festival in Belgium.

I don't know wich show you've been on, because they were definitely one of the most intense acts at the CST anniversaries in Vienna.

Honestly, they don't happen to be the most interesting live band.

Man, I've loved Hangedup for years, always a hidden gem among the glittering Constellation roster. I'm really glad to hear they went down so well at ATP.
