The Hipstones are an Australian/American seven-piece soul, jazz and funk musical group that formed in 2006. Their music is unique in the sense that it fuses traditional soul-like song structures with elements of electronic music (notably vocoders and synthesizers), and vocal harmonies. The band consistes of two permanent members, Mark Palmer and Anthea White, with a rotating ensemble of other jazz and soul musicians based in both Sydney and New York. Mark Palmer is also a member of New York band Wheatus, best known for their 2000 single "Teenage Dirtbag" which was featured in the movie ''Loser'', as well as in the HBO miniseries ''Generation Kill''. ==History== The band was formed in 2006, by Mark Palmer and Anthea White, during a six month contract gig at the Tokyo Hilton in Shinjuku, Japan. The couple then moved to Sydney, Australia where they formed a 10 piece band and began recording their first album, ''Something's Gonna Start.'' Prior to the release of their second album, the band moved to Brooklyn, New York to both develop their musical style and take advantage of the city's vibrant original music scene.〔 The album, Dreamers, was released in 2009. The band is now permanently based in New York City. The Hipstones' third album ''Wise Man'' was funded by the band’s fans through crowd sourcing. The album was produced by Justin Stanley, who has also produced for Nikka Costa, Sheryl Crow, Jamie Liddel and Chaka Chan. It is set to be released in mid-2014.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hipstones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
