History
In the rock music industry, everyone seems so concerned with indie “cred,” posturing as struggling, tortured souls, all the while desperately trying to get their melancholy, acoustic guitar compositions onto the soundtrack of the sequel to Juno. What happened to bands that enjoy making fun music, that aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves, that simply kick out the jams because there are jams begging to be kicked?
Hey Mister is what happened. If John Lennon and Jamiroquai had a baby with Duran Duran as babysitters … well, you still wouldn’t have Hey Mister, but you would have a messed-up kid. Still, this Las Vegas-based quartet comes on strong with killer hooks, irresistible rhythms and sing-along melodies the likes of which are rarely seen rising from the dustbowl of the Vegas Valley.
