THE HOOTERS Release New Music Videos for Both Sides Live

The videos include a live acoustic duo performance of All You Zombies, Album Trailer, and 22-minute Hohner interview with Rob and Eric.

he Hooters announce the release of three new music videos recorded as companion pieces to Both Sides Live, the recently-released 2-CD set showcasing the bands diverse talents: LIVE and ACOUSTIC.
Three new videos supporting the release of Both Sides Live are now available for viewing online. The videos were produced with the generous assistance of Hohner Musical Instruments. For many years Hohner has been cooperating with professional artists to improve quality and sound and create new products that enable the artist to express their passion for virtuosic music.
The videos include a live acoustic duo performance of All You Zombies, an Electronic Press Kit (EPK), an album trailer, and a 22-minute Hohner interview with Rob and Eric.

Both Sides Live has now been released throughout Europe with European distribution by Neo.
Both Sides Live boasts the dense, musically adventurous sound that has made The Hooters a staple of the east-coast rock scene. The Hooters create a style of music that can withstand the passage of time and maintains its relevancy through the sheer simplicity of superior craftsmanship. In addition to newly penned material, Both Sides Live offers inspired live performances of The Hooters best known songs including break-through tracks, ‘And We Danced’, ‘The Boys of Summer’, ‘All You Zombies’ and ‘I’m Alive.’

“Recording these shows was a labor of love, as they say,” comments Eric Bazilian, “We loved doing both sets, showcasing all of the many layers of the Hooters and really, both experiences were so different. The acoustic set was such an intimate experience with the fans, very emotional and the electric set was just so much fun. I think fans are going to love both CDs played right next to each other!”

“Our friend, violinist Ann Marie Calhoun, came down to play with us and it just added another dimension to what we were trying to accomplish with the shows. The Hooters have always been about great songwriting, great live performances and lots of surprises and Both Sides Live delivers on all fronts.” Adds Rob Hyman.

“…. unlike some artists who think staying relevant means running from what makes you unique, The Hooters weren’t afraid to make use of what they do best.” The NY Daily News

“… with their patented (and oft imitated) mix of town and country flavors, with beautifully finessed song constructions and rootsy, folksy sonic textures (spunky mandolin, swirling keyboards, exploding guitar lines).“ Philadelphia Daily News
