With funk in its heart, Hypnosonics was originally a five piece with Sandman on guitar and organ, Tom Halter and Russ Gershon of the Either\/Orchestra on trumpet and sax, and Mike Rivard, who later founded Club dâ''Elf, on bass. After Morphine took off, Dana Colley joined Hypnosonics, Hilt added hi-hat cymbals to his kit, and the horn section started singing. In 1996, the same year that Morphine recorded Like Swimming at the legendary Cambridge, MA studio Fort Apache, Hypnosonics visited the Fort to play a live-in-the-studio radio broadcast on beloved local rock station WFNX.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Harmonic","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50475065540939,"sku":"1117561","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50475066065227,"sku":"1117560","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7077cbab-36fd-441e-a619-5b63688e1d6f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727441998"},{"product_id":"someone-stole-my-shoes-beyond-the-q-division-sessions","title":"Someone Stole My Shoes: Beyond The Q Division Sessions","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1986, while Mark Sandman was still touring with his first major label band, Treat Her Right, and before he convened the now-mythical Morphine, he assembled what is often referred to as his â''secret band.â'' Hypnosonics remained a favorite side project, and performed for the last time two weeks before Sandmanâ''s death in 1999.
