The Hentchmen

Long-time Detroit rockers The Hentchmen performed live on Detroit Today, March 7th 2008. The trio were perhaps the loudest band to ever grace our studio and, yeah, we enjoyed it.

From the band's bio -

"The Detroit OG's, duh? After bagging groceries and sweeping floors at the local grocery store Johnny and Timmy decided to start a band, recruited high school friend Chris, chose some instruments to play and started playing parties in '92. Began playing out and recording soon after. 94-96 toured country in '77 Volare wagon. 1996 Mike replaced Chris on drums. Toured in rusty Ford van from 96-99. Toured in, and wrecked, Vauxhaul wagon for first European tour. Put out countless 45s and Albums, some going for big money on ebay, some not. Played with such acts as Link Wray, ? and the Mysterions, Rocket 455, Happy Supply, The Black Keys and many, many more. Halloween '07 will be 15th anniversary. YIKES."

 

The Hentchmen are:

John Hentch: Farfisa, Vocals
Mike Latulippe (in the middle): Drums, Vocals
Tim Purrier: Guitar, Vocals
