Recent Escapades and Brushes with Fame Jan 2004
The past few weeks have been big thumbs up for the band. We have begun our residency at the Bowery Poetry Club and our Jan 2nd show included rousing poetry from the band along with Dirty Puppet and a surprise reading from Taylor Mead. We made an appearance at the Polar Bear event on New Year's Day at Coney Island, which was one of the best New Year's Day's that any of us can remember. We had 4 sacrificial lambs to offer the Atlantic Ocean from our ranks that included Albert, Ruth, Robin and Ethan. On New Year's Eve we performed a surprise parade for the folks of Brooklyn beginning at 9pm at Mug's Ale House and proceeding through the streets, we were joined by our Pleasure Society and several bear. Yes, bears! We then went over to ring in the New Year with 3 countdowns and Auld Lang Syn at the Lost City Party. We stayed up all night and then had a group breakfast burrito buffet at Tara's house in the early AM hours to fortify ourselves with the chef duties falling on our trombonist Mr. Myers, before heading out to join the Polar Bears on the Beach.

For the fifth year or sixth year in a row we played for the New York Marathon Runners on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg Brooklyn. This year, we were quite unexpectedly approached by a member of the NYPD, who tried to prevent us from playing! Lucky for us, a champion lawyer for the ACLU, who just happened to be in the crowd as a guest of our friend Phil was there to defend us. Our Civil Liberties were upheld and we were able to play our hearts out for the runners and you know how they love us! We play the same song for 3 hours and oh boy do they love that!

HMB Flag Missing
Our flag was stolen at the Mermaid Day Parade at Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY in June of 2002. Maybe it was an accident but it's time to do the right thing and return our flag. Help us catch the thief. This was original artwork created by one of our members. This flag is very dear to us and we want our flag back. Any info leading to the return of our flag will be rewarded handsomely with an HMB CD and a T-shirt. Thank you for your support. Let us know if you can identify this character... Flag Thief?
HMB is the champion trophy winner of Coney Islands Mermaid Parade for 5 years and 1 year we didn't win due to a fluke. Please check out the link above for a write up of the 1999 mermaid parade.
