Play Hooky is a Colorado Springs-based rock-n-roll band that is dedicated to making good music and having a good time. Their music is based on hard-rocking rhythms, singable melodies and meaningful lyrics. The band formed in September of 2002 and continues to pump out new songs.
Play Hooky was formed by some guys who just wanted to jam. It was immediately evident that there was some good chemistry going on, so the guys decided to write some songs together. The 'idea' was to make good music with lyrics that meant something. So, here's how they define good music - guitar, bass, drums and vocals with a heavy edge. Their music is powerful, catchy (hooky, if you will) and singable. You can even dance to it if you feel so inclined. And the bonus? The lyrics. They cover everything from inner conflict and relationships to identifying the stupidity that we are constantly being spoon-fed by the media and entertainment industries. So, Play Hooky's music goes well with white or red wine.
All of the guys in Play Hooky have been around long enough to get over the sex and drugs part of 'sex, drugs and rock-n-roll.' They aren't looking to become rock stars. They are inspired solely by the joy of playing and sharing their music. Of course, a little money thrown into the mix doesn't hurt (wink, wink). However, the boys do not play for beer. Whiskey, maybe, but never just for beer.
