HYIM and House Band Wines Launch 2011
Hard workin' wines to rock your tastebuds!

House Band Wines Feature Story in December 2011 Tasting Panel Magazine
House Band Wines is excited to share our feature story covering our launch event this past October in Tasting Panel magazine’s December 2011 issue. This feature comes right on the heels of our recent blog House Band Wines Media Coverage: Inspired Inspiration showcasing our list of media and blog features since our official launch this fall. We include the first paragraph of the article below to whet your appetite in hope that you’ll be hungry for more and download the complete story. We also include here Tasting Panel’s wine reviews, which are clearly music to our ears!

Tasting Panel Magazine "Launch Pad" Feature, December 2011
“Your typical wine release party might take place in a fancy hotel event space, elegant mansion or atmospheric barrel room. That’s not House Band’s style though. For their coming out party held October 14, they rented Hollywood’s famous SIR Sound Stages (where U2’s Bono was rehearsing just hours before), brought in some indie rockers, cranked up the volume and let the juice flow.”

~ E. C. Gladstone, Tasting Panel

iTunes Review: “Sex In The Morning” CD - HYIM Spreads His Wings by DJ Ken

I expected big things from Hyim after hearing (and seeing) the video for "Elation". The positive vibe that runs through "Elation" permeates the entire album. Hyim doesn't take himself too seriously; the "... enough about me, what do you think of me" line offers ample proof. There's a breezy familiarity to the music... you've heard music like it, but you're not sure where. To me, that's a good thing. Lyrically, the songs are unique; with a song like "Contact", with its talk of texting and constantly being online, the knee-jerk reaction is to assume that Hyim is merely trying to reach a younger demographic. Instead, "Contact" is a lament against the lack of human interaction; it's my favorite track on the album, and it's the song that challenges Hyim vocally. He's up to the challenge.

This is a diverse mix of tunes, what you'd imagine John Lennon might put out after a year of listening to world beat, ska, and smoking a healthy amount of plant life. In a world where every popular song is over-produced and completely computer generated, "Sex In The Morning" provides a welcome alternative.

"Hyim is a formidable talent...a hippie child who grew up hip-hop, his music smoothly assimilates such disparate sources as Jamaican reggae, Cuban son, Brazilian rhythms, brilliant balladry, Mediterranean beats and urban DJ techniques. Spellbinding."
