Hangedup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hangedup are an experimental rock group from Montreal, Canada. They are a two-piece band, featuring Genevieve Heistek (Sackville, The Mile End Ladies String Auxiliary, Set Fire to Flames, HṚṢṬA, Land of Kush) on Viola and Eric Craven (Sackville, Shortwave, HṚṢṬA, formerly Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band) on drums and percussion. Their sound can be described as viola put into loops, with lots of percussion (sometimes using selfmade instruments).

They formed in 1999, and were signed to Montréal's independent Constellation Records label, where their other band Sackville was also signed.
