Be sure to check out The
Hip Abduction this year at Beach Goes Pops:
 "Members
of this tight and energetic Florida based band have laid stakes
all over the world and bring to the party international traditions,
rhythms and instruments" - Tampa Tribune '07.
The Hip Abduction is a culmination of world genres directed
toward high energy live performances and tranquil lyricism.
The theme derives from singer/songwriter David New and his
years spent traveling the Caribbean and South America. Currently
in the U.S. but continues to write with his heart in the islands.
Depending on the venue, up to 8 members can be on stage during
a Hip Abduction event, each following a world, rock, soul,
and reggae theme.
Heavy emphasis is placed on the unique drumming
technique of Pat Hernley who uses a multi-percussion setup
including congas, timbales, hand kick, tabla, dholak, and
cajon. Tight drumming coupled with a strong melodic groove
structure is at the core of each tune. THA draws on the stories
of acoustic driven blues, overlays jazz/funk style instrumental
melodies, and crafts high-energy festival style free improvisation.
Influences include James Brown, Funky Meters, Paul Simon,
Dave Matthews, Ray Charles, Reggae, Jazz & Funk, soul
music, and world. As a whole, The Hip Abduction members have
played and resided in the Caribbean, Micronesia, Ecuador,
India, NYC, DC, and various locations along east coast. For
