any time you have a chance to go see Greg Cartwright play music you go see Greg Cartwright play music simple as
The Hypos are a fun band led Greg Cartwright and Scott McMicken. last time i saw them was at The EARL, but last night i saw them at Gene’s Gene’s is a lovely place to see a show, btw. here’s hoping they do more of this kinda thing soon in closing, Greg Cartwright is amazing, the Dr. Dog guy is pretty cool, and the other musicians were also very good
