In addition to writing video game music, Lilly sings and Alex plays guitar in the San Francisco indie rock band “Hey Young Believer.” To the right you can listen to our music and download it for free. Below is a link to the music video for one of our songs.

HYB adds drummer

Nick — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:49:35 +0000

HYB has added drummer Brian Driscoll to the band. “There’s no drummer controversy here” stated guitarist and songwriter Alex Neuhausen. “We truly believe that [Nick and Brian] can enhance the material and co-exist within the scheme of the music.” Driscoll (pictured far right) will mostly play supporting percussion parts around the backbeat, which will continue to be played by drummer, Nick Shilling.

More on Driscoll:
Resides: In the Haight
Drums: Lefty
Other projects: Gamalan X
