Bay-Area based, The Hipwaders have performed across the country and their music has been heard on PBS, Discovery, MTV, Bravo, E!, Superstation, TLC, Style Network, and The Travel Channel.

"The Hipwaders extol the virtues of reading, geometry, and the Dewey Decimal System, but their danceable New Wave-ish pop and lighthearted lyrics keep their messages fun" - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"...brilliantly fun and surprisingly hip songs extolling the touchstones of childlike glee..." - SF BAY TIMES

"...fresh, infectious and insanely danceable...sound(ing) like a cross between the Beatles and Devo" - PARENTMAP.COM
