Holy Cow!! Jeff, I am amazed! I am so glad to see the band because I wasn't seperating the 2 guitar players in my brain. Both so talented! Great band. I love an animated Bass player. I haven't done 1/2 of what I planned over the last few days because I'm an addict!! What went wrong? Why did they end? Anyway, Thanks so much, Cathy Shred..You ALWAYS make me smile!!! PS Jeff, LOVE the Superman avatar!!!
The Hoax broke up in part due to lack of success. The couldn't make enough money to keep it going. I think Jon Amor also wanted to branch out with his music. He has released several CD's and found his own sound. His CDs are great but sound nothing like The Hoax. My favorite Hoax song is "Don't Shake My Hand" done LIVE!! Hugh's vocals with Jon and Jesse's outstanding solos make that song a classic. You can sure tell it's the Hoax tribute to SRV's Tin Pan Alley.
It's a shame more people didn't hear The Hoax when they were still together. I would have loved to have seen them live. Very few bands can match The Hoax for live preformances. They energy and sound live is simply amazing.

HF. 'DSMH" Live is my favorite too! 2 different guitar players each with a killer solo!! I'd put out effort to make it to a reunion show!!! Some bands are like that, they are best as a "soup" instead of seperate ingrediences. The problem is they were ahead of their times! They would kick butt at today's blues festivals!! Cathy
PS Jeff, LOVE the Superman avatar!!!
Glad you liked the videos. Knew you would. (Thanks David I for the duplicates) The Superman reference came from a writer in our local paper after Joe played last week. His best line is my sig. The avater I stole (borrowed) from someone else here on the board.
Hey Jeff, I know! Read the review. It was a great analogy! I don't know how to do any tricks, but I think it's cool! It was Photo-Gal I believe.......Cathy
Nope, it was me, but it's ok. 
Mary, You are SO clever! I thought Jane had a superman guitar on her's until I put on my glasses! LOL Cathy
I thought it was a Superman guitar too. What is it?
Thanks Mary. After the Pittsburgh show and the write up I had to use it.
It's ok.
Just discovered the Hoax on youtube. Heard about them alot but hadn't tried to search for anything.
WOW I am completely blown away. Does anyone know where you can buy any of their CD's? I really want to get Live Forever, I've searched iTunes to no avail. I live in Australia so it won't be in any shops here but I'm happy to buy online if someone can point me to somewhere where its available.
Thanks guys

Jess, I'm with ya on this!!! I'm still upset that they ended before I ever heard of them. The best shot at getting a copy of Live is to e-mail our friend Pittsburg Jeff. Occ. items do come up for sale on e-bay, but I've not seen Live. I've asked for copies of other Hoax CD's from another forum friend in Europe. Thank God for forum friends. Cathy

Cathy, go to Amazon they have Forever Live in stock for $18.99 as I post this. I got my copy a few months ago and I think they were out for awhile, but it's back in stock now.

Ok I ordered Live Forever from grooveyard, thansk for the heads up. Now I really want to get hold of Humdinger. Does anyone know where I could buy that online? It doesn't seem to be instock anywhere..... 
I can't find Humdinger any where either. We are at the mercy of our friends here for a copy. I was able to get Live from Amazon (Thanks Jeff) I'm saying we need to begin a campaign for a reunion!!!!!! Cathy
I can copy Humdinger if anyone want's it!
I'd be really grateful if any of you could copy Hoax material for me. They're my biggest influence (following Joe 
) and I'm really trying to collect their material. I would really appreciate a copy of Humdinger!
