THE HiP MACHINE (formerly Man Machine Poem) brings the music of Canada's favorite band the way it should be heard - LIVE!

Darryl Aspin of Hitcher fame, made his mark captivating audiences in the Durham Region with his strong vocal ability and high energy performance. The strongest lead singer of any HiP tribute, and one of the best in Southern Ontario. Behind Darryl is a band of talented musicians including dedicated guitarist Mike Rewegen, life-long drummer Seth McNamara and talented bassist and fire fighter Stephen Reid. Last but not least on lead guitar, we have Mike Marinuk - after 6 years as a founding member of another Ontario HiP tribute, and in search of a band worthy of the task he now showcases his abilities as our 'Robbie'. Performing leads identical to the albums and even from live HiP releases, the guitar driven sound and style of the Tragically Hip is a key element of The HiP Machine! The first to bring video to the HiP tribute stage, Mike along with THM continue to strive for more at every show. Giving audiences something they cannot get anywhere else.

Believe the hype or come see for yourself. Tragically HiP fans agree. Relive those memories of seeing the band live and join the show, a Tragically Hip Show!
