Bio: We met in 2005 when American Co-author/singer Lisa called Italian Co-author/Piano Keys Marco on the advice of a friend to deepen her understanding of the piano.

“ "The band put their heads together and they came up with their first single “Feel no Pain”, pure soul-rock with a vague touch of Joan Armatrading’s style and that is exactly where the band intends to venture: a mix of soul, funk and soft jazz, that automatically reminds us of the ‘Cool Generation’ of the 80’s, to Working Week and Sade….especially in tracks like the refined,mellow jazz-ballad “Open Letter". " "La band si mette al lavoro, e dopo poche settimane nasce il primo brano «Feel no pain», un pezzo soul-rock vagamente alla Joan Armatrading che definisce uno dei paletti dello stile nel quale la band intende muoversi: una miscela di soul, funk e soft-jazz, incorniciata in un contesto che non può non rimandare la memoria alle movenze della «cool generation» anni '80 di Working Week e Sade, specie in brani come la dolce e raffinata jazz-ballad «Open letter». "”

— Claudio Andrizzi , Bresciaoggi.it

“These folks are putting out a world class show. Period. End of story. She’s got that thing from which it’s very hard to look away – whatever that is. Charming, fully engaged, giving everything and a little more. When I worked with Bo Diddley, he had it. 15 seconds on stage and the crowd is glued to his every move, his every nuance. Chuck Berry’s** got it, yep – we all know that. Lisa, though certainly not playing early rock, has got it.”

— Brook Scofield, magicbrook.com

“Possiamo dire che la vostra musica nasce un po’ come in una bottega artigianale? Si, con il cartello “Torno Subito” appeso fuori. ”

— Andrea Turetta, BABYLONBUS

"The skills of the four musicians is recognizable at the first listen they know how to produce an energetic dynamic sound that is sweet as well with retro tones. " "Lisa's voice is strong and hot taking you to another dimension , one of peace." "La bravura dei quattro musicisti si riconosce al primo ascolto: sanno miscelare un sound energico, dinamico, ma anche dolce, dalle tonalità retrò. I brani risultano orecchiabili e coinvolgenti; i testi solari e positivi – ci parlano di pace, amore, ambiente-, riportano davvero ad un’atmosfera un po’ hippie. La voce di Lisa è potente e calda e, aiutata dalle note del piano come nel brano “Open letter”, ci trasporta in una dimensione di pace. Un disco da ascoltare per sprofondare nel relax completo."

— Lara dal Monte, Gufetto

"Three expert Italian musicians and an American singer/songwriter. They are Hippie Tendencies.." "Tre esperti musicisti italiani ed una cantante (e co-autrice) americana. Sono gli Hippie Tendencies.."

— Rockol
