On “Road Trip Playists” we ask touring bands for a playlist of the songs that have been on the heaviest rotation on their trip so far.
Check out Hank & Cupcakes’ Road Trip Playlist, listen to some of their own music below, and catch them if you can on, Thursday at Great Scott in Boston with Marco Benevento.
Hank & Cupckakes: Our playlist is a compilation of awesome bands we’ve met on the road in different parts of the country…
Sphynx – “Hunger”
– We met these guys in Austin, TX. They’re one of the coolest sounding and looking bands we had the pleasure to play with. Watch-out though, they’ll get you pregnant with a look.
Marco Benevento – "Greenpoint"
– We opened for Marco in Philadelphia, PA. He’s a unique composer and pianist who fills the room with an awesome groovy good vibe.

– We played with Em & The MotherSuperiors in Oklahoma City and were totally enchanted by Em’s incredible voice and performance.
100 Watt Mind – "Out Of Night"
– Just played with these guys at Treefort Festival in Boise ID. It sounded like Janis Joplin with a punk band, in the best way possible way. These guys KILLED IT!
Of Montreal – "Fugitive Air"

Greymarket – "Aurora"
– Played with these guys in Tampa, FL and had a blast watching and listening to their beautiful songs and elegant performance.
