Poorhouse Gorgeous, though not offically a Hexbelt recording, can be described as a "Hexbelt Family Album." The project was a collaboration between Dann Ottemiller and Lancaster based producer/musician Pete Barnhart at Elemental Studies in Lancaster, PA. The album features all of the members of Hexbelt along with contributions by a handful of talented friends, including: Dave SanSoucie, Craig Graham, Loretta Bilieux (Burning Bus), Trixie Greiner (Matrix, Inca Campers, Burning Bus), Chad Kinsey (Highfalootin, Loretta Bilieux, Burning Bus), Charlie Burnett (Highfalootin, the Vinegar Creek Constituency) and Corty Byron, Jr (the Green Onions). foot note: Neal and Pete were also members of the legendary Burning Bus.
The first track on Poorhouse Gorgeous, Nightgown, will be featured on the August 2010 Relix Magazine compilation disc.

HEXBELT:
Ottemiller's stream-of-consciousness lyrics, delivered in a husky drawl and loping, lusty rap, come straight from the soul. The biting philosophical, psychological, political, social and sexual commentary of his songs comes across in cryptically coded messages allowing the listener multiple interpretations. His unique rhythmic approach on guitar fattens up and battens down the band's full sound as well.
Couch's fleet and fluid guitar work epitomizes Hexbelt's unique sound. His versatility to jump from ska-like rhythms to searing leads, blues fills and country picking to moody tonal passages and achingly beautiful slide to dirty funk, while remaining inventive and soulful, is truly amazing.
McGowan keeps it all steady, while using an absurd array of beats from funk to world music and everything in between, while Kreider provides the rock-solid low groove, adapting his style to fit the band's moods.
Neal Kreider, international man of mystery and a damn good wiffleball player.
Hexbelt has the ability to cut across political, social, and economic boundaries to reach the masses. A peer in a crowd at a Hexbelt show would reveal a cross section of society, with baby boomers, neo-hippies, punks, blue collars, yuppies and the like; all jamming together as one. Hexbelt truly is a unique band in an age of increasingly generic modern music.
