====== Hot Pink Turtle ======

Funk Metal\\
Kansas City, Missouri, USA

Hot Pink Turtle was born on December 13, 1989. Bil Brown of [[Dig Hay Zoose]] also participated in the initial forming of HPT. They played the Kansas City music scene for a couple years, got some label attention, recorded one national release, toured for 18 months or so, then - kind of fell apart about the same time that their label went bankrupt. HPT recorded songs for three national releases: 1992, //The REX Music Sampler//; 1993, //Ticklewigglejigglepickle//; and 1994, //I Predict A Clone (A Steve Taylor Tribute)//. In addition, they recorded seven unreleased songs for what would have been their second studio album, //Horsechild//. The guys are all alive and well, in Missouri and Tennessee, living life, and continuing to rock - each in their own way.

Dion Tyler formed a band called [[Dev Null]] with Dave Anderson of [[Dig Hay Zoose]] in 1997.
