Triple Creme
The Band


Triple Creme lives in service of the perfect wall of sound, where textured melodic rock meets rhythmic dark pop and innocent exuberance meets industrial-strength drive. They have been described as a post-punk rock band, combining Radiohead's poetry with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's fury and PJ Harvey's passion and energy. They interweave strong hooks, driving bass, dueling guitars, and pinches of punk and metal. Triple Creme has been featured at major venues across North America.

Murray Hill, “the hardest working middle-aged man in show business,’ is a singing, dancing, schticking throwback to the comedic entertainers of yesteryear. Mr. Hill, who's been known to stop mid-song to commandeer a drink or hit on a lovely lady, has been a Big Apple mainstay attracting top talent, packed houses and bold faced names in the audience from uptown class Ivana Trump to downtown cool Alan Cumming and Michael Musto, to the old school like Joan Rivers and John Waters. He's infamous for the spontaneous fun and party atmosphere of his on-stage antics and his unique brand of interactive humor and irrepressible schtick.
