New Orleans-based Hash Cabbage has just released of  a new music video/short film for “Shangri La,”  the single from their upcoming 11 track record. The film tells the story of a stranded musician and his merry band of pranksters as they hitchhike their way through a seeming time warp of adventure into a Neverland from a lost era. The film whimsically captures the zeitgeist of the biker and “vansploitation” low budget Super 8 mm movies that flickered the drive-in theatres of America during the late 1960’s and
1970’s, celebrating the frivolity of youth, innocence, and above all, freedom. The song itself very much reflects and embodies this essence helping lend credence to the narrative so that the listeners can truly believe that they have gone “down the rabbit hole” to the wonderland beyond the  Shangri La.

Founded in 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Hash Cabbage has an eclectic sound with a variety of influences from southern rock, improvisational jazz, reggae, funk, outlaw country all the way to surreal psychedelia. Rooted in both rock improv and traditional singer/songwriter structure, Hash Cabbage proudly admits that it doesn’t fully fall into any particular subgenre and skates on the edges of many.

OffBeat’s Robert Fontenot wrote of the band, “What’s this? Hash what now? Are these guys referring to a hash made out of cabbage or profits made off of selling hash? No matter. These exceedingly mellow jambanders have the atmosphere down pat: a stew of reggae (an option for too few jam bands), smooth soul and funk, and cool jazz.”
