Creativity comes in many forms, and in this instance, it comes in the form of music. The Haus Band™ is an ongoing effort from the creative resources of Ideahaus™.
The Haus Band began performing in our studio during the early 90's, upstairs, above East Carson Street (1992-1996) in the South SIde of Pittsburgh. Drums, guitars, keyboards, samplers, beer bottles - instruments abound - and don't forget the PA system;-) Remnants from earlier DJ efforts, band attempts and personal amusement laid the groundwork for what has become a unique expression of our collective at each gathering.
Although many creatives have come and gone, the current core includes;
- Osman Khan; DJ
- Kevin Popovic; Percussion, Vocals
- Lane Rademacher; Guitar
- Drew Soske; Keyboards, Vocals
- Jim Winfield; Bass
The sessions of the Haus Band are memorable, from location, to roster, to deliverables. Each has been unique (I think this is why people keep coming back-kp). Some of our notable contributors have included;
- Mike Hoban; Harmonica, Vocals
- Don Tucker; Guitar, Vocals
- Myron Woodley; Vocals

Remarkably, each session of Haus Band has been documented. Not for lack of technology (God, no), but more so for the high-spirits and shenanigans that has become part of the ritual.The following is the complete list of the Haus Band Sessions.
