The guys on the front porch of Hubinger St.A Brief Biography

In 1888, Nicholas, John, and Joseph Hubinger established their elastic starch empire in the town of New Haven, Connecticut. No one has ever been able to exactly explain what elastic starch is...until now.

More than one hundred years after the empire was established, Matt Miklus moved into a Matt Miklushouse on Hubinger St. which cuts through the land of the former Hubinger estate. It was here that he teamed up with long time friend Casey GormanCasey Gorman, and the two put together an acoustic duo. It wasn't long before they recruited Bob Csugie, creating the foundation for what was to become Hubinger St. The trio primarily concentrated on playing cover tunes and hit the local bar circuit heavily. As with any creative process, the trio began to experiment and incorporate original music into their performance. Along with this growth came the addition of Bob's longtime friend, Greg DeBlasio. Their first show as a four piece was at the Club Car Cafe, a quaint watering hole nestled in the deep woods of Seymour, Connecticut. The cosmic quartet was born.

Bob CsugieA New Haven based band loaded with energy, fun, and improvisational bravado, Hubinger St. performances often include unexpected variations of their originals and unique twisted versions of cover tunes, from the Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead, to Louis Armstrong. Matt Miklus has been know to stun many a fan with his on stage antics and leads the way in educating the populous of the Hubinger history. Bob Greg Deblasio Csugie and Greg Deblasio lay down the solid rhythms and polyrhythms that fuel the bands battery, allowing Casey Gorman to rip through solos with unique style. Individually and collectively, by not being afraid to take risks on stage, these spontaneous bursts of surrealism keep Hubinger St. shows fresh from night to night. One can see sparks fly between band members and their loyal following of Hubinger Freaks. Freaks have been known to dance all night, bang, rattle, and shake various percussive instruments, and generally make every club owner in the northeast shake their head and smile. They are as big a part of the Hubinger St. experience as the band itself is.
