"HYDE" was formed by Brad Warning and co-founder Randy Gantner in October of 2008. Brad had been a national touring guitarist, guitar instructor and professional performer for over twenty years and had been working with Randy for much of that time. Eventually, Brad and Randy got tired of having to deal with problematic musicians and their ideas of what it meant to be in a successful band. So after years of performing together, they decided to take control of the situation and form a new, professional, different kind of Hard Rock band, "HYDE".
Now, Brad and Randy have found the ultimate in dedicated, talented, seasoned musicians.
The drama and passion in their performance is amazing.
It exudes to the crowd, captivating them.
HYDE has been changing the face of live Rock & Roll in Northern Wisconsin, always leaving their fans in awe and making new fans at every show.
What makes HYDE different from your average, run of the mill bar band is a combination of things.
HYDE strives to make every performance seem like a concert arena experience.(No matter on the size of the venue.)
"We want to be Wisconsin's next big contribution to Rock & Roll."
Brad has been to the big show, opened for many famous artists and has tasted success. He learned a lot from being on the road and traveling this great country of ours. With over 5,550 professional gigs under his belt, he swears by this:
"Fans may be diverse in many ways...but they still want one thing......to be entertained, a lot!"
HYDE is self-contained and has thousands upon thousands of dollars invested in their personal gear and P.A. and light show.
The boys are now officially sponsored by BUDWEISER, have a new album in the works, have attained the services of a great promoter/agent and are ready to "Change the Face" of Rock & Roll in Wisconsin.
(And that's just the start.)
These guys have no problem giving you their blood, sweat and tears, nightly.

ick here to add text.
Randy Gantner:
I was born in Appleton,WI……… I moved to Colorado Springs where I was introduced to music at the age of 15.
I took a few lessons and began defining my musical personality. I then moved to Wausau, WI, where I met with local musicians and started playing with all sorts of different bands. In the early 90’s, I started playing with Brad Warning (on guitar) in Savoir Faire. That gig lasted several years, but eventually disbanded. After a 5 year stint with Storm, I revived Savoir Faire with Brad again. Several more years of that led to a weekly open mike situation that brought musicians to us, and we formed a nucleus that has turned into what we are now known as………..HYDE.
Ezequiel Ysquierdo:
Born in Tulare California , at age 8-9 was givin a bass and amp from my dad and started on my music quest . Trinidad ( pops ) was a latin musician and played all the mid-west areas . His band members showed me some bass and drum skills , and the rest is what it is today . I have to give my dad the credit for starting me at such a young age . I've been living in the ( Wis ) central area for quite some time , and have played for some good band's in the erea , Hyde is the X-plosion I've been waiting for , we will prepare for battle and take over each town we play !
Robert Vogel:
Born and raised in Langlade Couty, W.I. I grew up singing
as far back as I can remember. I was in choir until
I was 18. Then bands became life. Played in several, but only one stands out, Luntic Zoo, in which I made
my first album. My influences; Led Zeppelin, Rush, Queensryche,
Iron Maiden and Scorpions. Today, I have a whole new outlook
on bands, cause this one kicks ass!
Chris Gallegos:
I was born in Fort Worth, Tx. In early years, grew up in Saginaw, Michgan.
At the age of ten, moved to Wichita Falls Texas where I lived for about 15
years. Began playing at the age of 18 and my first experience was actually
with a Tejano band called La Herencia Chicana (later became known as Estilo
Tejano). Played wtih a few bands after, but nothing really solidified.
Influences include Dream Theater, RUSH, Fates Warning, Bach, Power of Omens.
As a musician, would like to totally take Wisconsin by storm.
