Von Hemmling is the solo project of
Jim McIntyre and one of many experimental music projects associated with
The Elephant 6 Recording Company. Though Jim McIntyre is the band's primary performer,
Hilarie Sidney and
John Hill have both been members of Von Hemmling before becoming members of
The Apples in Stereo. Other frequent collaborators include Rich Sandoval, Rob Greene, Dane Terry, Mike Snowden, John Ferguson, Trevor Tremaine and Mike Buckley. Von Hemmling was named by Denver artist
Little Fyodor, in a conversation where Don Henley was mistakenly heard as "Von Hemmling"
