Ha Ha Tonka Live!
Where: Beat Kitchen
Date: 2007-09-11 20:00:00
Type:
Ha Ha Tonka's lyrics replicate the paradox that exists in the Midwestern Bible Belt that they know so well, where the realities of meth use, strip clubs, socio-economic hardship, and backwoods prejudices meet the literal interpretations of biblical story-tellers. This Ozark milieu creates some contradictory notions, but also some of the most poignant folk and gospel musical traditions in the nation's history. The bands first single from the album, St. Nick on the Fourth in a Fervor, is the most representative of the bands sound, combining harmonies and biting guitar riffs with lyrics that delve into issues of nationalism, religious allegiances, and rites of passage. A lyric from the song captures the experience of this album precisely: this glimpse of brilliance is much better than your long look at mediocrity. Bloodshot Records is pleased to announce the signing of Ha Ha Tonka. Coming straight out of Springfield, MO., the artists previously known as Amsterband specialize in disarming and effortless anthems that owe as much to high and lonesome Ozarks mountain music as chugging college rock. Bloodshot will release the band's debut, Buckle in the Bible Belt, in fall 2007. Hear St. Nick and other songs here: www.myspace.com/hahatonkaEvent submitted by Eventful.com on behalf of BSHQ.

Ladyhawk
Where: Schubas
Date: 2008-05-01 21:00:00
Type:
With a full length and 12" under their belt, Ladyhawk took up residence in an abandoned farm house behind the shopping mall in the band's childhood hometown of Kelowna, British Columbia, armed only with recording gear, sangria and a piss pot. Two weeks later "Shots" was born. It is an album filled with the cold creaking and ghostly echoes of the old house in the dead of winter. Like a party for the last house standing in a sea of strip malls and condos, surely near the end of its time. "Shots" is the sound of Ladyhawk getting loose, turning up loud, downing a few more and howling at the moon. It evokes the devilish sounds of Goats Head Soup guitars, the honey-slides and howling of Neil Young in his darkest hours, and the phantoms that haunted Roky Erickson at the Holiday Inn. Experts at bottling the misty mountain ghostly blues offered on their self titled debut, it should be clear, this is not classic rock; this is not southern rock. "Shots" is a step forward toward someplace your compass doesn't point. Age 18 and over only. Tickets are $10.
