TheGoodRev Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Here's the link if you don't care about the story: latentrecordings.com/huron Here's the story: I'm in a band called Huron, along with another guy you might know, my pal Adam Melnick (kookycanooky on this board). We've completed our debut record, which will be released on Latent Recordings (Cowboy Junkies' label) in early March next year. In the meantime though, the record is complete and pressed and we've been doing a few unofficial record release parties around Ontario in conjunction with our friend Ian Blurton, who also produced the record. Ian has his own solo record coming out and we're acting as his backing band at these shows - a Huron set, followed by one or two sets from "Ian Blurton's Happy Endings" (depending on time constraints). The shows have become very jammy and I keep saying that you folks on this board would really love what we're doing (in my humblest of opinions). In any event, our label is streaming the entire record on their site now and I thought maybe some of you might like to hear it. If you like it, we'd love for you to pick one up when we come through your town; either that or you can purchase it online right there on the site (iTunes coming with official release in March); or if you prefer vinyl, it's on the way and we should have it early next year. Here are our upcoming dates with Ian: Wed Nov 25 Dakota Tavern, Toronto Wed Dec 2 Red Dog, Peterborough Thu Dec 3 Green Room, Montreal Fri Dec 4 Toucan, Kingston Sat Dec 5 Mohawk College McIntyre Theatre, Hamilton HURON ONLY Fri Dec 11 Babylon, Ottawa HAPPY ENDINGS ONLY The Dakota date is the last in our Wednesday residency for now, but we'll be back in January and February, sharpening our chops before the record comes out. The album is streaming here: latentrecordings.com/huron And here is the art. Thanks for reading. Hope you like it.

edger Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I'd love to pick up a disc. Won't be in Hamilton on the 5th...is Adam still on campus these days? If so I could meet up with him and make a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Fri Dec 11 Babylon, OttawaAccording to Babylon, this show will be a release party for a new cassette by Army Of St. Joan, with Ian Blurton, Tokyo Sex Whale, and Mountanaka filling out the bill.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yup...there's no Huron set that night, just Happy Endings, which is Ian's band...i.e. Ian Blurton + Huron = Happy Endings. It's a heavy show. Hope y'all like the record.Edger...I think Adam is on campus until the end of this semester and then he's free! You know how to reach him?

DevO Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 This album f'n rocks! I'm mostly a weekend warrior these days, but would love to try to catch some of this live. When do things usually get rolling at the Dakota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 The Dakota timing has pretty much been10:30 - 11:30 Huron11:50 - close Happy Endings (two sets)And we just confirmed January and February the other day...not that that should keep you from coming out tonight if you can Kev-O! Are you in Toronto now? Hard to keep track of ya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 p.s. Here we are at the Dakota last week. L-R Ian Blurton, Pete Hall, Cam Malcolm, Adam Melnick, Aaron Goldstein. My only regret is that the photo doesn't convey the true number of amps that are onstage...which is 8. If you could see behind my guitar rig there, you'd see Adam's little fantasy keyboard land, with his organ and piano, and his beloved tape echo that informs so much of the psychedelia of both the Huron and Happy Endings sets.

Esau. Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Man, great job guys. I'm loving the energy on this album. Going try to make the Mohawk show since it's just down the street from me. Any idea what time that one gets rolling? I have a family christmas deal in St. Catherines that day.

ollie Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I just bought the digital download on Booche's strong recommendation... Wow, this sounds great! The production is fantastic and the songs are really catchy on first listen. And is that the slightest hint of a Genesis nod on the outro of The War Between?

Booche Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I just bought the digital download on Booche's strong recommendation... Thank a drunk Tungsten for that! Seriously its fucking great. I think every Skanc should buy this, else have their account either suspended for one month or deleted altogether. The Good Rev deserves nothing less in my mind. If you dont regularily support artists, at least support the ones on this board from time to time. This is a great cd to start with. It's amazing some of the talent that resides on this board.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thank a drunk Tungsten for that!Shit yeah! This has been rocking my world and has edged out all others for commuting music last week...I just went back and looked at that message...jeebus. No more mid-week drinking...well, maybe not this week... OK i'm drunk and typing and these fat fingers canm't keep up with the surly ass fist pumpin that's going on imny living room right now.GOod rev posted Huron on the board - find the post and listen to the free streaming album - it is fuÇking incredible. Wolfmother-slip-theband-b eatles-mountain fugging rock. If you still have a pair and didn't trade them for your first born you'd cough upa hte 8.99 USD and buy the mp3 download so this can tour and we can pump our fists and look at other people with that fuÇking 'I goddamn told you so motrherfucker!!!' look in our eyes. I am losing mys hti to this album and candidly emailnig your sorry ass to say ROCK THSI sh!t!LoceveyaERic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
