   About Ha Ha Tonka in Grand Rapids, MI tonight
What people are already saying about
NOVEL SOUNDS OF THE NOUVEAU SOUTH


"Novel Sounds is violent, literate, unapologetic Southern rock. With its angelic organ and snarling guitars, "The Outpouring" conjures the Allmans, "Hold My Feet to the Fire" drops gospel harmonies over a boogie-woogie backbeat, and the fingerpicked "Close Every Valve to Your Bleeding Heart" builds from tender to raging without a false note."
-David Peisner, SPIN (June 2009)

"(Novel Sounds) Occupies the sweet spot between country and indie, writing ornery songs with big hooks. Listen if you want your alt country to be heavy on the alt."
-J. Edward Keyes, RollingStone.com (May 2009)

"...in crafting a more challenging album—a more mature album—Ha Ha Tonka have, against the odds, crafted a much better album, too. Novel sounds, indeed."
-PopMatters (June 2009)

"If Novel Sounds was a novel, it'd be Southern gothic. The songs are full of sin and violence, with echoes of the Civil War ("The Horse In Motion," "A Siege Of Sorts") and lynch mobs ("What Shepherds Of These Hills?"). There aren't many laughs to be had with this record but it's a solid achievement."
-Kerry Doole, Exclaim (June 2009)

"With feet to the fire and one blind eye, they divine rough, chunky truths on their sophomore album, Novel Songs of the Nouveau South, letting churchy harmonies and bad boy rock attitude commingle around the holy water they've collected."
-Jam Base

"Ha Ha Tonka perfects power-chill in its second installment, Novel Songs of the Nouveau South...It's indie rock from the heartland; the spirit of the back-country with a peppy snare and some serious guitar."
-Vox Magazine

"These Missouri natives have a natural way with a pop hook and instinctive feeling for myriad forms of Southern music...Ha Ha Tonka is truly one of the best young bands in America."
-Sound Affects

"What sets the band apart is the fact that you just don't care how familiar it may all ultimately sound, as just about every track on the group's new Novel Songs of the Nouveau South hits it out of the park"
-Time Out Chicago

"Their new Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South ups the ante and the amperage, wiring the weather vane into a lighting rod."
-OSU Weekly

Here's what some folks have said after listening to our first record
BUCKLE IN THE BIBLE BELT


"It’s the best rock record I’ve heard this year. There’s nothing on the White Stripes’ recent Icky Thump as convincingly roots-rockin’ as “Caney Mountain,”...Power-pop hook kings the New Pornographers couldn’t manage a track as infectious as Ha Ha Tonka’s “Falling In” on their latest, Challengers—and they’ve got Neko Case! Trust me, folks, this is really strong stuff." Josh Timmerman - PopMatters.com

"HHT deftly mixes sweet harmonies and raw, spewing rock and roll. Miss this record at your own risk." John Holcomb - Amplifier

"A precocious, stammering rock record that bridges sweet-water gospel folk with sweltering Southern rock." CMJ Essentials

"It's practically hopeless for me to try and compare this album or band to someone else. Everyone today is trying to be new and different, so as to have an edge on the competition. Well, Ha Ha Tonka has done it." Rachel Frederickson - Hybrid Music

"Blasting from our offices:rich with personal stories and people eager to pound the floorboards to crunchy, sun-soaked roots rock." SPIN Magazine

“…a confident set of rootsy indie-rock combining a variety of well-crafted songs with excellent harmonies. At times the band’s sound recalls Kings of Leon, but other influences poke through, from backwoods gospel to the Replacements." Don Yates - KEXP Seattle

Hey, 

I saw you in Chicago on October 23 @ the Bottom Lounge. You're BY FAR my favorite band. I feel like I've been waiting all of my life to hear your music. If I felt the way that I felt when I listen to your music, all the time I would be the happiest & nicest person. I think that you guys should hire me as your PR person. This weekend I was at this party and went around talking to everyone about your music... I went up to my friend and started talking to him about it and he said "Goddamnit Natalie, not only is this the 2nd time you've talked to me about Ha Ha Tonka tonight, I went to the fucking show with you!" This is how efficient I am. I can't wait for you guys to come back to Chicago after you're done touring. You guys should start making a new album now too.
