  • Bio

    HEERNT is a band moved by art, motivated by adventure, and defined only by its gravity toward important music. Combining the most powerful elements of jazz, indie rock, and electronic music, HEERNT has loosely coined its sound "experimental garage jazz", yet these words breathe separate meanings. Experimental references the onstage tv, dual samplers, and original art installations that spout film, words and images unique to each song. Garage pays tribute to the homespun spirit in which the music is conceived, and the rock and roll abandon in which it is performed. Jazz simply means that improvisation is ever-present, and that spontaneity is paramount. HEERNT's fresh approach to song writing highlights their dedication to the balance between chaos and order, urgency and fun, dirty and clean. Such a focus ensures that both the rebel and the nerd will be moved by HEERNT's artistic, adventurous, and important music. ...... HEERNT's debut album, 'Locked in a Basement', is a statement from three adventurous young musicians that will demand an equal response from the jazz, indie rock, and electronic circles. Drummer Mark Guiliana, who "may well be at the forefront of an exciting new style of drumming" (-Modern Drummer Magazine), founded HEERNT with the intention of reaching many audiences with important, un classifiable music. 'Locked in a Basement' tells eleven stories in varied settings, including a garage jazz ruckus, an analog funk anthem, an outer space big band, and an epic chamber piece, all in HEERNT's unique voice. ***in stores June 6, 2006***
