Along the way we were programmed to write songs subconsciously with emphasis on what pleased the inhabitants of outron 9, THE CODA. We have since returned and awakened, however briefly, to please you also with these songs.

   About The Hibernauts

Press Quotes and Notable Acknowledgements--

The Hibernauts "Periodic Fable" named 1 local release of 2007 by STLToday.com, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s official website

The Hibernauts "Periodic Fable" named top ten local release of 2007 by Riverfront Times, based in St. Louis

The Hibernauts "Periodic Fable" CD release show named Best Local Concert of the past 12 months by Riverfront Times, based in St. Louis

One of American Indie Podcast’s Featured Artists in 2007

"’Sleeping in Space’ is, hands-down, the catchiest song you’ve heard all year...’Throwing Rice’ is another fast-paced indie dream’"
Laura Hamlett, Playback STL

"...the whole album (Periodic Fable) has a smooth continuity with each tune being a piece of a well-constructed puzzle."
Kent Manthie, Amplifier Magazine

"...dynamic...inventive...insidiously catchy...crisp...exuberant...The Hibernauts [are] making some of the most exciting, challenging music around."
Annie Zaleski, Riverfront Times

"The Hibernauts play a strong, stripped-down style of indie rock that comes forth into pop glory...on "Periodic Fable"...their superior musicianship and arrangement skills here are why the band ultimately succeeds on "Periodic Fable". Each of the tracks here could conceivably be a single."
Neufutur Magazine

"’Periodic Fable’ [is] fast synth-pop riddled with post-punk, pop-rock, and grand choruses. [The Hibernauts] plunges deep into dance-punk rhythms and use guitars and synthesizers to create a hazy post-Interpol sort of sound...but few do it this well."
J-Sin, Smother Magazine

REENTRY: The perilous moment in which a spacecraft is hurled back into the Earth’s atmosphere at blistering 17,500 miles per hour, whereupon the crew must determine the best angle of approach to dissipate their speed to a safe level, ideally ensuring that the vehicle does not "burn up". Look Mom, no hands!

What an amazing concept… That after months spent sleeping in space - engaging in ground-breaking astronomical studies, waking up every day with no sensation of weight, and looking down upon the only world we know from a viewpoint that only a few dozen have ever enjoyed – that after it’s all over, on the way back home, everything could fry up in your face like a cheap firework you mistook for a clove cigarette.

Who knows if NASA has started issuing iPods to astronauts yet, but when they do, you can be sure that the Hibernauts will quickly become standard issue. And why not? There is something about the brimming urgency of their music that would perfectly accompany the experience of plunging toward the Earth, watching the clouds scream past – and maybe a few pieces of the shuttle – because with every ounce of sincerity comes a tongue firmly planted in a cheek. It’s these situations in which a sense of humor is required to maintain perspective.

[The HIBERNAUTS can be itemized as follows: At least one guitar is required at all times, though two may be used for dynamic emphasis. Said guitars are to be operated by Jack Stevens and Tom McArthur, both of whom are also responsible for vocalizing an assortment of sentiments, both comic and tragic (McArthur should opt for a synthesizer should the feeling be "right"). Also contributing to the musical and lyrical concept of the band will be bassist Bill Vehige, who should seize any opportunity to take his turn as the musical mouthpiece. The rhythmic locomotive that pushes this musical vessel will be drummer Brett Ramsey, who should play with a speed and vigor that will inevitably teeter on the edge of terrifying.]

So as the astronauts return from Mission 221, plummeting through the Earth’s pale blue thermosphere, wriggling along in their safety restraints to the frenetic guitars, the dance-inducing drum breaks, the sugar-coated synths, they’ll be looking down at the world they remember, while little spots of time flash before their eyes: The many rock-paper-scissors duels; The Army-Navy game; The first time they saw their ex-girlfriend riding in her new man’s convertible…

REENTRY (as defined in medicine): "The return of the same impulse into an area of heart muscle that it has recently activated but that is now no longer refractory, as in reciprocal rhythm." Let’s ignore what that actually means and draw the obvious parallel: When a rocketship full of spacemen are careening back towards the planet they call home, simultaneously staring their past and future squarely in the eyes (assuming that’s possible) - all the while hoping that decompression won’t keep them from missing the next Hibernauts show - they’re really just coming back to heart of it all.

*************** Thanks for being a fan and supporting independant/local music. Be sure to check out the bands in our Top Friends and support them too.

We have released our record entitled "Periodic Fable" and is available at select retailers, and online.

See you around town

Canadian Customs: THE UNCONQUERED SON in BEST BUY!





Jul 16 2008 5:37 PM

NEWFLASH TO OUR FANS AND FRIENDS IN THE ST. LOUIS AREA:

FIRST - CANADIAN CUSTOMS returns to St. Louis on July 26 at THE BROADWAY BISTRO ZOO!!! It is a MusicFest with a huge number of bands. Our Show time will be 2:30 p.m. because we have another show later that night. If you have never been to The Broadway Bistro Zoo, the sound is great, the beer is cold, and we know the house will be rockin' when we are playing!!!


SECOND - Our CD entitled "THE UNCONQUERED SON" is finally in the Best Buy stores. It has been confirmed to us that it is in the stores in all the St. Louis District stores including Fairview Heights (IL), Crestwood, Fenton, South County, Ellisville, Bridgeton, Brentwood, Chesterfield, and Mid Rivers Mall. It is also in other Missouri stores (such as Cape Girardeau and Columbia).

We know it is also in other stores (and other states) but these are the ones in the St. Louis area which have been confirmed to us. If you are at your local Best Buy (anywhere) and they do not have it in stock, they can get it from another store for you.

Also, if you are told it is a "discontinued" item, that is WRONG. Their system just has not been updated with the distribution. For example, the Chicago area stores still show that as of this morning, but they can get it for you from a different store (have them reference one of the stores we know has it).

If the store cannot locate it by name (which they should be able to do), the Best Buy SKU# is: 8899953. All Best Buy stores can locate it by that number.

If you have problems - let us know and we will find a way to fix them. We want to thank all our fans and friends for your continued support. We hope this CD will enable us to tour near you and to record another (which we are already working on).
