The Histrionics

Bio:

The Histrionics is our three piece band: guitar/vocals, baritone guitar and drums that we formed in Seattle, WA 2004. "Parlour", our first full length album, was self-released September 2005. After playing many local shows, we participated in the EMP's SoundOff! 2005. "Let's Move the Meat", our second full length album, was self-released September 2006, which received local press, play on Seattle's KEXP 90.3fm, and was available at Sonic Boom Record stores. April 2007 brought a successfully self booked midwestern tour.


After taking the better part of 2008 off, we are now writing a new album and planning shows in Olympia and Seattle.


Do send us a Myspace message for all questions and booking.


THE HISTRIONICS, MAUSER, LAKE OF FALCONS (El Corazón, early) With so many bands striving to be marketable these days, local all-girl trio the Histrionics bravely summon all that is not easily sold. Their sound has the grit of early Nirvana, the punked-up, jam-band aesthetic of Sonic Youth, and the dismissive attitude of strong women artists like PJ Harvey. It's a sound that would've been fucking huge in 1994. But it's 2006, and sadly, the Histrionics' abrasive "don't give a fuck" garage rock has gone mostly unnoticed. But now with the release of their debut full-length, Let's Move the Meat (tonight's show is a CD-release party), perhaps the rest of the world will have an easier time catching on to these ladies' ballsy rock.
