Often times, band biographies come across as contrived and ridden with cliché, full of "coming to a town near you" and "forming a unique synthesis of blah blah blah," often resulting in something that reads like it was written by a computer, nonetheless making the band at stake seem both prefabricated and entirely boring. So, in an effort to distance ourselves from this trend, we will try to be as concise as possible: We love pop music. We like songs that are under 3 1/2 minutes. We love things that are timeless (be it clothes, instruments, sounds). We love rock and roll. We are not going for "unique syntheses" or trying to "expand your horizons" or "create a tenuous but altogether real personal connection" through our music, we just want to see you dance. So if this combination doesn't make us sound entirely distasteful to you (and the music above is properly invigorating), come see us when we play. Listen to our songs. That is about as much as we can ask.
Love,
The Huguenots
12/2/07: changed the colour scheme around; the grey and black seemed a bit sombre for our upbeat pop music
12/11/07: we wanted to let everyone know that we will be going into the studio proper this sunday to begin work on our debut EP, so be on the lookout for new recordings in the near future.
4/30/07: MANY SHOWS! Well, for us anyways. We have begun work on self-recording a 12 song CD that will be the working project for this summer, so look forward to that, because you should. Come see us with our friends Lake Inferior, The Young Sons, Minipop, and The Sammies all in the near future.
Live at Local 506- "I Would Say"
