A weekend of great shows

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:00:02 +0000

We’ve got another action packed weekend of music ahead of us. Tonight we’re at The Skylark in West Seattle. We’re playing with the 1Uppers and Countrycide. This is a free show, and we always have a great night when we play out there. Great vibe in that room! Then on Saturday we head out to Ellensburg to meet up with our friends Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs to play a show with them at the Iron Horse Brewery 5th anniversary party. A party thrown by people who make beer could prove to be a pretty rowdy night!

Muse Muse Review 10/10

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:14:55 +0000

“This is good rock and roll. The song is Racing A River. The next cut, The Heist didn’t disappoint either. The insistent guitar riff that anchors the song rocks the band through a song of robbery gone awry. Sparrow features Zeffren’s vocal over a latin spiced rhythm laid down by Obee’s snaky bass line and Padilla’s percussion. When the lead guitar comes in, full of passion and distortion, the song really takes off. Crowds of the City is a nice rock number with solid guitar work. Barricades was one of my favorite songs on the CD… the band rocks. The Map Is Not The Territory is a very strong offering from Hurricane Chaser. This is a band with strong commercial potential.”

Seattle Sound Review…3.5 stars!

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:19:33 +0000

Taken from the July issue, p. 71.

“Maybe its Brad Zeffren’s slightly nasaly, early Dylan-esque voice. Maybe it’s Zeffren and Derek Pulvino’s moody, twangy guitar licks. Ben Obee’s looping basslines or Moises Padilla’s steady rhythmic percussion. Nathan Spicer’s shimmering keys. Or Kristen Ward’s backing vocals on “The Heist”. Nailing down the quality that makes Hurricane Chaser’s debut sound so immediately and comfortably familiar is a tough task. Zeffren’s introspective lyrics (“Black and White/ shows you where to begin/ because everything turns black and white when it ends”) and low-key delivery pair with the instruments acoustic/electric, country folk sound to create a melancholic but soothing tone established in opener “Racing a River” and carries through to the lost-love-but-not-hope “The Lighthouse”. Pair The Map Is Not The Territory with Zeffren’s local sonic history (former co-owner of Chroma Sound, Star Anna/North Twin/Kristen Ward producer), and it’s easy to see this band and it’s players making big names for themselves.”
