We’ll start off with a show at the Tractor Tavern on Friday April 30th, with Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs. Opening the night will be The Legendary Oaks. Get your advance tickets here.

After that one, we’ll head out to Ellensburg to play Raw Space, the new rock club out there. That should be a great show, with Open Country Joy joining us.

At the end of May, we’re heading BACK INTO THE STUDIO to start work on a second full length album, due to come out this fall. Stay tuned for updates as the recording progresses. We’re starting the project off at Two Sticks Audio, where Brad has worked many times producing records for Star Anna, Nathan Wade and the Dark Pioneers, Viva La Villians, and just a few weeks ago, Massy Ferguson.

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!

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.”

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.”
-Clint Brownlee
Standout Tracks: “The Heist”, “Barricades”
