The Huns

Excerpt from Images article by Louis Black: "...AND THEN IT WAS TIME for the last band. Before the Battle began I was making predictions with another journalist and we agreed that the unknown quantity at this event was the Huns. They could at time be brilliant; however, they are also capable of being godawful - their performance last October at the Union Building ballroom was one of the worst musical events i've ever seen. In the contest, I was honestly expecting them to be less than spectacular. It is an odd band with its emergence and growth intricately wound up both with the popular and media growth/coverage of the new wave scene in Austin. At times they seem to love their punkiest-craziest-kids-on-the-block image and at other times they seem bored. Their performance is usually more dramatic than the musical and no one quite knew what to expect Wednesday night. What they got was the Huns whipping it out and playing like they've rarely played. When their backs were up against the wall, when they had to put up or shut up, they came through. They screamed, cavorted, stared, went manic, and came back again. The ultimate testimony is that I believed them. The best any culture form can do is make a connection where it makes sense to you and seems honest to you and the Huns did that.Despite the crowds and the heat and despite knowing most of the band members and despite the excellence of many of the other bands the Huns went the honorable way. They went beserk, they went crazy, and they played mad music and I believed them..." Sole official audio release: Glad He's Dead bw Busy Kids - God GOD001 Layout by: My Layouts Creator
