The Return of The Hush Sound

There is a God. One of my favorite bands as a teen is getting back together for a reunion tour. The Hush Sound, masters of the concept album, were a four piece, double vocaled, upbeat, songwriting machine. They released three albums (all of which are nearly flawless), and yet were still so underrated. It was like a crime. Well lucky for you all, you have me here, reporting the news, late as always, to give you the chance to see one of the best bands you've probably never heard of.


While it isn't exactly clear, at least from what I've gathered, if the group is actually back together for good or just going on tour together again. I have my fingers crossed that they have made amends (although I'm not 100% certain why they broke up in the first place), and given that both solo projects by vocalists Bob and Greta seem to be inactive, Id say it is a good possibility.

The tour dates (so far) are as follows:

Oct 26 - Chicago, Illinois
Oct 27 - Iowa City, Iowa
Oct 28 - Minneanpolis, Minnesota
Nov 16 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Nov 17 - Cambridge, Massachusetts
Nov 17 (afternoon) - Boston, Massachusetts
Nov 18 - New York, New York
Nov 19 - Akron, Ohio

Sadly there is not a place near me, but I'm hoping to be able to con a friend or two into going to see them to find out if they play any new tracks for the long-time fans. So far, no new material has been posted, or even mentioned, but its over a month away from the first show. Maybe in the mean time we will get some answers.

For full info, including location and times for shows, check out their Facebook events page.
