Ha Ha Tonka -- the Springfield, Missouri band that plays around these parts quite often -- originally hails from the Ozarks. In addition to going on tour -- they'll be at RecordBar on April 23 -- and hanging out with Anthony Bourdain, the band members also chatted with The Huffington Post the other day. Looks like HuffPo has some nice things to say about the alt-country band and its homeland:
In a land perhaps unfairly identified with cooking crystal meth and squirrel meat pie, it's refreshing to see a band successfully emerge with good taste (and good vibrations) intact while embracing their heritage.
Not too shabby, eh?
Here's what the band said about appearing on No Reservations:
"We're all big fans," Roberts says of the show, their appearance arranged by band manager Frank Hill. "It was a really big deal. He and his crew were as sweet as could be. They said they never had a musical performance on, like, an actual show ... so it was very flattering."For anyone who hasn't discovered Ha Ha Tonka, it's time to sample what Bourdain and Missouri Ozarks inhabitants already enjoy.
Check out the full piece here, where the band discusses its new record, Death of a Decade.
Ha Ha Tonka, with Eddie Spaghetti. Saturday, April 23, at the RecordBar.
