Hudson River School formed during the fall of 2000 in a small apartment in the avenues district of Salt Lake City. We all came from pretty diverse musical backgrounds (a couple of us from skate, punk & hardcore roots, and others from a more mainstream cultivation), but have all had many years of experience performing in bands.
Everything we've done thus far has been self-produced. We do all of our own marketing and design with little to no budget (we recorded our very first demos with money we made selling days of our lives videos on ebay). We sold out of our self released full length (SFAVR), and have since been working on demos, with the hope of finding the right label on which to release the next album.
We toured the WestCoast with Superdrag last august and had great time. We've also done some dates with Ultimate Fakebook, Jimmy Eat World, and have done some other regional touring. We Played at SxSW in 2002, and were also voted "Band of the Year, 2002" in Utah, by the CityWeekly readers. There's been some radio play, some good reviews, some great shows, and always good times. Well okay, not always — we're on our third drummer ;) — but we all enjoy the rock and the roll, so rock is what we do; We've also been known to roll on occasion. |
