BACK HOME AGAIN

A week ago we returned from our 2nd NW mini-tour. And though we came at it a little more ready than previous, holy hell this was a challenging one. 1k in tire repair, amps blowing, half dead from sleep deprivation, cops and missing licenses, horses and electric fences, and general insanity at times within the band---it's hard to believe how much chaos ensued in such a short period. But ultimately, the whole thing was hilarious. And what other way is there to look at it? The challenges came and went, and everything in between was terrific. Throughout, we teamed up with some seriously fantastic and original bands, and met a lot of cool folks. Big thanks to all that made this a reality-----Eric and Ninth Moon Black(thanks Atom and Kasey for babysitting us), Matt and Reigns, Wendy and Uzi, Garrison, Dj Tenex, Les Schwab, Allen "yea brow" Verelly, Ben and Burials, Druden, Chris and Ash St., Pete Jay and BlackQueen, Joy and the awe-inspiring Eye of Nix, Golgothan Sunrise, Blood of Kings, Geeg McSeegins, The Habers, and BJ Dick. Salud!

NW 2013

In less than a week we head up north again. Here's the short, yet most exciting itinerary:

UPCOMING

Tonight we play the RCA/Hot Mess compound in Oakland. This place just recently won in court against--or at least delayed--their eviction, called for by the reptilian real estate scumcult Rockridge Properties, LLC. So this will be the first show since this victory. Or at least we're hoping it's a victory, because this is a great little venue that would be sorely missed if the unthinkable should happen. The bands we're sharing the floor with are exceptional as well; Ninth Moon Black from Eugene, Aequorea from Grass Valley(our buddy Clay on drums), and Firewitch from Humboldt.





































Then, on the 20th of April we do this at the ELBO in SF:






































And then, we set sail up north for a minute. Just 3 shows for now, but they'll definitely be exceptional:

APRIL 24-----w/Druden, Burials. Ash St Saloon, Portland, OR
APRIL 26-----w/Ninth Moon Black, tba. Springfield, OR.
APRIL 27-----w/Eye of Nix, Golgothan Sunrise, Blood of Kings. Highline, Seattle, WA.
JUNE 1--------w/Burials, Stoneburner, tba. Eli's, Oakland, CA.

2013

2012 was one hell of a year for the Hunt. Finishing our first LP, slugging out our first tour, and all the trials and victories in between-- it's taught us a lot, and has bred some serious inspiration for the new year. It's also great to see that our work has rubbed off on others, as BtPoA has ended up on a nice little handful of top 2012 metal lists like this one, and this one, and this one, among others. Thanks to everyone for this support, words cannot express how appreciative we are.

As of now, here's our next show in the Bay, March 24th at DNA:





































In the meantime, we'll be putting the pieces together for an April west coast tour. Details coming soon. Hell's bells!
