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!

BACK HOME?

As short as our journey up and down the northwest was, it was a great one. An inspiring, grueling, and transformative experience. Being back home seems strangely foreign. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm out of scratch, I'd be turning the ignition to the Elsewhere bus right this minute. That's okay, all the more incentive to gear up--more efficiently--for the next adventure. Until then, here's some visual evidence:

WILD HUNT NW APPEARANCES

Funny to think that after all these years, the Hunt hasn't yet stepped on a stage beyond the Yay area. But in a week we will, finally. We're excited to be playing Nanotear's Fall into Darkness fest friday, Oct 5th in Portland, with Worm Ouroboros, Subrosa, and Aranya(a free show, too!). There will be 3 other NW appearances as well, flyers for each below:

LAST MINUTE SHOW

Tomorrow night! We're back at Eli's with the most excellent EXHAUSTED PRAYER from LA. The flyer below still reads TBA, but now the other confirmed bands are our bros CATACOMB CREEPS (Santa Cruz) and OLD CROW. Whatever you already have planned for tomorrow night is completely meaningless. See you at Eli's!
