Monday morning means another mp3.
This time around I thought I'd offer up a rare treat from three guys once collectively known as Huffy. In Burlington, Vermont in 1995, Tim Lauben, Jeff Brown, and Nate Wells put out what was probably the best cassette-only release I've ever heard. "Sunny Drive Time" was six songs, catchy as all hell, which transformed Huffy from the lo-fi duo of Tim and Jeff to the full-on rock band they became when Nate joined up. I was pretty much blown away, and I still listen to the songs often. I hope they won't mind that I'm sharing one of 'em, Quilted, with you. Ringing Ear Records released a 7'' with two of the other SDT songs ("Anything Goes" / "Handlebars"), which you can actually still pick up even though the label isn't around anymore. A fourth song, Carry, can be downloaded from the My Life or Some Dream compilation page here on this site. For a whole lot more Huffy, Me Too! Records put out their posthumous No High Five cd, and you can also get the Ringing Ear 7'' there as well. Tim now plays in Brooklyn's The Red and The Black, Jeff's doing law-type stuff and is about to get hitched, and where the hell's Nate? I've kinda lost track.  |
