HOWARD NORTH

this formative Montreal supergroup is sadly no more. they were:

Jonah BRUCKER-COHEN: drums & throat.

Ethan HOLDA: throat & electric guitar.

Gabe LEVINE: e. guitar & throat. (now of BLACK OX ORKESTRAR, SACKVILLE, and OMA MIEP, and at one point of NERDY GIRL)

Harris NEWMAN: e. bass & throat. (formerly of Toronto's MUDFISH, MILKEN and SACKVILLE)

disco:

they released one highly acclaimed 7" record. it contains three songs - "Song #8", "Seventy", and "Gin Breeding". appreciative reviews were dished out by CMJ & montreal's top-notch derivative records. it is available through me, derivative, or vinyl ink record store. keep your eyes out for their upcoming self-released cassette of their other fine material.

shows:

i am very proud to have personally known these fine young musicians during the first 2/3 of their existence. those who were lucky enough to attend their shows (the most infamous being the opening slot for THE JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION) will surely remember their `hit' song, "Judge Irwin is Innocent." i was in the priviliged position of being directly above their practice spot. i own the first ever recording of their material - their first song, "gasoline" - so early that ethan isn't around yet (on 1 track hand tape recorder). i'll release it one day (if they let me!!!)
