Hibernatin' Hens

March '98

This month The Henrys will surely re-emerge, Phoenix-like, onto the world stage. Or perhaps ... might it be more apropos to conjure the image of four grizzly bears with studio tans, pawing around after a recording session, headphones dangling, blinded by the light but still out there getting their first taste of (nightclub) air since the fall? Well, no matter how you slice it, if you venture down Hamilton way on March 27th or 28th and stumble into a club called Mumbo Jumbo, there we'll be, giggin'. Big time! (What exactly IS it with Hamilton? We've been there for non-musical reasons about zero times in the last 25 years, but we do more gigs in The Hammer than Junkhouse.) Email us if you want directions. If you're coming from Europe, the best thing is to fly into Pearson and rent a car from there. HOWEVER, if you place yourself more in the Torontoboundhipster camp, perchance you would prefer a venue such as the Oasis Room on April 16? Can ya make it? For an intimate Thursday night concert-style setting on trendy College near Spadina? Keep in mind the Hens haven't done a gig in eons, we miss you, and we have TONS of new songs. And while we've got you on the line, stay tuned for a pending date at Holy Joe's, which is further downtown, possibly on Wellington. (Criticized in the past for our rude attitude toward Americans, we hope you Yanks are appreciating the new-agey kinda vibe flavo(u)ring this current posting. Galldarnit we love everyone - always did.) Watch out for our new CD this summer, coming to a record store near you. Unless, of course, you live in a place like North America, where huntin' down the CD gets a tad more complicated. It might not be super-commercial music, but wouldn't it be nice if this new CD by The Henrys could win us just *one* of those little ole Blockbuster Awards, like Garth and Nick Cage and Will Smith did the other night? Even though that must be THE HURTIN'EST idea for an awards show the Yanks have EVER - woops!! - anybody on the planet has thought of yet, we'd take one to the podium just as sure as bears come out of their caves come springtime. Your faithful servants, The Hanks.
