One For The Weekend: The Huns

Chicago garage-rockers The Huns are in Steven Krakow's Secret History feature for the Reader. Check out "Destination Lonely"

Writes Steven Krakow...
Once again VERY EXCITED to present the tale of a band I SO DIG in the new Secret History of Chicago Music in the Chicago Reader. The Huns told me a lot of their snotty/sublime garage-rockin’ story for the first time! Their suburban history is tied into the legendary club the Cellar AND The Nuge! (Plus opening for Buffalo Springfield and Strawberry Alarm Clock, aka pure gold in my world). 

Their lone 45 "Destination Lonely" b/w "Winning Ticket" is coveted by collector-types, but it’s a DOOZY of primal fuzzed angst and Mersey-like beauty! The legendary Cheater Slicks covered the A-side. 
They’re reforming for a show at Hey Nonny Arlington Heights on Aug. 1 and I WILL BE THERE OR BE SQUARE! 

This will be in the big Aug print issue too, thanks Philip Montoro for doing some heavy lifting while sick, hero!  Read The Huns story in the Chicago Reader right here. Listen to both sides of The Huns single below.
