A recent article on the HB’s
Lefty et al, seems like Erika and the band are into the unusual with their music videos.-a la the bouncing eyeballs one posted earlier.
This one in the article for the song “Only for You” features a couple of young exec’s playing the office role followed by Erika and the whole band going swimming.
Enjoy!http://www.purevolume.com/festivals/heartless-bastards-ericka-wennerstrom-the-mountain/

Oh, man. Erika two hours away, hmh. Can’t make it, musiclover, though I did see them at Exit In in Nash once upon a time. Give us a report, and maybe you’ll even find a context to shout out Lucinda’s name stageward.
Will do. Maybe Erika will notice mt LW t-shirt. I first caught the HB’s opening for Lucinda several yrs. ago.
Should be a good show. Wish you could make it.
Paul Thorn is playing there Sat 12/29 i believe?A video to enjoy from Antones in Austin ,TX from 1/17/13
Song is a cover of the late Johnny Thunders ” You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory”
The music drowns out Erika’s usually powerful voice a bit but it’s nice to see the band on tour again. They are heading off to Europe soon.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjcYZadfphYAlso, here’s a excerpt from an interview for their upcoming show today in Dallas followed by the complete article in the Dallas Observer.
Has anyone ever acted offended by the band’s name?
Sometimes. Sometimes people seem a little like, “What?” [laughs] I remember when we first started touring and I got a business credit card in the band’s name. It would be funny when buying supplies at the office store and it says “Heartless Bastards” on it. People give you this strange look. I think most people find the humor in ithttp://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2013/01/heartless_bastards_interview.php

One of my favorite HB tunes “Gray” very enthusiastic crowd for sure.

BUT if the weather is too nasty than you can catch Erika at the new Southgate House Revival this Friday or Saturday.{ edit-I forgot you are Chicago bound }lwj
Here’s a full 1/2 hour high quality video of Erika and the band to enjoy.
January, 2013 at the new Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY

Erika’s new Summer tour started last night in Philly at the Union Transfer.
Here is a video that the up loader didn’t know the song title but of course Lefty and I know that it’s “Low, Low, Low” from the Arrow album.

The schedule for NA which will be followed in mid August to a return to Europe.I made this schedule super, super big for Lafayette to take note of August 4th at the Greaves Auditorium in Highland Heights, KY- a WNKU benefit concert. I’m sure John Patrick can get you a ticket.
Here are the details.

Not too often that you can view a full show of the HB’s but here is one to enjoy from July 19/13 at the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City, UT.
A full hour and forty minutes.
A bit too bad about the camera angle recording from stage left but it’s a great show with a very enthusiastic crowd.
Lafayette, are you planning on seeing them at the WNKU benefit coming up on August 4th ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50GL1BKLMKg

Two Erika Wennerstrom updates to enjoy.
First up is a 3/4 hour podcast with the “Wandering Wolf”that took place over brunch in a restaurant in Austin, TX.
Seems like the HB’s are soon to be in the big leagues acquiring a “metal firecracker” tour bus.
Have a listen.

It’s also worth noting that the HB’s are embarking on a Euro tour starting in mid August just to the UK and the Netherlands.
I think their several concerts to play for the Dutch is a wise choice as in Lucinda’s recent tour the fans there seemed to be really enthusiastic into listening and commenting on her shows there.lwj
