Noise On Tour nos ha otorgado la oportunidad de disfrutar en Cangas de otra de esas bandas la cual probablemente en un par de años para poder verlas tendrás que pagar algo mas de 10 euros.
Procedentes de una ciudad con un nombre mas que conocido por todos nosotros Springfield (Missouri). Ha Ha Tonka vendrán de gira por primera vez a España tras ser fichados por la discográfica Bloodshot Records (Ryan Adams, The Bottle Rockets, The Yayhoos) donde han editado su último trabajo "Death Of A Decade". Publicado en el 2011 de este álbum para mi gusto destacan entre otras canciones: el último corte "Humorist" el cual me recuerda a The Band Of Horses , ineludible es esquivar su toque indie en temas como "made example of" , o su single y una de las canciones mas movidas "Usual Supects" ,la cual te recordará a Marah.
En sonido del bangio y ese ritmo en ocasiones desenfrenado te llevará de recorrido por el sonido americana, el southern rock, el bluegrass, y en ocasiones pensarás estar en pleno Mardi Gras de Nueva Orleans. Eso sí sin olvidar sus aires indies que como bien te he dicho antes te recordará a bandas como the Band Of Horses en esas largas melodías.
Ya no estamos tampoco ante una banda iniciada en esto del mundo del rock, puesto que desde 2007 han publicado tres larga duraciones, y varios singles. Sin duda alguna aquí tendremos otra gran oportunidad de disfrutar de una buena banda en directo. Distinta a las que actualmente hemos disfrutado en nuestros escenarios. No te los puedes dejar escapar.

ENTREVISTA A HA HA TONKA
Here are answers to your interview questions. Let me know if you need anything else. These were answered by Brian Roberts (lead singer/guitarist) of Ha Ha Tonka.
1. This will be your first visit to Spain. What do you expect from this tour?
Needless to say, we're very excited to be embarking on our first European Tour. We've heard nothing but great things about Spanish audiences, so we're really looking forward to the shows in Spain! Let's get rowdy!
2. How would you define your style of music ...?
Someone once told us we sounded like combination of indie rock meeting the "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack. I think we all got a kick out of that definition. We have also heard that we fit somewhere between Americana and Indie, where Alabama meets Arcade Fire. I'll take that as well.
3. How and when Ha Ha Tonka born? and What music inspires you every day?
Ha Ha Tonka was born in the Ozarks in the state of Missouri...which is right in the middle of the United States. We're actually named after a state park not too far from where we grew up. We try to sing a lot about the people, places & things where we're from.

As far as music that inspires me personally, I think that Paul Simon might be the best conversational lyricist of all time. Sonically, I was always amazed at how REM could change their sound. I really respect that...Radiohead also does a good job at pushing their musical boundaries. These acts, coupled with a lot of 80's country music influenced me greatly.
4. Convince people to come your shows. Do you play versions of your favorite bands in the concerts?.
If you want to have a good time...come to a Ha Ha Tonka show!!! We don't play many covers, but with this being our first time abroad on tour, we'll take a stab at anything to try to make folks happy.
