Bottom Of The Hudson

So I heard this news today. Really sad to hear this. My thoughts go out to the band and their families in this difficult time.

Bottom of The Hudson are a band from Brooklyn who I really wished I had gone and seen last week when they were on tour in Toronto.? Transforming from a one-man recording project, Eli Simon (main writer and singer) recently recruited local Philly and NY brethren to complete a 5 piece line up making sure to include keyboards, air organs, clarinets, or whatever instruments may be lying around at the time. The band is currently supporting the release of Fantastic Hawk (Absolutely Kosher), an LP that Paste Magazine says has “..moments when this album is amazing, and when it soars.”

The more I dig into this band who I hardly knew, the more I want to know about them. Start off here by listening to Bee Hive. Then, go looking for Handwriting. Find more on their myspace.
