Back when videos resembled art more than some slick ad agencies sterile creation. Hazel was a great power pop band in the truest sense: Sloppy energy, melody and a wild danced named Fred Nemo.
Where are (were) they now (then)? "Krebs teaches guitar and performs Western swing music with the Portland Playboys, Bleyle has a family and performs with multitude of acts, including Team Dresch, bassist Brady Smith is a school principal in N.Y.C. and Nemo opened up a bookstore." www.oregonlive.com/music/2016/09/hazel_live_in_portland_again.html From their last live band shows I could find to promote the Live album I bought to complete my CD collection after 25 yrs since owning the original LPs, which I still own. =:xB
i was at the performance the live shots were taken from.......it was at la luna, although i enjoyed seeing them at the ex ray (oh hell) cafe much more.
Seminal. They aren't a part of my youth... They (and Cherry Poppin' Daddies circa Ferociously Stoned & Floater circa Sink/Glyph) ARE MY YOUTH! THANK YOU HAZEL! =:xB
