THE HULLABALLOONS (Portland, OR)
"For the Sake of the Sun"
Featuring Pat Kearns (Exploding Hearts Producer) and Diet D (Walker)
[CARNIVAL ROCK] The Hullaballoons have been around for roughly nine months, and in that time the band has made some serious advances. Not only has the group produced a new single (to be released tonight) but the sprightly jangle of advance track "For the Sake of the Sun" suggests a group whose primary influences are a well-distilled mix of caffeine and Harvey Danger. With the backing of Boogie Creek Records (whose stable fills out this bill), the Hullaballoons have a more than decent chance of taking their fake-mustached shenanigans to the carnival-esque surroundings they politely demand.
