About Me |
|
We Are THE HUGS from the pacific Northwest of Portland, Oregon! We play heart-filled 60's garage rock n' roll We all have had former lives lived in the 60's. We spent time mining garage pop, died in low speed Corvair crashes, and have been reincarnated to continue what was previously denied by untimely death. We have been through a lot together We will be seeing you all very soon! LOVE The Hugs * Watch the funny video's at . . .

Music:Member Since: 4/24/2005Band Website: WWW.TheHugsGoWild.COM Band Members: Influences: Sounds Like: "Trust us these scamps will blow your indie disco scenester socks into oblivion and show you what "the real darlings of pop rock" are all about" -1965 "Danny Delegato is a profoundly gifted secret gem-of-a-musician. He is a native of the new indie headquarters of Portland, Oregon. Danny often prefers to be in the company of older people rather then the high school scene, and for good reasons. After just five minutes of talking to the shy 18 year old musician, I could tell that his mind is often ahead of his physical growth. Danny has a greater sensual, imaginative, intellectual, and emotional outlook on life and song-writing. A true intellectual singer-songwriter who could very well be one of the most important singer song-writers of our time" -God "The Young fellas in THE HUGS play music that appropriately, feels like having two big, warm arms wrapped around you, an embrace of pop jangles, garage rock riffs, angsty yelps and bittersweet harmonies. And this Portland based band troupe isin't just charming the locals: British weekly NME have been plugging the band lately and A&R guy James Endeacott (Known for discovering The Strokes) has signed them and like's 'em too." -DCC "After seven long years of playing music together and after numerous bands and lots and lots of good ol' hard Indie DIY, Danny Delegato & Kelly Mckenzie are finally starting to get recognized for their 'wild and crazy antics' and catchy high school inspired pop anthem's. Danny Delegato & Kelly Mckenzie (Founders and Song-writers) are both 19 years of age. Their band THE HUGS is finally starting to look like 'Portland's next big breakout'. Surprisingly enough The Hugs infectious songs are even also mass market material too." - "The Hugs is a fitting name for this ambitious group of starry-eyed, still-wet-behind-the-ears Portland teenagers.Only months removed from their high school graduation, the Hugs apparently caught the attention of prominent British rock photographer Roger Sargent in 2006, after band frontman, err frontkid Danny Delegato pursued him on Myspace. Delgato's persistence paid off and the band will spend this spring recording in London, under the supervision of their label, UK-based 1965 Records.The Hugs produce a young yet confident British invasion sound reminiscent of the Kinks, the Stones and contemporaries Arctic Monkeys and the Libertines. Virtually leap-frogging Portland's indie rock rat race, these kids are rumored to be talking with state-side major label Sony/Columbia. Not bad, huh?
