Our 2012 Quantum Jaunt Tour kicks off in Taos, New Mexico on January 05 followed by shows in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Truth or Consequences and Silver City before heading over to Arizona to play Tucson, Cottonwood and Prescott. We then head to Los Angeles to showcase at the NAMM show and play at Genghis Cohen. Then there’s Maui and the Mystic Island Festival followed by a Northern Cali run once we get back on the mainland. We PROMISE we’ll be updating and blogging as the tour rolls on and we’ll also be sending out emails with more information on the upcoming shows.

In December 2011, Moksha and JemalWade of HuDost made a visit to IDHHB (E.J. Gold’s Work community in Grass Valley CA). Within moments, after a 6AM breakfast was had, E.J. said “Let’s go make some music!”. Along with Claude Needham with bass in hand, they proceeded to the barn studio (while yawning relentlessly) with Master engineer extraordinaire Oz Fritz and made music continuously for over 4 hours; improvising, telling jokes, laughing, making strange shamanic and psychedelic soundscapes, trying out old folk songs, and a few ’4th Way Work song classics’. Eventually, Iven Lourie showed up with his violin and Tabatha Jones joined in on various percussive objects.

Oz meticulously captured the invocational happenings on multi-track and sent the sessions to Jemal Wade who proceeded to edit the most magical sections of the session down to an hour of essential material. JW and Moksha then proceeded to overdub harmonies, and add bartione guitar, electric sitars, more feedback, synth layers and other production arrangements to the material to render what is now a beautifully cohesive and seemingly ‘planned’ CD of ‘improvised, experimental folk, ambient comedy’.

The CD is verrry close to being ready for release. We are now offering a number of special ‘Pre-Sale Packages’ below to help raise the money to finish the project. These prices and packages will only be available for a limited time. As soon as the album comes out, this pre-sale will end.

Everything is planned to be shipped TO YOU by Christmas so place your orders now!

Here’s a nice review of our recent Knoxville show at the Speakeasy in the Preservation Pub from the Blog ‘Stuck inside of Knoxville’ by Urban Guy. We played with three other great acts that night and you can read the entire review here but we wanted to post the bit about HuDost below:

“HuDost performed next and they are difficult to categorize. “Country and Eastern” is one of the phrases on their facebook page, I believe and that’s pretty apt. This is another duo in which it is difficult to tell if “HuDost” is the nomme de guerre for lead vocalist/harmonium player Moksha Sommer or for the band which also includes Jemal Wade Hines on vocals, (amazing) guitar and anything else with strings along with a complicated arrangement of electronics. The music was hypnotic without becoming boring, melodic but not predictable and exotic without seeming completely foreign. You just have to go to their page and listen. Based in Montreal and New York, this is a musical act that deserves a very large following.”
