THE HUE

Beyond_Words

Brian Gilmanov - Drums

Kyle Meyers - Bass

Jared Rabin - Guitar

Marcus Rezak - Guitar

The Hue is aggressive progressive instrumental rock. Seamless, flowing compositions with furious musicianship and a sense of elation rarely found among progressive rock practitioners are the staple of The Hue's ever-expanding catalogue. The quartet brings the audience along for a barrage of rock's ferocity cut with jazz's meticulousness & sense of melody, all tied together with funk sensibilities that lead to unforgettable crests. The Hue  is the sonic version of building a precisely symmetrical museum for Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Return to Forever, and Miles Davis during the Bitches Brew era with just a dab of Tortoise, immediately torching it to the ground and starting over again.   

The band's bag of tricks has grown considerably within the last year to include simpler harmony-driven melodies that tell stories, even without lyrics, alongside searing tunes laden with odd-metered syncopated mayhem.  From grinding metal and rich post-rock to expressive harmonic jazz, the Hue takes a fiery dose of dueling guitars mixed with a machine-precise rhythm section to reach explosive peaks.

The band built its chops through prestigious jazz programs at DePaul University and Berklee College of Music, but bring a wholly inventive perspective to the table.  Guitarists Jared Rabin & Marcus Rezak interweave intricate lines, each adding a unique counterpoint to the other's distinctive style.  Bassist Kyle Meyers balances high and low registers to add an underlying harmony, while still maintaining clockwork rhythm. Drummer Brian Gilmanov's thunderous double bass trickery and flying speeds punctuated with lively, mathematical fills provide a rock-solid base.  

Emerging out of a weekly stint at Chicago's Wise Fools Pub in January 2007, The Hue has built an impressive roster of venues and festivals throughout the U.S., including stops at the 2008 and 2009 Summer Camp and 10,000 Lakes festivals.  They have played alongside Ray White, Ike Willis and Mike Keneally, all past collaborators with Frank Zappa. The Hue has also shared stages with the Wood Brothers, Karl Denson, Bryan Beller, Garaj Mahal, The Motet, New Monsoon and The New Mastersounds, as well as members of Umphrey's McGee and The New Deal.

The Hue released their first full-length album, Beyond Words, in the fall of 2009 to follow up their debut EP, Unscene (2007). The album, featuring keyboard virtuoso Eric Levy (Garaj Mahal), captures the intensity of the band's live shows, while showing their expanding compositional strengths and undeniable musical prowess.

"The Hue is one of a handful of Chicago bands who are forging ahead with a new style of fusion that is equal part rock's excitement and crunch, and jazz's experimentalism and harmonic sophistication. I hope that Beyond Words is indicative of the direction in which progressive work and modern jazz are headed."

- Paul Abella

Host, All Things Jazz 90.9FM WDCB

Contributor, Chicago Jazz Magazine

"More complex yet melodically sophisticated than a debut has any business being."

- Cal Roach

Jambase.com

"A gripping run through improvised sheets of heavy metal with liquefied and bluesy jazz."

- Bill Whiting

Honest Tune Magazine

"The band's complex interlace of dueling guitars and wordless verses sets the hook while its clear melodies keep listeners turned in."

- William Prentiss

The Columbia Chronicle

"Beyond Words is emblematic of The Hue's loyalty to progressive rock."

- Emilie Shumway

Dr. Dog: "There's a little folk, blues, indie rock, soul, bluegrass--and a whole lot of down-home harmonizing. It conjures images of old friends sitting on a porch swapping instruments and just letting the tape recorder run." - Philadelphia Weekly
SOJA: Hailing from Washington D.C., SOJA embodies the best qualities of Jamaican reggae music styling.
Everyone Orchestra: Matt Butler brings together a revolving cast of stellar musicians to conduct a celebratory, interactive, improvisational experiment that spans musical genres, breaking the boundaries of how an audience experiences music.
The New Mastersounds: This instrumental four-piece British export offers a modern take on vintage soul-jazz, funk and rock delivering gritty grooves and deep rhythms.

Nominated as a top finalist for Magic Hat's Sponsor Your Tour Contest (2009) and recognized as releasing a Most Notable VT Album of 2009, Bearquarium stands out as a breath of fresh air amongst your run-of-the-mill funk bands. The group released their debut self-titled album in July 2009, and is currently touring the northeast banging on drums in a town near you.


Here's what people are saying about Bearquarium:


"Rather than picking a genre and working within it, BQ pulls from the most soulful of styles, combines them through trial and error, and what comes out of the speakers is 100% pure, uncut, untainted good time music" (Lectric Pulp, 2010)


"Scene cornerstone for years to come... bursting with potential... professional polish" (Seven Days VT, 2009)


"Bearquarium live is tighter than tight... the sounds produced send a collective jolt of positive vibes into the crowd" (Lectric Pulp, 2010)
