First of all, the hermans pride ourselves on setting our music apart from that of other bands. Missoula has a rich rock and roll scene but it is currently saturated with indie rock bands and other various gimmick/image based music. We believe music should always come before image and this is definately proven in our live performance.
The current hermans lineup has been around Missoula since 2004 and we would have toured sooner but our drummer (like that of any good rock band) fell victim to a serious accident (table saw) and nearly lost his hand. The doctors gave him a recovery time of over six months but the hermans played their highly anticipated comeback show within a month and a half. They then proceeded to tour the Pac-Northwest in January 2007.
In addition, the hermans have played over 75 shows state-wide and elsewhere since their birth.
By the way, do any other non-signed bands have an international book coming out about them? the hermans: Stalking America, published by Running Press, will be in bookstores October, 2007. It is the running, living journal of a working rock band from Anytown, USA. We will be touring to the East coast in June, including a stop in New York City for Book Expo America to christen the book, so to speak.
We saved our "inlfuences" until the end because they are too ecclectic a mix to accurately describe our sound. Each member of this band comes from diverse musical backrounds but somehow molded to become the four-headed rock monster known as the hermans. But if we must, we will each give you one or two influences which probably won't help at all but fuck it:
Dave: the Pixies, The Who Derk: Walt Mink, Rush Chris: Jango Reinhardt, AC/DC William: the Beatles, Wilco
So there you have it, eight of over a thousand. Thanks.
