Sudden Rock: A Brief Summary of Hands Down Eugene for the Layman
and/or College DJ and/or Clive Davis.

Hands Down Eugene to reinvent the triangle again with two new e.p.'s!

Grand Palace Records hereby shall release unto the world White Stone
and Black Witch. Let it be so for free for a short time in the form
in which it will appear on the upcoming 12" VINYL
RECORD release "White Stone (side-A) & Black Witch (side-A). The
e.p.'s, being separate entities will each inhabit their own plain
physically and their own files, digitally. The vinyl will also
contain a free download card for a digital version of the record.
Also to be thrown into the ring will be the peppy kid brother of the
vinyl monster, also called "White Stone & Black Witch", with a
somewhat altered, dare-we-say EXPANSIVE SOUNDSCAPE form in
technology's little buddy, (the digital download store) sold mp3
format. This version will not only be a bigger bang for your speakers
but will include a few bonus tracks with album purchase. That's not
only more music, that's more songs! There are no plans to release a
compact disc version of these e.p's at this time in protest of our
unjust war on dark sorcery.

Black Witch record albums!

White Stone (or "Dit is het stenigen van bloed van mijn volk. Wij
delen in haar lust en haar vragen om vergiffenis. Om die wij bieden
onze on kruid en de geesten." in its native tongue) took its shape
from 1,346 potential songs recorded on a four-day peyote binge in the
frozen jungles of Greater China. All of the songs are loosely based
on the theme of finding one's clone in the vast expanse of Her Mother
Universe's Arms. Do we find our clone or do we find ourselves? White
Stone!


Black Witch (or "Seguire la linea fino a quando gli occhi croce.
Raggiungere nella tua tasca e riempirlo di semi. Ci guardano per il
vostro segnale, mentre la crescente erbacce." in its native tongue)
took its shape from 453 potential songs recorded on a six-day giraffe
execution in the swampy deserts of Mid-North Canada. All of the Songs
are loosely based on the theme of killing one's clone in an underwater
snow cave in Space. Do we kill our clone or are we killing ourselves?
Black Witch!

The records recorded at Battle Tapes Recording with Hands Down Eugene
were all done live to 2-track atari cartridge, on a house boat (Battle
Tapes House Boating) in Percy Priest Lake from 1992-2007. Somewhere
in the middle of making one of the records, Moody drowned while doing
an underwater vocal overdub. Replaced by Sammy Haggar's song, Bryce
Haggar, Hands Down Eugene will (hopefully) soon be touring with Haggar
senior on a Mexican Holiday Tour to be known as "A Very Wabo Cabomas
to Everyone!"

Matt Gunar Moody, MDA (Lead Vocals, Lead Bass, Lead Beard), left the
experience of making the Shadow Plains cult Favorite, Madison (xoxo
records, 2005), with the taste of milk and honey. After a lavish
month celebrating its release with a whirlwind "Tour of the Vengeful
Deserts", he found himself malaria-stricken, road-weary, clinging to
his beard in his half-awake, half-asleep coma of desperation that had
taken over what was once the life of a
shaggy-haired-care-free-peace-touting-flower-tossing-neon-throwing-lightning-rod-miracle
of a pop superstar.
On February Twenty-Eighth, Twenty-O-Six, Moody climbed from his bed a
bald, heavily-bearded, whisp of a man --But a man, none-the-less!--
and rang his Latin/Japanese/Chinese/White butler to find him a glass
to toast with! he had written his next epic masterpieces ENTIRELY IN
HIS DRUG-ADDLED, POST-MALARIA-ENCRUSTED, FANTASTIC MIND!

Jeremy Ferguson (Lead Engineer/Producer) records all the music. His
day job is as a mechanic. He dreamed of being a frontman in a band
ever since he saw Marcy Playground at a halloween party in his
hometown, White Bridge, PA. Growing up a Quaker was tough but
Ferguson was always willing to put on a show.

Matt Martin (Lead Drummer) is the Author. They had music before he
joined the group but it took on a life brand new with his vision, his
whole take on non-melodius melodies, and the whole more is less than
more of nothing approach. Don't even get me started on the whale
sounds.

Andy Willhite (Lead Guitar, Second rank Vocalist) was raised in the
jungles of Peru by spider monkeys, went on to complete his G.E.D., and
operates his own line of breakfast trucks ("Andy's Famous Pork Links &
Waffle Iron Hour!") when he's not attending classes at G.I.T.

Matt Rowland (Lead Piano and Organ) is blind, likens himself to
Richard Pryor in See No Evil, Hear No Evil (with Gene Wilder), has
always been bi-curious towards houses, and is very proud of his
achievements in bowling for the blind, which involves neither bowling
nor blind people.

Mason Vickery founded Orphans without Seals to make sure all the
children of the world could know of Seal's love. Seal, as you know,
has sold many records. Mason also arranges the seating in the VW
expanded Beetle-come-Bus-come-Tour Bus while the band is touring.

Todd Kemp left the band tragically in 2002 to form his own
breakdancing crew called Steppin for Jesus!. He dances for the Lord in
tiny churches all across the Congo.
