HOLY SHIT!
Posted by on March 14, 2010
To all of you who had trouble getting in to our show at CMW this year we are truly sorry!  We did not anticipate the level of attendance for this show and we now realize that it is a shame we played a show in Toronto at a smaller club.  Honestly, we understand that many of our friends travel far distances to see us play and it is not cool that you were forced to wait in the rain or got turned away… (read more)
The German and the Birdman
Posted by on March 10, 2010
This was a shitty day.  When nothing goes the way I planned, I usually write lyrics and make myself feel better by getting all of my anger out.  I am going to try something different and write about one of the best times of my life.  That would be when we recorded our album inside a barn in Grand Bend, ON.  This is a long story but one that I feel truly defined HTV.   It all started at the end… (read more)

The Golden Producer
Posted by on February 17, 2010
Every band that has been together for a while has stories of injustices and heartbreak. When on the road it is common for bands to share their inner most secrets with each other and this perhaps serves as a bonding and trust process. Because it is so hard to survive in this industry it becomes crucial for artists to make those connections and helping each other may in fact be the best way to strengthen… (read more)
That Was Easy...
Posted by on February 10, 2010
Ever wonder what it would be like to tour the world for free? Stopping in major cities every day, seeing the sights, crashing in hotels and playing concerts seems like a fantastic job and for the most part it is. I can think of a million reasons why music is the best career on Earth, but none of those hold a candle to being on the road with your best friends. However, sometimes things go wrong and… (read more)
Party Crashers
Posted by on January 31, 2010
The first show Hail The Villain ever played was in the middle of a main street in Whitby, ON. It was done without a permit and more importantly it was done for a reason. Of course, there were a few venues that had small scenes in Oshawa and many in Toronto, but we didn't want to beg promoters to put us on shows when we really had no experience with a live audience. That in itself was a minor concern… (read more)
But.. my friends think it's cool!
Posted by on January 25, 2010
I don't watch television too often. When I do I usually flip on A&E and watch crime shows or Showcase in hopes of catching my favorite show The Trailer Park Boys. By now we should all know that reality t.v. is scripted, and I think it's better to take made up characters in a made up environment and make it seem like "reality". It may not be real but it's light years better and far more entertaining… (read more)
