Bio
Low Hums are Jonas Haskins, Miles Panto, Bill Patton, Mike Bayer and Chris Early. From Seattle Washington .. Electric Guitars, Banjo, More Guitars, Drums, Bass Guitar, Amps, Fuzz, Reverb, Delay....
We've been playing around greater Cascadia since 2009 and released a self - titled LP/Tape in 2012. 2013, we signed to Fin Records, recorded our second full length at Avast! with Randall Dunn, rallied to SXSW in March playing shows every day ( and sometimes many a day ). September saw another tour of the west coast and south west.
Miles, Bill and I have been pretty much at it since the beginning, just us and our guitars with a few other good friends helping us out along the way.. A collective !! We started as kind of a drone rock folk band and have now greatly expanded and adopted a more rock n roll sound .. aka more fun.
In early 2013 Mike joined us on drums. Mike, in addition to being a great drummer/singer, 'had' ( we only got to use it a few times ) a very cool practice room and said "Yes" a lot.
( today, he still maintains a positive can do attitude ) Chris, the most recent ..
has taken over the bass playing .. lives within a stones throw away in west seattle. ( close location, a must have ) We're all south enders, except for Dr. Bill Patton, who lives in a exclusive neighborhood on Capitol Hill. Bill spends most of his days NOT practicing his guitar, but on the Golf Course**.
**Golf, as most of us are new to .. ( in this group ) , we've actually discovered a excellent way to waste a few hours of downtime while on tour. It's cheap, usually it's in a nice place ( not like back alleys behind grungy clubs ) and there is always a bar! - a touring revelation to find these little oasis .. ( you can sleep in your car there too ).
In 2014 we're looking to release the new Low Hums rock n roll record 'Charm' via Fin Records, play more local summer festivals, play KEXP, play basements, house parties, record a new 7", play more .. get in the Van, make some videos, beat on goat skin drums .. get on down the
