Band: His Hero Is Gone
Title: The Dead of Night in Eight Movements
By Matt Farro
There used to be a record store in Sacramento, CA called Hindenburg Records and that’s where I first got this 7-inch. It was like walking into someone’s house, and they had everything a sweet (angry/evil) young boy like me could want. It felt like it was run by total elitists, and it probably was. I don’t remember anyone saying anything to me any of the times I went there. I never saw it packed with people, but I think they used to do shows there too.
I went to see His Hero Is Gone at Gilman Street before I bought this record, and for that point in time, they were the perfect band for me. It felt like they were my secret, and I had to run out and buy whatever I could find of theirs.
