figured I would make a news story out of this to put on the main page.

Basically, Jesse (powerkok)and Jake (hoser) and the only full time people left after both Matt & Mark left. granted, SteveO is still there, but he's also in neversaynever.

damn, what a bummer. I really enjoyed playing with those guys. They are cool guys and I sure hope that they get something else together so that I can see them around again.

Well, it's true. We didn't want to make any public announcements until we we're sure about this. We have had some difficulties getting together as we live pretty far from one another. I have a son due in May and a wife that has just taken a 2nd shift position working for the good ole' government. It has become quite difficult for us to keep a regular practice regimen, as most of us have kids and are married. Life has sort of gotten in the way as of late.

The parting, be it temporary or pemanent has been on amicable terms. We we're all friends before HCN and will remain friends. We are still contemplating recording an album so that the material that we have busted our asses on for the past year is not lost.

Jesse (powerkok) and I have decided that we will continue writing and recording various shit together, so you can expect some pretty nasty stuff coming out of the 2 of us and a killer drum machine. I see us moving into a more melodic, vikingish direction.

Steve is still playing bass in Never Say Never and with any luck, we'll get him to lay the bass tracks for our recordings. We may reunite for a show or 2, but who the hell knows. For now were gonna take shit 1 day at a time.

Thanks to everyone who has been there and supported us along the way.

That was me by the way.

Sorry.

Ya, same here.
Well be back in some form or another.

Horseshit!

I call shenanigans!

Indeed! WTF is this shit? Stop being gay, and get back together!

That sucks guys -- Matty mentioned something about it, but I wasn't going to say anything until you guys did. Are you guys still going to keep the jam space with us?

why does this always happen to the best bands?

Well, I won't be keeping the space. It would just be too far for me to drive. Besides, when have you ever known me to be able to get the rent in on time? If I could only get them to drive to my house to jam.....that would be awesome.

wow... that's the first thing to come from passerby that doesn't put him in front of a firing squad...

hoser: FAREWELL SHOW!!!!!

that is all!

Dunno about a farewell show....as far as Im concerned, HCN could very well be playing again in the near future.

It is a true hiatus, and not a 'break-up'.
(from the Moe thread, but Im lazy, and this pertains.)

Andols, when I asked Matty if we'd be keeping the room, he replied with
"I will"
Im not quite sure what that meant, but I have to come get my shit tomorrow, or at least most of it.
will u be there tomorrow?

Steve O is a big pain the ass.

well atleast we still have NSN

it's not much til we get this guitarist situation sorted out.

ok, fine then!! a going away show is in order!!!

I have to see you guys at least once more before you take a break (which you shouldn't do, but I'm not in all of your shoes, and I understand how life can be at times)

All Hail HCN!

on another (semi-offtopic) note:

TROLL!!! GET SENSELESS BACK TOGETHER!!!!

I saw Matty last night -- we are practicing Mondays instead of Tuesdays for awhile. It sounded like he didn't know what you were planning to do about the room. As far as I'm concerned, you are welcome to keep the room with the rest of us -- it would certainly help with the rent. Just call Matty and let him know what you want to do. I won't be there tonight, but I will be there Thursday night.

Man, I miss these days. Brought a wicked old thread back to life, though!!!

Haha, 5 years ago, almost to the day.

I miss it, dude. Those were some great days. I still have the dvd....GREAT production.

You should swing by Tom's in Hooksett some night when we're jamming, I think you would dig it. Usually Thursday nights. Stevus Christ even made a cameo last week. It's me, Matt, Tom, Jeff, and Duguay -- quite the collection of anti-social fuckers, indeed.

oh snap! dude is the man.

buncha slack jaw faggots in this circle jerk of a thread

shoulda been called hand stroke cock instead

LET THE TROLLING BEGIN!!!

Holy shit Duguay is still alive!?!??!?

Wow...now that's a blast from the LAZ past.

only teaching steve his own basslines before every show is real

Yeah, he actually quit drinking a couple of years ago, so he's doing alright.

Wow, I was just listening to HCN yesterday, weird.
