In addition to a couple of months of planning, it took 44 days from recording to release of June IND’s unplugged version of “Come to Hand,” a popular song from bandmates Chris June and Emily Larimer’s former group Chemcoma.

Recorded in “about three takes each” according to vocalist, guitarist Chris June, the Lafayette, Indiana rock band (including vocalist, percussionist Emily Larimer and special guest vocalist, violinist Justice Fuller) was joined by photographer Dave Mason (ISPhotographic) and engineer Neil McTavish at REC Room Recording. Mason and McTavish captured the recording session in picture and sound, respectively.

Please unwrap that CD and give the neighborhood some hell.

Tear down, close your tab, pack the van, pound water, eat a late night breakfast, unload the van, try to sleep, merch inventory, misc. accounting, update the contact list, follow peeps on Instagram & Twitter, and, finally, a thank you blog post… it’s a post-show ritual of a weekend warrior.

Combined with the multi-month, pre-show ritual of booking, writing/sending press releases, hanging posters, developing social content, scheduling posts, practicing, loading, setting up, etc., it’s all a damn good reminder that you better enjoy every second of every show that you play.

June IND sure did AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE THAT SPENT THEIR TIME AND HARD-EARNED MONEY ON FRIDAY!!

Thank you Carnahan Hall for the space & sippies, Kenny for the sound, The Clutter & iamlion for the rock, Citizens for Civil Rights for signing up folks to vote, Dave for bringing pics, Jimmy for taking live pics, the IND gals for handling the IND store, Stout for handling door, Domenica & Erik for the promo help, and everyone that helped us celebrate the #HillsterHipbilly release.

We really hope everyone had a great time and made it home ok. If you didn’t personally receive a hug or handshake from us at the show, we owe you two next time.

Please unwrap that CD and give the neighborhood some hell.

See you at the next one?

-Chris

June IND surprised when delivery man doesn’t burst into flames
New CD #HillsterHipbilly arrives, Carnahan Hall release show October 2nd

LAFAYETTE, INDIANA — Recorded in places hit by a tornado, that have caught fire, and that were relocated due to divorce, singer/guitarist Chris June had his camera app loaded as the delivery guy approached his Lafayette home with a box of CDs.

“Thankfully, he made it out alive, but he may have caught fire on the original delivery date, instead,” says June.

#HillsterHipbilly, the new CD from local rock band June IND was supposed to be delivered on Friday. It was also supposed to be released any time between now and the three-year-minefield that has elapsed since the group anticipated it going public.

“We (June and drummer Emily Larimer and bassist Drew Luigs) are far from superstitious, but in order to keep a clear conscience, we started warning people that had interest in working on the project,” says June.

Now that people can hold a copy in their hands and blast it on their stereos, the members of June IND are offering a different warning. “The release show at Carnahan Hall is going to be a riot,” says Luigs. “A good-time-kind-of-riot,” Larimer adds.

The official release show will be Friday, October 2nd at Carnahan Hall (800 Main Street) in Downtown Lafayette. June IND will be joined by bands/friends The Clutter (Lafayette) and iamlion (Indianapolis). Work from CD Art Designer Rikx (Rikx.com) and CD Photographer Dave Mason (ISPhotographic) will be on display. Citizens for Civil Rights will be on hand to register voters. $5.00 Hipbilly Drink specials (PBR + a shot of Rye Whiskey) will be available during the show.

The first 50 people through the door will receive a complimentary copy of June IND’s #HillsterHipbilly. After that, folks will have to wait for future shows to have a chance of getting it. #HillsterHipbilly CDs will not be available for sale nor will the music be streaming online. RSVP

Request “A Little Bitterness” on Erik’s Eatery on BOBFM at noon by calling 765.471.9653 or commenting at bit.ly/EriksEatery.
