HA HA TONKA

Event information

Ha Ha Tonka are making their return to Europe after a successful debut tour in Fall 2012. They will be gracing stages of clubs in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Benelux, Scandinavia and more as well as appearing at several festivals including Kilkenny Rhythm and Roots Fest (Kilkenny, IE), Cathedral Quarter Arts Fest (Belfast, UK) and Grass Roots Fest (MIddlesbrough, UK).

Named after Ha Ha Tonka State Park in their native Missouri, the band's relentless touring has seen them become one of the most buzzed about young bands in America, appearing at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Fest, Floydfest, SXSW, CMJ while touring nationally as a headlining act, as well as supporting many great bands such as Old 97s, Murder By Death, Langhorne Slim, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin, Ludo, Meat Puppets and more. On March 28, 2011 Ha Ha Tonka was a guest on The Travel Channel's flagship show, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. It was one of the first times in the show's 5-year run that a band has been invited to perform. The band’s most recent record Death of a Decade debuted on Billboard Top 200 and was followed by a near sold out CD release tour. The band will be recording their follow-up to Death of a Decade in March 2013 with producers Dan Molad (Elizabeth and the Catapult, Apollo Run) and The Ryantist.
