There are some acts I identify with HearYa more than others. Joe Pug, Strand Of Oaks and The Love Language to name a few. Ha Ha Tonka is chief amongst them. As I said to anybody who would listen, the thing that always separated Ha Ha Tonka from the others was the bond that Luke, Brian, Brett and Lennon shared. Normally the departure of a drummer wouldn’t really resonate so much, but hearing that Lennon was leaving left me feeling nostalgic. You can read his letter announcing his departure here.
Saturday’s show at the Sub-T in Chicago will be his last official show with the band and I’ll be there to celebrate his time with Ha Ha Tonka. Here’s a video we did with them back in 2009. Our two sessions with Ha Ha Tonka are here and here.
