The Former Giant Diamond Ring
on
Austin's Middle Finger
Blair Scott Jack
Hosing down the cosmos with Casio keyboard driven sexual fury,
HUG spouted psychedelic, lo-fi, post-punk musick for the degenerate population
of Austin, Texas. Having survived for 15 years, HUG regularly soiled a
diverse selection of Austin nightclubs during that time including: Bates Motel,
Electric Lounge, Ego's, Emo's, Hole in the Wall, Stubb's, Red Eyed Fly,
Ruta Maya, Room 710, and Lovejoys to name a few.
During the early to mid 80's guitarist Jack Anderson played bass in the
Washington DC punk bands NO TREND and SKAM, both on DRAG CITY.
He's also known as "Gentle Jack" a man whose soothing phone voice can prompt
even the most stubborn bowels to move with alacrity.
Casioist Scott Van Horn, who, out of the three band members most closely resembles a small,
shopworn black girl, achieved fame and fortune as "Nova" in Rick Linklater's SLACKER.
He also managed Austin band ED HALL during the 80's and did the artwork
for their first two albums. Go ahead, ask him about his sex organs some time.
Vocalist Blair Bovbjerg spent most of the 80's perfecting devices and techniques for time travel by
which the sporting gentleman may visit and orally pleasure famous condemned women,
like that hottie Joan of Arc, just as they get executed. He also plays the theremin with
THE FUTURE OF AIR TRAVEL, THOR AND FRIENDS, and HELIOS CREED and is the author
of such paradigm shifting literary masterpieces as "Deep Deep Space" and "Commode Decision".
HUG squirmed in its cosmic embrace with the self-lubricating Larva God of Sodom, probing
eternally for the next fix of undulating fleshy entertainment, or whatever was handy.
The band ended its reign in 2011.
In 2019, THOR HARRIS curated the retrospective album A YOUNG PERSON'S GUIDE TO HUG
which was released on JOYFUL NOISE RECORDINGS.
