How did all of this occur? The Harlingtox story
was hatched in Washington, D. C. in the spring and summer of 1990.
It's very 1990-like. It reeks of Bush/Quayle annoyances and growing
pains in general. Harlingtox was never a band, there has never been
a Harlingtox show. It was musically arranged by Dave and Tos, probably
first conceptualized in Europe during a Scream/God tour the previous
year. Tos came to live in D.C. for half a year or so. He had been
playing guitar in a band in Holland called God. Dave was drumming
for Scream, preparing for what would be Scream's last tour during
the time of this recording. Dave had recorded down the street in
Arlington , VA at Barrett's Laundry Room Studios during his time
drumming for Dain Bramage & Mission Impossible before Scream. Barrett
was playing guitar and singing in Churn which was after he had fronted
the bands Bark and 11 th Hour. He had been operating the Laundry
Room Studio for 6 or 7 years at this point. Various teen bands referred
to it as Downwater Studios or Upland Studios. This is simply not
true. It was, is, and always will be the Laundry Room Studios. Bruce
met Dave 5 or 6 years prior through Phil who was close friends with
Dave. When Dave asked Bruce to sing, he said yes. He was way way
in between 9353's. He had
been deranged, exchanging the Scorpios and had just come out of
a bad farm experience. Tos found Bruce right where he could be found
in those years, at the bar of D.C Space and asked him to sing. Bruce,
remembering having told Dave he would, did, suggesting it be called
Harlingtox. Then, the whole concept froze in time. The rest
was not history until now. Barrett moved Laundry Room to Seattle
with Dave. He was Dave's drum tech for most of the time Dave drummed
for Nirvana. Now he continues playing guitar and singing with Churn
and produces other bands, and operates Laundry Room Records with
Justin Goldberg. Dave still lives in Seattle whenever he's not playing
guitar and singing in Foo Fighters. Tos is living in Holland and
is in between bands. He will rock again! Bruce is still singing
and playing guitar with or as 9353.
He still lives in Washington , D.C where he is so in sync musically
and fashion-wise with that city that relocating is heinously unthinkable. |
