New Show in London |
| Congratulations, London! You're the latest city to get a Hem show. See the band at Union Chapel on October 11. Tickets go on sale at 10am on May 16. More details about this and all other upcoming shows are on the tour page. |
May 4 New York Videos |
| Here are a couple new videos from Hem's May 4 New York show, full performances of "Departure And Farewell" and "Idle." They're both tragically dark, but you get the beautiful idea. In other video news, another animated video is on the horizon, this time for "The Jack Pine." If you missed them before, check out the animated videos for "Tourniquet" and "Seven Angels." |
May 4 New York Photos |
 |
Click on the little image to the left or visit the May 4 show page to see some photos of Hem at The Bowery Ballroom in New York. (Thanks to Keith for the last few rows of photos!). Video is still on the way! You can find a permanent link to these and many other concert photos at the tour pictures archive. |
Hear the May 4 New York Show |
| If you missed Hem's show last Saturday at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, cry no more because now you can hear it! Visit here to download or stream not just Hem's complete set but also the whole opener from Dawn Landes, who played a lot of songs from her upcoming album, which sounds good. Go, listen, now! (Thanks, Keith!) And as promised in the last news update, I really do have pictures and video from this show on the way soon. |
May 4 New York Setlist |
| Click here for the setlist from Hem's show last night at the Bowery Ballroom in New York. "Idle" finally made a 2013 appearance! (Thanks, Dan.) The full band was on hand including special out of town guests Bob (pedal steel & dobro) and Heather (violin). Pictures, audio, and video from the show will be here soon. For now, here is a video of the band performing "Half Acre" at the show. |
The Leonard Lopate Show |
Hem performed live today on WNYC's The Leonard Lopate Show. The interview and live performance can be streamed or downloaded here or streamed below. (And it's Ellyson, not Ellysin. Ellyson! Poor Sally having more name misspellings with this album than all the others put together. Spelling error is now fixed at WNYC's site! Let's all assume that WNYC reads All About Hem.) The program runs: interview - "Tourniquet" live - interview - "So Long" live - interview. You can find a permanent link to this radio spot at the interview archive. |
Meanings Update |
| From today's interview, the Departure And Farewell meanings page has been updated to include some words from Sally about the song "So Long," and the miscellaneous meanings page has a rare update with a little bit more about the band's name. Funnily enough, the previous last entry for Hem's name was from another WNYC visit, one on the program Soundcheck back on April 14, 2005. You can stream that oldie below (Hem's segment starts at about 31:45). |
Echoes Radio Show |
 |
On April 23, Hem recorded an interview session for Echoes, a syndicated national public radio program. Their segment aired on April 30. Dan, Gary, Sally, and Steve all talk, as accurately described by the program, "about drugs, love, divorce, redemption and Hee Haw." The little photo to the left is the band at the studio. Click here to see another photo of Hem at the studio (though it looks like the band is playing a song here, the Echoes segment is interview only). You can listen to the show by finding a radio station that airs the program (the Echoes site has a big list by state, and most of those stations also stream online and have schedules that say when they air Echoes) or by buying an Echoes site membership that lets you stream the program right away. You can find a permanent link to this radio spot at the interview archive. |
