HQAX calling it quits
One of Dayton’s most entertaining live bands HQAX announced Thursday that they are disbanding after their November 29th show at the Oregon Express.
Through a Myspace bulletin the band told fans: “November 29th will be our final show as HQAX. The four of us feel we’ve taken it as far as we can as HQAX and want to explore something different musically. We’re still the best of friends and will most likely be working with each in the future.”
HQAX was the creation of four local art students in 2002. They put out three studio albums including 2007’s No Less Impressive which earned them local and regional notice. CD’s and samples of the band’s music are available at their website www.hqax.com.
Comments from fans have been appearing on the band’s Myspace page ever since the announcement. Fans seem to be very supportive of the band and are excited to see them one last time on November 29th.
One fan wrote, “Is this what happens when Obama gets elected?”
Another writes, “I wish you all the best with whatevers next. its been a good run.”
I for one am a bit shocked by the news and want to ask the band if they would reconsider?
An HQAX show is always fun because the infectious power-punk rockers make it so. Their joyful stage energy makes every HQAX show unique, spontaneous, and unpredictable.
Not to mention they rock pretty hard too. Dayton will miss them.
