THE HU
The Crocodile
Seattle, WA
10/20/23 (Night 1)
Two sold out shows in Seattle should tell you something about the popularity of The HU. Hailing from Mongolia, The HU has amassed a legion of fans worldwide in a relatively short period of time. They have been touring consistently around the globe and it definitely shows when you see them live.
The four-piece band (Jaya, Gala, Temka, and Enkush) is augmented with four additional touring musicians to create a stage of eight musicians.
As the lights dimmed, the voracious crowd started chanting louder and louder. The band shrouded in moody lighting hit the stage and basically never let up.
The traditional Mongolian instruments create a spirit that transfers to the listener. Anyone that’s seen them live knows what I’m talking about.
Such songs and video hits as, "Yuve Yuve Yu" and "Wolf Totem" were aired and sounded even better live. The headlining set was solid and left the fans wanting more. They chanted the band's name over and over again.
The concert was very ritualistic and absolutely painted pictures in my mind. Of ancient warriors ready for battle - the show was epic.
The Crocodile was packed as it was a sold out show. Sometimes, even with a sold out show, certain venues have space in the back corners and such to watch the gig. Not this time. It was wall to wall people in there.
Hopefully when the band returns to headline a new show(s) in Seattle, they’re in a theater such as The Moore (1800 seater). They’ve earned it and so have the fans.
Best,
