A Few Words: When they were emerging in their home town of Houston, TX, the Houston Press warned readers that these guys would be "all over the blogs from here to London." While they haven't yet crossed the vitural ditch, Hungry Villagers are getting a few nods here and there. Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't blown up by now. Maybe it's early. Maybe it's the time of year. Maybe it's because they haven't yet released anything . . . actually, that probably has a lot to do with it. But the wait is over. Tomorrow, Hungry Villagers will let loose their first EP Little Fingers digitally and on vinyl, a track off which you can download here for free (aren't I nice to you?). And if you're lucky enough to be at SXSW, they're playing Thursday at Hilo (301 W. 6th Street).
Download "Tree Full of Ghosts" from Hungry Villagers' new EP Little Fingers.
