(PR) Springfield, Missouri’s Ha Ha Tonka have busy months ahead, burning up the highways performing a high-octane mix of mountain harmonies and rock n’ roll in support of their Bloodshot debut, “Buckle in the Bible Belt”. Ha Ha Tonka will release “Buckle in the Bible Belt” on September 11th.Those heading to CMJ in New York shouldn’t miss their set at Bloodshot’s annual CMJ party at Union Pool in Brooklyn - Midwesterners have a plethora of performances to choose from, including the official record release party at Chicago’s Beat Kitchen the day the album hits stores.
What’s a Ha Ha Tonka? It's a nod to the boys' Ozark pride. It's the name of a state park in southwestern Missouri, full of natural bridges, sandstone cliffs, caves and a castle. That's right, a castle. Some crackpot rich guy built himself a Scottish style castle around 1900. It burned down, but the ruins are still an attraction. Thus, Ha Ha Tonka want you all to know there is more to their home stomping grounds than Branson, walnut bowl outlet stores and Jesse James' hideout.
