about

"I first heard about The Huxtables in the early ’00’s and being a super fan of Slow Gherkin, knew I had to find out everything I could about this band. I spent hours listening on repeat to the songs uploaded on their MySpace page. When The Huxtables opened for Slow Gherkin on a short west coast tour, I somehow convinced my parents to let me (15) go alone with my friend Derek (16) from Phoenix to Anaheim to see their show at The Chain Reaction. We stayed the night with my O.C. SKA message board friend Fil (who I had not met IRL yet) at their parent’s house. The early age of the internet was a wild and very trusting place. The trip was a weird and awesome adventure, my first out of town show, and The Huxtables did not disappoint. I definitely think I loved them mostly because Matt, A.J. and James from Slow Gherkin were in the band but Colt (the lead singer) was wildly charismatic and could definitely rival James as front man material. I bought “Fire Is Sabotage” at their Chain Reaction gig and had that c.d. on repeat till that same tour came through AZ - I needed to make sure I could sing everything. One more weird and awesome memory that comes to mind when I think about The Huxtables was a few months after these shows and a few months before his death, Joe Strummer was doing an in-store at the Zia Records in Tempe. I went with a friend and wore my homemade Huxtables shirt. When I got up to the front to meet Joe, he looked at my shirt and said “The Huxtables, I know them.” I didn’t have the heart to say there’s no way you know this band… but maybe he did?! Maybe Joe Strummer and I were actually their biggest fans.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present - THE HUXTABLES!"- Emily Spetrino

**NOTE FROM HEIRLOOM RECORDS**
I was not able get in contact with The Huxtables to get permission to release this album. I tried really hard to contact Colt and after not hearing back for months and talking my BFF Emily, she convinced me to "just fucking do it" and release it without your blessing.

So... IF YOU ARE IN THE HUIXTABLES BAND AND YOU DO NOT WANT THESE RECORDINGS ONLINE ANYMORE PLEASE TELL ME and I will take them down without hesitation. I just really love this CDr I got from you when you played the Nile Theater back in 2002 and it was stolen from my car in 2006 and Emily still had her copy so we were still able to make this happen. I have nothing but love and respect for you beautiful people and only want to share your art/music with the world.
