History
Houndmouth became a band in the summer of 2011. After playing locally in Louisville and Indiana,[1] they performed at the SXSW music festival in March 2012 to promote their homemade self-titled EP. Geoff Travis, the head of Rough Trade was in the audience and offered a contract shortly after.[2] In 2012, the band was named "Band Of The Week" by The Guardian.[3]
From the Hills Below the City (2013)
In 2013 Houndmouth's debut album, From the Hills Below the City, was released by Rough Trade. This led to performances on Letterman,[4] Conan,[5] World Cafe,[6] and several major festivals (ACL, Americana Music Festival, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Newport Folk Festival). SPIN and Esquire.com named Houndmouth a "must-see" band at Lollapalooza, and Garden & Gun said, "You'd be hard pressed to find a more effortless, well-crafted mix of roots and rock this year than the debut album from this Louisville quartet."[7]
Little Neon Limelight (2015)
The band's second LP, Little Neon Limelight, was released on March 17, 2015. It includes the single "Sedona". A live performance of Sedona at the El Rey theater in Los Angeles was featured on "Last Call With Carson Daly" Nov 18[8] and 27, 2015.
Katie Toupin Departure (2016)
On April 8, 2016, the band announced on Facebook that Katie Toupin left the band to pursue her own musical endeavors.
