Hallux from NYC/Brooklyn consists of 3 Atlanta transplants that made a mark on the Atlanta local music scene back in the 90's. (Jake Klotz is the vocalist for Hallux, not from the ATL) Hallux is dirdge metal, sluggish, heavy drop C? tuning sort of stuff.
Andrew Barker on guitar. He still plays with Atlanta Jazz greats the "Gold Sparkle Band." They were one of my favorites acts back in Atlanta during the 90's and still going strong in NYC. (Charles Waters is still involved). They relocated to NYC. Andrew was also in another GREAT Atlanta Band called "Melts."
Myspace for more projects from Andrew.

Jason LaFarge was a band member and good friend of mine in Pineal Ventana. He moved to NYC and started his own recording studio in Brooklyn. Seizures Palace is "Home of the Gowanus Sound." He has worked with names such as Akron Family, Michael Gira and Devendra Banhart. (many others) Jason is a busy guy and has a few projects going including Hallux and Blue Prostitutes.

Hans Chew played in numerous Atlanta bands and drums in Hallux. Funny how all these guys ended up playing metal in NYC! I always knew him as a drummer round these parts but his piano and keys playing is out of this world! He also plays in a NYC band The Helix which is the backup band for Dave Shuford. (another Atlanta transplant)under the name D Charles Speer.
