Hangedup

Hangedup are an experimental rock duo from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, featuring Genevieve Heistek on Viola and Eric Craven on drums and percussion.[1] They combine viola with strong percussion, sometimes using self-made instruments, to create intense experimental post-rock music.[2]

History

Both Heistek and Craven performed with the band Sackville. Heistek was also part of The Mile End Ladies String Auxiliary, Set Fire to Flames, HṚṢṬA, and Land of Kush. Craven was associated with Shortwave, HṚṢṬA, and formerly Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band.[3]

In 1999 they came together to form Hangedup, and were signed in Montréal by Sackville's label, Constellation Records. Their first album, self-titled, was recorded at Hotel2Tango studios and released in 2001, and "Kicker in Tow" the next year. Clatter for Control came out in 2005.[4][5][2]
