One Cold Night in Seattle
It was May 4th, 1998. The Breakroom, Seattle, that curious construction worker themed venue that hosted some of the best bands in town during its tenure. If you were there you already know. If you weren’t you wish you were. This was the night that The Western State Hurricanes officially made landfall on the Jet City live scene and left a path of glorious rock destruction in their wake. Like the plaything of a mischievous, bored deity sick of the same old alternative music being peddled across town they came, they made us fall in love again, and they imploded.
And then in a blink it was over. Of course, the music of WSH would eventually re-appear in a new form with the much loved and respected The Long Winters, a new John Roderick fronted band, but it wasn’t exactly the same. It wasn’t...the Western State Hurricanes. They did, of course, make recordings, you will be ecstatic to know, but they never really saw the light of day. Until now...

With your help, Latent Print Records is very proud to announce that we will be releasing the oft whispered about unfinished recordings of the Western State Hurricanes for the first time ever on beautiful, beautiful vinyl. They have been lovingly given the proper care and treatment they deserve, of course, and will be a limited edition. This essential piece of Seattle music lore will be pressed on colored vinyl with original, amazing artwork.
Now not surprisingly, getting everything ready for this release isn't the easiest thing to accomplish financially. There's studio time to account for, mastering, graphic design, printing, pressing, etc. With that in mind, we've put together a pre-order campaign that offers up some pretty great perks to help us achieve our goal and greatly appreciate your interest and contribution.
Thank you so much for your time and support in helping get the word out.
-Pete (Latent Print Records) & John, Stephanie, Michael, and Bo (Western State Hurricanes)
