"the sun beamed off the name maurice" was recorded throughout the summer of 2000.
it is a follow up to the first troubled hubble ep. "slow plant entrance" TMS 1998
the main goal of troubled hubble is to provide fun and interesting, good, hard rock music... expressing the simple matters of life, keeping away from the grunge and metal and emo creative styles.
we like to have fun, we like to play fun shows, ... we're doing what we love, so we encourage the listening audience to do the same. dance, stand, cheer, boo, sleep, yell, come up on stage with us, fight, make out, lay down, or jump... etc... it's a simple theory, but the simple music is brought to new levels by the insane drum and bass funk rock of nate and andrew, and the sweet, melodic guitar and voice accompanyment of chris and josh.
everyone in the band or associated is friendly, and loving, and their is a constant search and drive to gain more friends, and happy faces in our audiences.
thank you!

Warm, familiar rock & roll that defies easy categorization
author: Doug Tye
Singer C. Hubble's voice is one that you'll immediately feel you've known for ages. Like the band itself, it's new and interesting, but comforting. Songs like "I Love my Canoe," "Everything's going to be fine" & "Meantime" are wonderful, indulgent rock and roll confections. When the band slows down and gets more introspective as on "Phones" and "Your Song" (which has very effective, swirling organ accompaniment), it serves as a nice change of pace & never resort to angsty whining. The bizarre "Dr. Bones" and "Lonesome Hawthorne" seem, at first, like one-off joke songs, but the rhythmic complexities, interesting progressions and suprising lyrical insights keep me coming back again and again... and again. The rhythm section of A. Hubble (bass) and N. Hubble (drummer (as in musician, not metronome)) keep things intense, but also know when to let the songs breathe. The only time the album slows down is during the bands' in-jokes, like "Mean Italian Ducks pt. 2" and "Tyra's Prancing Ferret." Maybe it's like one of Sonic Youth's latter day album & I'm not smart enough to get it. Buy this album -- you won't take it out of your player for weeks. Even the in-jokes are a ball to try and figure out.
