Stream new songs! EP Review!
The kind folks at Draw Us Lines had some very nice things to say about our new EP:
“Big Hurry have been working hard and recording new material for a long time now. They’ve been playing their brains out in Pittsburgh, New York, West Virginia and more. Their last release was Silver Screens back in late 2009 and it’s been a favorite of mine since I first heard it. Talk about ...

A Few Pints w/ Big Hurry
“A Few Pints is a segment where we meet up with our favorite bands at a local bar, buy them a few beers, and hope they reveal the keys to longevity, wealth, fame, and the secrets of the universe…or we just bullshit with them for a while about their band, what they love, and what they are currently up to. Good times and free beer for them.”

First/Last Friday featuring Dani and Lenny
Check out Hugh’s weblog wherein he pesters “the driving rhythm section to the bombastic force that is Big Hurry” (his words, and who are we to disagree?) about our first records, last records, fave records, and more. It’s right here.

The Tripwire meets the band, comes away happy
We got some love from The Tripwire blog last night, who kindly pointed out how “adventurous” we are, with our “pop inclinations” and “ragged riffs, an implied affinity for lushness and some seriously fierce drum fills that sound like they’re coming for your family.” And we get extra points for being from Pittsburgh! Thanks, Tripwire guys. We assure you that...
The week that was: My Old Kentucky Blog and more!
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, friends and family (Happy Birthday Mom), so we apologize for not writing sooner. (Although, if you’re so inclined, you can follow us on Twitter — we update that thing obsessively.) Shows were played in Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, and Pittsburgh (it’s a city in Western PA). Lenny dropped his phone and destroyed it. Our...

Bad Ideas Dep’t Mix for July 5, 2010 by lennyflatley
Just because he loves you (and that’s all of you), Lenny made you a mixtape! So brace yourself for fifty-five minutes of four-to-the-floor dance, dub, and glam rockers lovingly clumsily mixed by everyone’s favorite bass player (aside from Jah Wobble and Macca). Features an exclusive remix of Tell Me (as well as quite a bit...

In the studio with Big Hurry
World premiere video! Kelly’s directorial debut filming the red hot soundcheck action at Big Hurry’s studio session at WRCT FM last month. As usual, Lenny and Andy stare blankly at their modern-day touchscreen smartphones while Dani actually plays a musical instrument. Check out our live version of Pushing Daisies from that night: here.

“Between releasing the Silver Screens EP last year and his band’s current work on a new six-song EP, Big Hurry bassist Lenny Flatley got restless. Working with the raw recordings of tracks laid down during the Silver Screens sessions, he pored over vocal and instrumental parts, experimenting with different arrangements and recording new pieces until his remixes were sturdy enough to stand on...
