We Love Houses, the Band!

Posted by Gavin


The story behind Houses is an inspiring one. After getting fired from his job, Dexter Tortoriell & his girlfriend Megan Messina left the mainland to live in Hawaii, learning how to live off of the earth.  
“I got laid off from my job at the end of last year and decided I needed a change. My girlfriend put in her two weeks and we moved out to a little cabin in Papaikou, Hawaii. It’s a pretty remote place outside of Hilo (i.e no plumbing/electricity/gas). We worked for meals during the day cultivating microorganisms and learning the basics of sustainable living. We drank showered and cooked with rain water. In our downtime, she would paint and I would record."
The band’s debut album, All Night comes out tomorrow via Lefse Records

You can hear “Soak It Up”, a song from All Night that’s available for free download.
