BAND HISTORY In 1999, Songwriter Dan Messé and Producer Gary Maurer teamed up and decided to produce a record. Dan and Gary's friend, Steve Curtis, quickly hopped on the bandwagon, but none of them knew any potential singing talents for the band, so the band placed an Advertisement in The Village Voice , but pulled the ad after being overwhelmed with an onslaught of demo tapes. Later, a woman by the name of Sally Ellyson called Messé in response to the ad, but cautioned that she wasn't really a "singer". In an attempt to satisfy her, Dan skeptically asked for a demo but was surprised when he heard the very spare tape, a sample of unaccompanied classical lullabyes that Sally had made for the son of a long-time friend. Messé was impressed — Hem had found itself a singer, and so began the development of the collection of music that would later be known as '' Rabbit Songs ''. ''Rabbit Songs'' was a mild success, receiving press coverage on Records delayed the release of their second album, '' Eveningland ''. ''Eveningland'' was also a success, with positive reviews coming from domestic music media such as {Link without Title} . Hem's third album, '' No Word From Tom '', is set to be released by Nettwerk in 2006. It is a combination album of cover songs (similar to their EP '' I'm Talking With My Mouth ''), live versions songs from prior albums, and new material. TRIVIA
