The Hu: 'The Hun Tour,' upcoming second album

After being locked down in Australia for months when the COVID-19 pandemic began, and then staying home in Mongolia for nearly a year, The Hu Band hit American shores again on September 1 for The Hun Tour North America 2021, playing major festivals and headlining their own shows.

During the lockdown, the band did a lot of recording for their second album. And right before the band left for this tour, they finished the recording on those songs. So the second album is coming, soon.

The Hu Band continues their North American tour through Halloween before embarking on a run of dates all across Europe in early 2022. For all the details of the tour, or to find the band’s music, visit thehuofficial.com.

Comprised of musicians playing traditional Mongolian instruments along side electric guitars and drums, the band burst onto the music scene in 2018 with their YouTube videos for songs “Yuve Yuve Yu” and “Wolf Totem.” Those two videos now have a total of nearly 145 million views combined. “Wolf Totem” reached number one on Billboard’s Hard Rock Digital Song sales, becoming the first Mongolian act to top any Billboard chart.

They’re first album, “The Gereg,” arrived in September of 2019, with an expanded deluxe version arriving in July 2020. The band has re-recorded several of their songs as duets with American artists such as Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach, From Ashes to New’s Danny Case, and Halestorm vocalist Lzzy Hale.
