Biography

Huffamoose was an American rock band from Philadelphia active from 1992 until 2001.

Huffamoose was made up of Craig Elkins (vocals, guitar), Kevin Hanson (guitar, vocals), Jim Stager (bass) and Erik Johnson (drums). This lineup remained consistent until sometime in 1999 when Erik Johnson left the band after a tour stop on the Horde Tour and quit the band. He was replaced by Chuck Treece.

The group is best known for its hit single “Wait”, which reached #34 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts in 1998.

The song “Buy You a Ring”, from We’ve Been Had Again, was used in television advertisements for J. C. Penney.

The documentary “Here Comes Huffamoose” follows the band as they make the journey from being the probable next big thing to their ultimate demise. It was screened at the Silver Lake Film Festival in 2003. In the March 2004 edition of Premiere, Cameron Crowe named it as one the best rock movies of all time. The group reunited for live shows in 2009.

    Huffamoose did a reunion show at the World Cafe in their hometown of Philadelphia in January of '09. Here's a tune from the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nf0AL12iOA I was honored to catch it. It was a great night with many old familiar faces. There was a film made on their final tour, though I don't believe it's available commercially. From the band's Woodstock page: "The documentary "Here Comes Huffamoose" follows the band as they make the journey from being the probable next big thing to their ultimate demise. It was screened at the Silver Lake Film Festival in 2003. In the March 2004 edition of Premiere, Cameron Crowe named it as one the best rock movies of all time."

    Man, this is one of the great mysteries of music history, how these guys didn't make it huge or at least get recognized is mindblowing ... Wait, James, Enigmatic, & Buy You a Ring are some of the greatest tracks of the '90's ... mindblowing.
