  HIATUS DAWN™ is an American Futuristic Rock Act that has risen from the depths of the Midwest and has recently transplanted itself onto the Floridian landscape of Tampa Bay.

jOHNNY DEM, HIATUS DAWN's sole creator and mastermind, dared to share his musical vision with the world.  As a result, he created the stellar debut album in Aug. 97'.  Amazingly, EXOTICA was recorded within 24 hrs. of studio running time, at North 40 Studios, located in the basement of an Iowa farm house...a true "child of the corn".  Co-produced with accomplice Dave Russell, he single-handedly showed what one man can achieve with a driven solid vision of musicality.  As a result, he unleashed it onto everyone at a large 1000 witness Halloween bash celebrating the CD release.

    HIATUS DAWN's incredible sound is described by many as that of a delicate combination of both dream and nightmare, united in a twisted yet intriguing marriage of sonic landscapes.  It is future-real.  Drawing from influences and elements of bands ranging from The Sisters of Mercy, Dream Theater, Metallica, NIN, Iron Maiden, The Cure and everything in between, he found the perfect original balance in sound.  This clever orchestration of electronica, synthesis, distorted guitars and jaw crushing drum machines represents the psychOdelic calling card of the HIATUS DAWN sound.  Sprinkled in with its lead singer's deep tenor style of vocals and apocalyptic stream-of-consciousness lyrics and song writing, it captures the imaginations of all who listen to its strange and twisting beauty... ...In time, HIATUS DAWN's creator felt that it was done feeding off of the drained regions of the Midwest.  It needed to find a new host in order to propagate... a larger host.  This new host is Florida, and is known to be an excellent breeding ground for such a parasite to continue thriving.  It would find new ears to crawl into and grow.  Nothing would kill it. HIATUS DAWN would continue to thrive; growing stronger, stranger, hungrier and more involved.  People begin to speak of it...This sinister act is known to single-handedly annihilate many that share the same stage...It continues pulling a new cast of accomplices into the feed as well, with NEW music pouring forth,  HIATUS DAWN would soon unleash itself onto this strange new scene like a ravenous plague of locusts...
