Troubled Hubble is an indie rock ensemble originating from Chicago, Illinois.

Their track "I Love My Canoe," featured on the album Penturbia, gained rotation on college radio stations in 2003.

History

Throughout a span of six years, Troubled Hubble delivered over 400 performances throughout the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, and completed two tours in Canada. This extensive touring helped them cultivate a devoted fan base among both college and mainstream listeners. In June 2004, the band recorded their concluding album, Making Beds in a Burning House, at Inner Ear Studios located in Washington D.C., with production led by Jason Caddell, former guitarist of Dismemberment Plan. Released in 2005, the record attracted notable media coverage, earned the title Band of the Day from SPIN, and was supported by an extensive U.S. tour alongside Maxïmo Park. Shortly after performing at a CMJ showcase, the group declared their disbandment due to personal and health concerns, culminating in their final concert at Schuba's in Chicago on September 29, 2005.

On June 30, 2015, Troubled Hubble revealed their return after a "brief 10-year hiatus."

Side Projects

Chris Otepka pursued his musical efforts with "The Heligoats," while Nate and Andrew Lantham have been leading "Kid, You’ll Move Mountains" since 2006.
