Above: We have no idea what the deal with the mustaches is in the promotional photo, but Hum doesn’t tour that often, and even with longtime drummer Bryan St. Pere absent for the Illinois rockers’ current tour, Thursday’s show at the Regent Theater figures to be pretty special. It’s been 20 years since “You’d Prefer an Astronaut” (and the single “Stars”), etched forever in our ’90s consciousness.
