A Pic of Me w/Mr. Diken

Yes, I realize the Sox cap looks like a thimble on my head. It's an X-X-X that shrunk in the rain. I'm gonna have to trade up another X or two.

Dennis even looks like he likes me. Good man that Dennis.

Dennis Diken & Bell Sound

Your may have heard us play "The Sun's Gonna Shine In The Morning" by Friend of The Hound, Smithereen Dennis Diken's new band Bell Sound. Caught 'em this past weekend at the Vintage Vinyl in-store & they were outstanding. Their first proper gig is tomorrow night at NYC's Bowery Electric (located 1 block down from where CBGB's was next to The Bowery Hotel). In addition to Pete DiBella, Bell Sound currently features the great Chris Butler (ex-The Waitresses).

You can buy Dennis Diken with Bell Sound's Late Music here.

Another Harvard Sq. Instiution Bites The Dust

Literally. Most of The Houndstooth Gang has lived in/around Boston. I grew up on what was then the opposite end of The Red Line. For me Cambridge's Harvard Square was an easy, early & non-threatening escape fro Suburbia. My heart broke a bit when I learned Out-of-Town had closed. This week The Houndstooth Banner flies at half-staff for Brother Blue.

Dear Blog,

I've ignored you, neglected you & treated you shabbily in general. Since we last spoke Houndstooth has a new logo & all sorts of new stuff. We'll talk soon. Love you. Bye.
