Hi Everyone,
My name is Ari. I have a band which is sometimes called Ari Hoenig and Punk Bop. Sometimes it's called other things like "Ari Hoenig and the Pussycats" "Ari Hoenig and the Cow Tones" " Ari Hoenig with Heavy Machinery" or even just "No Frills Band" So, after 2 months of crying because I didn't register with my space as a band, I finally figured how to put up some music on the site.
There's some video footage from my recent trip to Haiti, and from one of my solo gigs at 55 bar.
Oh and check out my website.
http://www.arihoenig.com
You can go there to find out when and where I'm playing, read interviews, see and hear my music and play the video game "Help Ari get to his gig on time". Hope you enjoy.

heyyyy I can't wait your show in Thailand. If you have free time in Thailand could you please come to faculty of music Silpakorn University for masterclass? Thanks
Hey Ari, just got myself a copy of Bert's Playground - what a terrific CD! I know how hard it is to capture the kind of energy you play with in the studio environment but you guys did a helluva job! I've seen you a bunch of times in Malmitalo and always enjoyed it, also hung out with you guys in the "karaoke place from hell" next door. Hope to see you again soon, all the best. Petri
Hey Ari. We're coming out to see you Sat at Chris'. It will be me, my wife, Brendan, Tara, and Chris. Can't wait to hear the Jazzheads stuff live. Love the samples on your site. See you then.
