   About Howlin Houndog & Infamous Loosers
New CD Out!


Listen to Howlin’ Houndog play Live on KPSU in Portland on 4/5/08
here

"Howlin’ Houndog, Loud ’n’ Live in the Studio" was cut (mostly) Live (with vocals) at Studio V (for Vagrant) in Seattle featuring variations of his Local and Touring band line ups of the Infamous Loosers. It is a stripped down version of the rootsy-bluesy-country-honky-tonkin’ music he likes to play. He is expecting to set up a short West Coast Tour sometime in 2008. Ask for it by name!

Erik Howlin’ Houndog 4-A has been around for many years.(he got his nickname from his harp playing style that makes dogs howl) From the beginning of his musical career in the 1980s through his formation of Vagrant Records of Seattle Washington and the various bands he has been in over many years from the Bassics/MonGrells, the Surrealists, the Long Faces, Pistol Pete and Monkeys With Machine Guns he has developed his style of musical composition. Combining various influences with others from a variety of music from Middle Eastern to Delta/Chicago/British Blues , Psychedelia , Surf, Folk Rock & Country. This has slowly be refined down to what he currently plays now.

Here is live footage shot by Rob Hursh (Dullface Robsterboy) of the Seattle based line up of Howlin’ Houndog & Infamous Loosers from the Northwest Folklife Festival in 2007

Also here is some old footage of Howlin Houndog with his former band the Long Faces live on local Northwest music program "29 Live!" back in 1999 (also by Rob Hursh!)

I'm loving the "Loud and Live" CD! Even the tracks I didn't play on! Ha Ha! Maybe I'll slow down and catch one of your shows before too long. Take it easy (if you can).

Dear Howlin Houndog & Infamous Loosers,

Thank you for the add.

My friends and I quite enjoy your sound!

Please tell others about how Horatio's exceptional drinking abilities allowed him to humiliate the devil. His story is so inspirational and his song is so wonderful.

Get "Drunker Than Satan"! It is amazing!

Thank you,
