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 some press from the "Left Coast Tour" of Northern/Central California in August 2007 from Chico’s student paper the Orion. Read about it here
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!)
Howlin’ Houndog talks about his Sunset show on Jan 26th and his upcoming "Rubber Tramping the USA" indi solo tour on Youtube! (thanks to Dullface Robsterboy)
Feel free to drop Howlin’ a line here if you can help with booking dates for future shows!
Thanks!
