Back In Action

Posted by The Dot Hongs on November 1, 2009 at 6:26 pm.

Dear People (Deer People),

We’re about 5 days into the Mile After Mile tour (L after L tour) supporting Straylight Run. After running into some issues with our trailer, we have time off in Sikeston, MO (the place where a woman expresses how her “guardian” is trying to pimp her out to two men to a band from New York). Our show on Sunday in Grand Rapids is cancelled, and we will return on the 3rd at Club Diesel in Pittsburgh. So far the tour has been fun, and the other acts traveling with us have been great (Dave Melillo, Mansions and The Dangerous Summer). We’ve been smoking popcorn (yes! real popcorn), hanging with the Brand New team, running from hotel security, listening to Howard Stern, met an interesting security guard in Oklahoma, and partying at a members only club for Halloween. Straylight Run was kind enough to let us ride with them, and Dave Melillo (who is a Florida king) is trucking with us. My new friends and team players. We feel very calm and steady.

You must be impressed by how slick our lives are. It’s wild times America, wild times.

Please sign up for our mailing list to get updates on what is going on from the band and blog updates. Our online store will be up soon. If I get enough energy, I will make new copies of all 3 previous EPs. I was once a kid. Wait, I am still a kid.

The shows have been great, and I want to thank those who have come out to see us again from past tours. You guys totally make our nights.

Until the next blog post…

Goodbye,
William and Eric

What Does “Dot Hong” Mean?

Posted by The Dot Hongs on October 12, 2009 at 2:31 pm.

We hear it from friends, fans and club promoters throughout the past two years. A few people think about how it’s a play on “Hot Dongs” or “Hot Dogs”, but those people are sexual and hungry. In 1983, a beautiful young lady was born named Dorothy Hong. She grew up to be one hell of a Photographer based out of New York City. She happens to be a friend of the band, and deciding on our band name one evening I thought of her website and work. I turned to everyone and said “Brian Bonz & the Dot Hongs!”. It sounds funny to say sometimes but it’s what the boys in the band like.
