Hey friends,
I write to you from my Brooklyn home post tour. Some of us have been on tour since October 26, and we are worn out baby. I want to thank everyone who we met along the way, and folks who have supported us. We have played with so many great bands on the past two tours, and had some great shows together. John Nolan really looked out for us by taking us on tour, and letting us ride with him. Person L are a fantastic gang of new friends, and talented people. Everyone I have showed there band too – people have the same reaction! Thanks to all who have shown support and let us crash at your house!
We will be doing some local gigs for now, and will most likely kick up touring in the late spring/early summer. It’s time to finish writing our second full length, and enjoy our time home.
Please come check our first headlining show in New York City at 92Y Tribeca on January 22, 2010 with our hip hop pals the Rockstar Society and Kevin Johnston. Tickets are on sale NOW!
Jinda will be posting some tour photos soon!
Have a great holiday!
Brian
Person L and the Nolans are amazing people and it’s been a hell of a tour. It’s sad that it’s come to an end, I will miss their faces dearly (more photos from the last two weeks to come).
Praise,
jinda
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
This is the last set of pictures from the tour that we did this past May and June with Kevin Devine and the Miniature Tigers (The Brother’s Blood Tour)! We join the Straylight Run “Mile After Mile” tour this Monday and will be posting images as we go.
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.
Go check out her photos. Stop being nasty!
