Ticket Giveaway for 92Y Tribeca 1/22 show!

The Dot Hongs — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:24:45 +0000

The workers at 92Y Tribeca are letting us do a ticket giveaway, or what I call a “recession special“. Please comment on this post below, and list your email address. Our interns will put you in touch with master of details.

On a side note to the wave of the future…
This morning on my way to work I exchanged words with a young high school “thug” who told me to hurry up when I went to transfer to another train in a very nasty fashion. I was once a teenage loud mouth fool who got himself into stupid places. Just be wise, respectful, and grab onto whatever it can to educate you to be a better version of yourself. Spread the word, big bird!

What Does “Dot Hong” Mean?

The Dot Hongs — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:31:33 +0000

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!
