Pictures of Dead Old Lady!


Kids,

The pictures you were asking about have started to some in. 

Last week  Your Pals in FtH got together again with the mag photog Erin Nekervis to take publicity pics for the new album.  So far they are something great.  I am only going to show one here, because Erin is going to monkey with the other ones until they are just right.  Needless to say, we thank Erin again for her brilliance!

 
L-R = Foz, Kate Adams, Larry, Cait Bowes, Patrick!

Cool huh?

We also have a preliminary title for the album, which heretofore has simply been called Tennessee Williams’ Thing.  It could have stayed that way, but we decided to go ahead and give it a real name.

That name will probably be something like:

Foz the Hook
 and 
The Kates
 and 
Tennessee Williams
 Present:

The Old Lady Died:  A Disgraceful Affair.

That’s all for today because I want you to just stare at Erin’s awesome pic.

Come to Cole’s tonight to see FtH, along with all the comics.  We play at 8:45.  Be there on time to learn Your New Pickup Line.

The Worst Gig Drops!


Too infrequently do I use the pages of this blog to trumpet the praises of somebody else’s work.  I can imagine that you, dear reader, often think to yourself, “This Foz.  Is he so obsessed with his own self and his own band that he doesn’t have time to comment on other fine work going on in comedy and music?”


Yes.

But today we depart from your fascination with me to drop the news of a fabulous new book from music journalist and Fozfriend, Jon Niccum.  You know Jon Niccum from ThisPost.

Jon is a fine and hilarious writer, producer of movies WITHAN IMDB PAGE, film critic, film prof, character actor, guitar player, member of FtH affiliate band Bobby and the Chuxx (he is, in fact, Bobby), co-writer of quite a few FtH songs (including Somebody Write Some Music and Whiskey What Done It), screenwriter, and Storied Newsman.  He is also the only person, thus far, to bloody my nose with a hand puppet dog named Hector. 

Now he proposes to injure me again with a gut-busting hilarious new book about the Rock ‘n Roll Life!  The Worst Gig is the product of Jon’s brilliant interview ice-breaker question to dozens of Rock Stars, “Tell me about your worst gig.”  Actually, I don’t know if it was an ice-breaker question, or just a question he always asked.  For history’s sake, let’s say it was a brilliant ice-breaker. 

The Worst Gig is a book you want.  So buy it.  Buy it from THIS GUY.  Buy it, or you are a dick.

FtH plays tomorrow night at Cole’s at 8:45.  Come on by.  Don’t be a dick.
