Our First Video!

A big hat tip to Caitlin Brice of The Splendid Ape for finding this old 1978 footage of Foz the Hook on an Eastern European TV variety show. Of course, back then we weren't called Foz the Hook. I think we called ourselves !The Peoples' Revolutionary Committee For Humor (Music) Brigades! or something like that.

Isn't it hilarious to see Comrade Patrick playing that weird brass conch-shell thing? I can't remember what it is called, but we called it The Peoples' Brass Conch-Shell Thing For Making Sounds (Funny). Comrade Foz was wearing quite a revolutionary red cravat in those days. Man, I used to get plenty of action from The Revolutionary Peoples' Proletarian Defense Committtee (Female) because of that cravat! And I haven't seen Comrade Leon with that much facial hair since the Fifth Seven-Year Plan.

Good times.

Hey! Don't miss FtH at Cole's this Wednesday night at 9:00. You remember how to get there.

Viva la Revolucion!

Double Play - Double Door

If you wish to meet a piano player, ladies, there will be one at the Double Door tonight at 8 watching The Splendid Ape and Perseus Noble. That's right, Foz will be a abroad tonight, seeing some swell music.

Now, you know Perseus Noble from a previous post on this blog, but The Splendid Ape could use more attention. The Splendid Ape is a band featuring FtH's own Patrick Stonehouse, Cole's Coleman Brice, and the lovely Caitlin Brice. I have seen them at Cole's, where they rocked, but this is their first big-room gig.

I will take a closer look at the Double-Door and see if it is right for FtH. In any case we will have to finish recording the album (Gin-Soaked Yankee and Other Disgraces) before we start shopping the act to big rooms. But don't be surprised when I announce a big show at a big room like DD. We just need to convince some strippers to join the band. We do need a horn section.
