Cantab Update

The Club-Bohemia website has been updated to include our October 17 show, and things have changed. What once looked like a night of music by kindred spirits (that is, middle-aged men playing punky pop) has metastasized into a predictably schizophrenic evening of oddly matched musicians. Ah, so very, very Cantab.

Here's the lineup:

CANTAB LOUNGE DOWNSTAIRS
Date(s): Saturday, October 17, 2009
Hammond Group, Callous Stars, Last Ones, Reign Lee

Midnight

The Hammond Group returns to the Cantab Lounge (Club Bohemia - downstairs) on Saturday, October 17. Following The Last Ones and the Port Charles Quintet, THG takes the stage at midnight. Yikes!

So, take a nap, throw some cold water on your face, and head on down to Central Square on the 17th. What? You got something better to do?

W.H.A.T. happened

The Hammond Group is pleased to report that our "legitimate" theater debut went quite well, thank you. THG performed three tunes - and a surprise cover song with guest vocalist Eric Martinson - during closing night of the Happy Oyster Spectacular Show at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater (W.H.A.T.) on Cape Cod.

Now that that's over with, we will return to more familiar terrain, namely Club Bohemia, on October 17. See you there.

Hammond events confirmed

The Hammond Group is pleased to announce the confirmation of two upcoming musical events:

THG will be the featured performer on the final performance of the "Happy Oyster Spectacular" on August 23 at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater ("WHAT") in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. The variety show combines live sketches with video and a different musical performer each week. Check it out.

THG returns to Club Bohemia (Cantab-down) on Saturday, October 17. Joining us will be the Port Charles Quintet (members of the Prime Movers) and the Last Ones. THG goes on at midnight. Should be fun.

Upcoming Hammond Group events

Looks like a summer of fun for The Hammond Group.

THG is playing, once again, at the Cantab Lounge (downstairs) in Central Square, Cambridge. The show will be on Friday, July 17. THG goes on at 11:00. Other performers include The Sharp Lads, Calamus, and Party Wolf.

Also, THG will be the featured musical performer on The Happy Oyster Spectacular Show, a comedy-variety show featuring live sketches and video, playing at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater on Cape Cod. THG will be performing during the final performance of the show, scheduled for Sunday, August 23. See you there.

Back from Church

The Hammond Group Executive Leadership Team thanks one and all who came down to Church last Saturday. We had a great time - hope you did, too.

Special thanks to The Allstonians, Sharp Lads, and Sprained Ankles. A good time was had. See you on July 17, back at the Cantab.

THG goes to Church

The Hammond Group heads to Church in Boston on Saturday, May 30, for a show with our strategic partners The Allstonians, Sprained Ankles, and Sharp Lads.

Will it be a religious experience? God, we hope so.

See you there.

Back to Bohemia

The Hammond Group returns to Club Bohemia (Cantab-downstairs) in Central Square, Cambridge, on Friday, February 27. THG is scheduled to take the stage around 10:00 PM.

Joining us that evening will be Stand Up Triple, Jesus & the Argonauts, and The Shadows Smile.

Hope to see you there.

Hammond news roundup

Big doings in the Hammond world this week. First, our new album, "Mean Business" received a favorable, yet oddly edited, review in The Noise. Although we don't know what "optical musical solutions" are, and we're pretty sure we're not living in the "twentieth first century," the reviewer seemed to be buying our act. We're grateful and humble. Thanks, Noise.

Also, songs from "Mean Business" have been turning up on WMFO's Wednesday night show "On the town with Mikey D." Thanks for the exposure, kids.

Meanwhile, our next show has been confirmed. We'll be playing at Club Bohemia (Cantab Lounge, downstairs) on Friday, February 27 at 10:00 PM. Details to come.
