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.

Thank you for your patronage

The Hammond Group Executive Leadership Team would like to extend a heart-felt "thanks" to everyone who came down to Club Bohemia last night to see THG along with Stand Up Triple, Jesus & the Argonauts, and The Shadows Smile. An eclectic group of bands entertained an eclectic group of fans.

We were moved. Hope you were, too.

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.

The Noise is "excitedly intrigued"

The Hammond Group is pleased as punch to have been reviewed in "The Noise." (Click here and scroll about half-way down.) Writer Frank Strom caught our November 7 gig at the Cantab Lounge and remarked that we've "got an intelligent, witty new wave thing going on." He also commented on our suits, ties, glasses, and "sharp observational skills." Thanks, Noise. We appreciate it. The review also lauded the band Neon God, but neglected to mention the stunning sets turned in by the other two bands on the bill: the Black Mosettes and Sprained Ankles. Trust us - they were great!

Bohemia Rhapsody

Thanks to everyone who came down to Club Bohemia (Cantab Lounge - downstairs) last night to enjoy The Hammond Group, along with our new strategic partners Neon God, Black Mosettes, and Sprained Ankles. For The Hammond Group, it was a night in which core competencies were strengthened, new skill sets were developed, and professional alliances were forged. A "win-win," indeed.

See you all again soon!

Cantab, confirmed

It's official. The Hammond Group will be performing at the Cantab lounge - downstairs, Club Bohemia - on Friday, November 7. The Group is scheduled to take the stage at 10:00 p.m.

Joining THG on this musical journey will be Neon God, Black Mosettes, and Sprained Ankles. Free copies of The Hammond Group's new CD, "Mean Business," will be handed out, making the night a potential win-win for all involved.

See you there.
