Next Week @ The Parlor : The Cocker Spaniels + Hooch Dupree and the Trapdoor Band

Hooch Dupree and The Trapdoor Band. Sean Padilla (The Cocker Spaniels) far right.

One of our bloggers threw a birthday party for herself in March at The Parlor on North Loop, and one of the bands performing that night, The Cocker Spaniels, was part of the festivities. After that, it was logical to host regular musical events there - bi-monthly events until we figure out how to get all the bands we love together in the live music capital of the world on a monthly basis. So it's fitting to announce that The Cocker Spaniels (one man, one mission, Sean Padilla) is playing again at The Parlor, with Hooch Dupree and The Trapdoor Band (myspace.com/thetrapdoorband). It happens a week from today at 9 pm.

Here's exactly what's going down @ The Parlor according to Sean P!:

"On Tuesday the 29th, I'm doing double duty @ the Parlor.

At 9 p.m., I'll play a solo set of Cocker Spaniels songs. After that, I'm playing drums for my friend Hooch Dupree and his Trapdoor Band.

This show is technically free, but I'm encouraging and accepting donations to help me cover my expenses for the apartment I'm moving into next month.

Anyone who puts $5 or more in the tip jar will get a homemade CDR containing rough mixes of songs that will be on the next Cocker Spaniels album!

GET CRUNK! BRING YOUR FRIENDS!"

So stop by and have a hot slice of pizza, a pint of cold brew, leave a tip or two - and enjoy the music.

We're not sponsoring the night of plugged-in meets homespun folk rock, but diy danna is already dreaming up an e-flier.

See you there!

You can also hear The Cocker Spaniels live @ Beerland (myspace.com/beerland)Wednesday, July 30th w/ Sad Like Crazy and Bright White. Padilla will be performing a few songs from the forthcoming album, and most likely popular songs from his debut Withstand The Whatnot. Alex "Hooch" Dupree and company's next show is August 1st at Progress w/ folk rock grazers Brazos.
