INFO:
howie&scott is a rock band from Crete, NE, whose members C. Howie Howard (guitar, voice) and Scott Morris (percussion, saxophone, voice) have been playing together since 1999, and recently released their third album titled signs.comets. What started as acoustic jamming in the Morris family basement became a 2-man coffeehouse act, in turn evolving into the rock band howie&scott is today. With over 100 shows under their belts in the past few years, hundreds of CDs sold (approaching 1,000), and audiences that include people of all ages and musical tastes as well as their college-aged peers, Crete’s own howie&scott is creating some of the best local music around.

The band’s website is a great source of information, including a biography (written in the style of a play) including scenes howie&scott’s history, a complete discography, photos, mp3 audio files, and much more.

howieandscott.com posted a new page today. it’s got feedback from people who have been listening to the “signs.comets” and “b.sides” projects. we hope this comments page will spark interesting thoughts in your mind as you listen, or give you some ideas about what we sound like if you haven’t heard us before.

last night at the Shacker show cory was saying something about how the song structure and melodies share some territory with Tool. minus the metal, i see that. it’s an interesting question that always perplexes me; what does h&s sound like? but along the lines of “Tool – metal x Incubus/DMB” may asymptotically approach reality… i hope that at least is useful for new listeners to decide if they might be interested.

Various comments on signs.comets as people have encountered the record

“***RECOMMENDED LISTENING*** Christmas came early and Santa shuffled off six superfly free tracks before heading back north and showing Mrs. Claus sumpthin’-sumpthin’. Seriously, drop what you are doing and go listen to howie&scott’s new online EP, b.sides, at their new site:
