    If *you* have h&s pictures, stories, etc., why not log in or create an account and post some of them up for everyone? 🙂 -h

    update:

    October 06 – We’ve released Summer’s End on MFR, a set of live material from September 1st. We played for Scott’s band students all day, and at Doane College all night. The songs are in chronological order from morning on.

    Look for another new track, “O Come Thou Dayspring,” on this year’s XMAS comp at Mr. Furious Records.

    LOVE!

    NEW h&s TRACKS ON MR. FURIOUS XMAS COMPILATION – December 05. howie&scott were back in action Thanksgiving weekend, recording two tracks for Mr. Furious Records’ XMAS comp of original holiday music. Scott’s free jazz work “At its Rising” and howie’s seasonal pop tune “Merry Christmas” are available at mrfuriousrecords.com, along with tracks by echoes and Beach-Puppy. You can also sample our track for next year, “O Come Thou Dayspring,” on Furious Instance this month!

    h&s doesn’t have any concrete plans beyond XMAS, but the new songs represent the first recordings together since signs.comets was put down in the summer of 2003. Distance may be a hurdle, but we have all kinds of possibilities in front of us. See you… -h
