I had the pleasure of catching Brian Bonz play a solo set before the Ramona Falls show last Tuesday night, and boy was I surprised. Bonz is the frontman for the band Brian Bonz and the Dot Hongs, a funnily named band that I'd never heard of until about an hour before showtime.
Bonz showed up sans band, however, as everyone else holds down a "regular job". He played a fairly brief set on solo guitar, tuning the guitar down and doubling the low string to balance his high register vocals. I really dug his voice, and the set was highly enjoyable. To make it even better, he was hysterical, cracking up the audience with jokes about the Fung Wah bus, "that twitter shit," and getting revenge on his 3rd grade student by placing a cockroach in her cubby. Priceless.
After the show I got a chance to chat with Bonz, and he was a cool and down-to-earth guy. I checked out some of their tunes, and they're definitely worth tuning into. Here's my favorite of the lot, give it a shot.
