----------> september 2008 <----------

- Next up is GANG, w/ a single out on postage records, and digitally thru HDC. "Earthquake It" b/w "Get Out Of My Face" Look for it absolutely everywhere.

- And, HDC 019 - Mtn.High / Loving Thunder split 7" will be ready in a few weeks, you can pre-order if you want. Tour dates up for these 2 as well.

- Also, get ready for a new fanzine from Hot Dog City Press titled "Stiff Dogs" ... spearheaded by the long time honcho of European operations: Jack Culver. Details to follow.

- "I tell you, we are here on earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different" - Kurt Vonnegut

----------> mid-summer '08 <----------

- Greetings peaceful travelers... here's a hot update from the
sweaty hands of the fellows over here at hdc headquarters in
beautiful Philadelphia, Pennsylvania....

- What's that? Something is sold out? A few things are almost
soldout? Holy shit, that's incredible... check in to the merch page
for some releases that will soon be lost to the ages in physical
format, but will continue on in the lesser-quality-instant format
known as mp3.... but fear not!

hdc 019 - Loving Thunder / Mtn.High split 7" will be available
hopefully by the time these two bands tour together in October....
Dates soon.  Some other things in the works.  Stay cool.

---------->early summer '08<----------

- First off, happy birthday t-revs... secondly, r.i.p. Bad News Bats... who knows if that 7" will ever come out, but perhaps....

- As we said before, our release schedule is very looose and freeform, but we do know that hdc 019 will be Seattle's Loving Thunder split w/ Mtn.High... due out in late Sept., possible tag-team-ter from these two as well....

- And, check this out... FNU Ronnies 7" "Meat" is a hit across the country, and in Denmark. The single ("Meat" of course) was recorded at HDC's very own Stewd Studios, which goes in and out of retirement to lay down some slabs of beef every now and again.... this 7" is out on Richie Records, but will soon be made available to the masses of internet users in digital form accross the globe. look for it soon at your favorite "virtual store," via Hot Dog City.

---------->spring ohhh-eight <----------

- Hey everybody! Not much happening except positive-uplifting-optimistic occasions... the following of which may or may not be happening....

- GANG landed some shows w/ Bonde Do Role, which oddly enough held an MTV Brazil contest for a new singer.
- Bad News Bats will be releasing a split 7" with friends The Early Graves in the near future...
- We think FNU Ronnies will be doing a 7" sometime soon, these curb-dogs are becoming a heavily sought-after power-trio.
- And our old friends in Seattle - Loving Thunder, should be crushing some vinyl soon as well. This band shreds some thick and juicy slabs of heft. Check them out on this corresponding link which doubles as their name.

----------> February 2008 <----------

- OK everybody, its no surprise this country is and has been in the toilet for some time now.  That’s why it’s the perfect time to harness the fortitude it will take to reclaim the streets.  But don’t look here for any leadership, we're too busy preparing for 2012.  If we should make it thru this remarkable phenomenon, surely vinyl will be the reliable format able to withstand the harsh elements of a relentless mother nature...  more vinyl releases on the way.

- Forthcoming ->
- FNU Ronnies (Richie Records 7" available here too)
- Bad News Bats are recording new tunes
- Gang is planning a new single
- Hot Smear
- Roid-Rage

----------> summer 2007 <----------

- Hot beans... hot beans, hot beans, hot beans... HOT BEANS.  It’s pretty hot out there, obviously. Catch the feeling w/ HALL & OATES on the 4th of July.  Perhaps the 2nd best
band to ever come out of Philly.

- Shows a ‘plenty from the emerging artists on HDC... but most of them you wont find here. But seriously, Mtn. High is hitting the road in early august... Bottom Of The Hudson -> end of July, and the rest will be circling the megalopolis wondering why Americans are so stupid. So tally ho! And sally forth! Don’t let us get u down, and definitely don’t count on us for a good time either... just remember this cold-hard fact...  from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Americans crush enough hot dogs to make it to the moon and back an astounding 6 times!

----------> May 2007 <----------

- Hola! HDC is celebrating the 5th year since its inception, and its 10th year since its realization. The music with forth dates back to the year 1997, when the first of HDC releases transpired. This takes us even further back in time to the days of Franklin, Fracture, Hell Nation, Spanky Wonton, etc…. Enjoy and partake in this musical triumph... revel in disgust, or merely shrug and sigh with indifference.

- New for inter-web download
RABBLE ROUSERS / MANEUVERS "Monster Bush" split lp
(x- Excelsior, Mtn. High, Franklin, Nymph, etc….)
Available on download sites only for now.

---------------> april 2007 <--------------

Seasonal tidings, species of the world. As you can see, we got a new shade of brown... a darker, more legendary hue... the color which, within its grasp, contains the entire infinite spectrum of colors known to man, including ones which have not been discovered.

These shades of brown are much like, or similar to, the inner workings of the HDC record label. HDC is a hodgepodge of musical genres, as well as a politically correct group of artists consisting of most every demographic, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexual preference known to man. This wide range of diversity makes for a well-rounded, omnipresent force in the form of the very essence of music.

On a lighter, more humorous note... MTN. HIGH has a new 2 song CD jammer available here and there. 2 jams from the forthcoming LP due out in August or so.

---------------> Feb/March 2007 <--------------

The former update really can't be beaten, so we'll keep this short. We got shows, phenomenal shows. We got the GANG ep release show, an HDC "showcase" of sorts, and various other jams throughout the northeast corridor. Check 'em on the "concerts" page.

----------------> Winter 2006 <---------------

Greetings from the label synonymous with music and music related topics, fashion, and miscellaneous items. HDC's steadfast commitment to the Philadelphia music scene is one under looked, overrated, and evenly surpassed by the majority.

Although, what we lack in numbers and media praise, we more than make up for with solid 10's across the board of stats:

Endurance... Ambition... Knowhow... Stability... Futility... Stamina... Mediocrity... Righteousness...

Which brings us to the announcement of our 16th release, slated for an early January release, available for ordering now.

-----> hdc 016 - GANG - "Guess What You'll Find..." Catch them live at a location nearest to you, ripping and shredding.

---------------> Autumn 2006 <---------------

Many rumors surrounding HDC as of late… News of a dormant King God returning to the environment, crushing and pulverizing the scenic byways. Coyote is finishing up their debut album, excitement swells… And Mtn. High works overtime on a full-length long-player… Enjoy this last few days of warmth and color... Support independent musicians/artists... Spay or neuter your pets...
