Sunday 8/15 FROM L.A.:  METAL ROUGE, dropping by with their “spontaneous psych tonalism.”  They will be accompanied by New Zealand’s SAM HAMILTON, whose “modern pop is a mixture of ecstatic spectral explosions of sparkling sound rays, throbbing voodoo pulsations and an energetic sonic friction between freak-out fun and magical transformation.”  Hudson’s own JEREMY KELLY joins them both on the 15th, and for their tour. 6:00, $5.

Friday, 8/20 Hudson’s own STUART QUIMBY will perform jazz flute, and EVAN RANDALL will bring his idiosyncratic interpretations of jazz standards back to the Dog once again.  Don’t miss!  8:00, $5.

Alternating Tuesdays:  QUIZ NIGHT!

For the past two years, everyone has been joining us for Hudson’s first and favorite all-nerd throwdown: The Spotty Dog Quiz Night.
Teams of four people or less answer four rounds of fifteen questions (or something like that), and compete for a free bar tab and a place on our Wall of Fame. New guests hosts every week, and it helps to be at least a little smart.

Free for everyone. Ongoing on alternate Tuesdays:  March 2nd, March 16th, March 30th, April 13th, April 27th..
