You heard it here first: Spaniel MP3, show tonight at Record Bar

It had been awhile since we’d heard from our pal Andy Graham of the fabulous, late A. Graham and the Moment Band. And, frankly, we did not expect to hear from him in conjunction with something called Spaniel, but the world is full of little surprises, idn’tit?

Fronted by Graham with ex-Moment guitarist Mark Weinberg and variously referred to as “Time Spaniel” or “Liquor Spaniel,” Spaniel is playing tonight at the Record Bar with San Diego rawk threesome Marasol and the deliciously jagged Little Murders.

Mr. Graham was kind enough to share an exclusive rough mix from his new-old band (he and Weinberg have been putting on the dog off and on since the ’90s), and it sounds promising: a sort of dreamy, quirky “Ziggy Stardust”-referencing ballad about a dogsledder. Dogsledsman? Whatever. It’s nice.

Skyhawk!
