We had a great time with Bill Harley’s show at the Iron Horse, with a good sized crowd despite being opposite a Patriots game.  I didn’t get any great pictures of Bill, but here’s one anyway:

Liam thought Bill was pretty hilarious:

Couldn’t resist announcing one more act — I will try to hold back on the rest for a little while (though I’m thisclose to telling you one of the authors).  The second act announced for the 2010 Meltdown is Dog on Fleas.

If you head over to our audio/video page (which you should do regardless), you can listen to audio of Dog on Fleas’ visit to the studio last year.  And here’s a fun video featuring both Dog on Fleas and Elizabeth Mitchell (along with various other folks):

Will they play anything together at the Meltdown?  I guess we’ll have to wait to find out…
