I met the guys who run Jade Tree in 1998, when I was selling T shirts for Kid Dynamite. It was one of those friendships you inadvertently start that really changes your life.
Tim and Darren have been friends ever since, and the music they put out of the years has always been consistently amazing and the aesthetic they bring to everything they do certainly has had a big influence on me. I’m extremely proud to release this Heavy Heart 7″ on JT and to cover The Promise Ring and Jets To Brazil, two incredible bands, that without knowing Tim and Darren I may have totally missed out on way back when.

Hi all. Look, I love Patty Griffin, Ryan Adams and Nick Drake as much as the next guy, but I was in Paint It Black for god’s sake. I love hardcore punk and I’m honored to have Bridge Nine Records release a 7″ of my solo music. They are great people who have done a tremendous job bringing the world some of the best angry music for over a decade. See you in the pit. I’ll be the guy with the acoustic guitar.
BRIDGE NINE ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION WITH DAVE HAUSE FOR EXCLUSIVE 7INCH
Release Date Set for June 19th As Part of Dave’s 2012 7inch Series
Dave Hause, frontman for the Philadelphia-based punk band The Loved Ones, is excited to team up with Bridge Nine Records for an installment in his ongoing 7inch series. Throughout 2012, Dave will be releasing 7inches on various independent labels including Side One Dummy, Jade Tree and Chunksaah amongst others. Hause commented, “Bridge Nine has consistently put out great hardcore records, I’ve been aware of them since the late 90′s and they continue to do a great job. I remember wanting my old band The Curse to get a release out on B9, but we broke up (like most good hardcore bands do) bef… Continue Reading…
I released Resolutions last year, which is a full blown studio record with all the bells and whistles. I toured all over the world, playing the vast majority of the shows with just an acoustic guitar. People responded extremely positively to the record, but many folks asked if I would be releasing any versions of the songs the way I mostly performed them live, truly solo, just me and a guitar. It got me thinking that it would be cool to release stripped down versions of the songs with different arrangements and to put them out on a series of 7″s, and I figured it would be unique to have an array of my favorite labels put them out. I asked around to various friends and got things rolling, and went back in the studio to record 20 songs: all 10 tracks from Resolutions re-arranged, and 2 covers from each of the labels putting out a 7″, from artists in their catalogs.
Pete Steinkopf and I had a blast recording, and I’m looking forward to them coming out. Looks like Side One Dummy will release theirs first, on Record Store Day, and then each month a different label will put out another 7″, with artwork by Matt Hock (The Explosion), 5 releases in total. There are some strange covers … Continue Reading…
Just a few days away from taking off on tour with Cory Branan. For those who don’t have tickets yet, go out and get them. You can see all of the dates here.
And just in time for the tour, the folks at FUSE are giving away an mp3 of C’mon Kid. You can download the track from their site by clicking here.… Continue Reading…
Hey folks.
First of all, I’m sorry for not keeping up to date with this website announcement thing. I’m sitting at my manager’s house in LA about to head over to the Troubadour for the 2nd of 2 shows there with Alkaline Trio, and he indicated to me that the last time I updated this website was April, much to my chagrin. Blame my Twitter account. It’s an instant way to communicate that takes 140 characters, whereas these updates take more careful consideration, attention to grammar, and more importantly, time. Ok, just blame me for being lazy and busy. So I’ll bring everyone up to speed, and then attempt to keep on top of this a bit better…
The east coast headlining run I did in April/May was a blast, I wrapped it up in NYC with a great final show and flew straight to California for a bunch of shows with Frank Turner which were extremely fun. Thanks to Frank for having me out and congrats to him on his great new record “England Take My Bones.”
I limped home from the shows with Frank for a minute before heading out west to do 3 midwestern shows with Tommy Stinson. This was particularly mind-blowing as Tommy is the current bass player for Guns N Roses A… Continue Reading…
Greetings from Newport Kentucky. We kicked off the Dave Hause, Mikey Erg, Ian Graham tour on Friday night with a bang in Pittsburgh, what a great response. 2 intimate shows in the Ohio area (Columbus and last night in Newport, Kentucky, Cincinatti’s neighbor) and today is a day off before 14 shows straight. We’re having a blast, so much so that Mikey Erg got arrested last night and thrown in the drunk tank. I love that guy. Come on out and hang, click here for tourdates.
Big week of announcements this past week, the first of which was the fine folks at Filter Magazine premiering my new video for “Time Will Tell”. My old friend Jason Shevchuk shot this video with me in a few hours back in October and it turned out exactly as I had hoped. My concept was to pay homage to Martin Scorsese’s student film, “The Big Shave” that he made in the 60′s to protest the Vietnam War.
The response to the video was really positive, except from my youngest sister Sarah, who claimed it was too dark and that she hated seeing me covered in blood. I’ll have to let her know the blood wasn’t real, I suppose. I uploaded it to … Continue Reading…
I really need to update the website more often, it’s just that I got so busy with touring (unfortunately without a laptop, any Apple whizzes out there that can help me fix my Powerbook? Email davehausemusic@gmail.com) that it became increasingly difficult to write updates. That said, here we go…
The eastern Canadian tour I did in March with The Grey Kingdom was just fantastic. Spencer is a great songwriter and really funny guy who puts on a tremendous show. His driving skills, however were horrific, due to the fact that he was busy texting all to often when he should’ve been focused on the road, so anxiety on this tour was at an all time high. Much love to him, check his music out, and give him a ride, otherwise you’ll be petrified with fear if you let him take you around. Thanks are in order to all of my Canadian buds and everyone else who put on the shows and to everyone for coming out. News on returning to Canada, eastern and western will be posted soon.
The shows in the middle of America were…well, strange. Thanks to the folks who came out for some memorable nights, we played a bar with multiple elementary school children running around during the set in Lan… Continue Reading…
Ok so a ton of updates, I wanted to start by saying thanks so much for the amazing response to the release of “RESOLUTIONS”. Press has been amazing, and all of the messages via Facebook and Twitter as well as emails I’ve received have been fantastic, thanks so much.
Sorry for any glitches you’ve had ordering the record, I think the fine folks at Paper + Plastick didn’t anticipate such an overwhelming response. That said, they’ve ordered up a 2nd pressing of CDs (as the first one has sold out) and the first (color) vinyl pressing is almost all sold as well. (I’d recommend getting these now if you are a vinyl collector).
As far as iTunes, please be patient, apparently there was a glitch and they had to reload the record, it’s in line to be put back up, but I’m sure they’re very busy selling Arcade Fire and Bruno Mars records right now. I’ll announce the minute it goes back up.
Check in on tour dates, I’m continuing to add shows down in Austin for SXSW (3 listed, a few more to come) and excited to head out on the road to do Canada and the Midwest with Grey Kingdom in March.
I’m EXTREMELY excited to announce the spring east coast tour with my buds Mikey Erg (The Ergs) and Ian Graham … Continue Reading…
