Dr. Dog came through town a few weeks ago and played an amazing show- that night they introduced us to a couple new tracks from their forthcoming LP, Shame, Shame. Check out the new track titled, Shadow People. Shame, Shame is due out April 6th on ANTI Records.
Philadelphia’s Dr. Dog made their way through Madison last night to play to a sold out show at the High Noon Saloon. The band ripped through most of the material from their last two releases and even debuted a few new songs from their upcoming spring 2010 release tentatively titled “Shame, Shame”. One the songs “Mirror, Mirror” was amazing – check it out here. Dr. Dog was full of raw energy and beautiful harmony throughout the entire evening. If they come around to your town, they should not be missed.
Opening act, The Growlers were a nice treat as well. Their psychedelic concoction of ”western surf punk” was a nice compliment to this show.
Check out of the photos.

| Other Info | Dr. Dog is a psychedelic indie pop-rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band's version of pop-rock is strongly influenced by bands of the 1960s. They are often compared to The Beatles, The Band, and The Beach Boys. Their earlier recordings show influence of the lo-fi sound and pop sensibilities of indie rock bands of the 1990s, such as Guided By Voices and Pavement. Recent albums have featured more polished production. Dr. Dog has now signed to Anti- Records, with an album forthcoming on April 6, 2010. The new album is titled "Shame, Shame", which is also the title of a track that will be on the album. In an interview with Scott McMicken (lead guitar), he said that the new album would be much more modern and would be a little more punk rock with more electric guitars, which will more accurately show what the band is like at a live concert. This should be an exciting show! |
Playing to a packed house on a Wednesday night, Dr. Dog once again captured us all up in their nostalgic net. Anyone who has experienced this band in a club setting knows that the energy level is intense and the performance is always tight. Throughout the night the band mostly picked from the Fate and We All Belong song catalog and for the encore brought out the band members from Delta Spirit (photo 1 & 2) and Hacienda for a one last goodbye.
