About Dr. Dog:Dr. Dog is a indie rock/pop band from Philadelphia. They were founded in 1999, when still playing under a different alias. Their sound is often compared to various sixties bands like the Beatles and the Band, only more psychedelic. Critics call Dr.Dog's sound psychedelic indie pop.When they changed their band name to Dr. Dog, they were often mistaken for a hip-hop group. That all ...
Its a real love hate relationship I have with NPR music. On the one hand they are often a bit stuffy and middle-aged, but on the otherhand they are so so with it, with a huge wealth of music knowledge and celebration of the underground.So when this week, a new "Tiny Desk Concert" (a series of small 3 or 4 song concerts in the NPR music office) came through with an artist I was unfamiliar with, ...
Fresh off of a show at Music Hall of Williamsburg Tuesday night, Dr. Dog offer up a new video for Fate standout "The Ark." I'm starting to realize that they're very diligent about their explanations. When first we heard this track, the band shed some light on the lyrics:~~

What a refreshing experience! A proper live show. After years of pretentious dj sets, "live" laptop mixing, and 'friends gigs' it was so refreshing to see a proper gig. But no i'm not talking about Bruce Springstein live at the Fleet Centre, this was a gig. London's Borderline club is one of those places that if you don't look up you'd definitely miss it. Wel after 6 years of walking past it ev...
First for this one...Caesarthen for this sweet one...Molly Mostly for music though, it's this one...Dr. Dog Dr. Dog has won over my heart, as every other dog in my life has. Their latest album Fate, as said in an article from the man (Mr. Zoot) who introduced me to the phenomenal band is "the record Dr. Dog were destined to make, a timeless yet contemporary distillation of the band's open-ar...
The first time I ever heard Dr. Dog was in my girlfriend's car down in Santa Cruz. Since I'm a wee in the dark when it comes to contemporary masturbation (that is, music appreciation), she's often my educator on today's musical rad. So it's often an adventure when she puts on a CD. After hearing the first 15 seconds or so of Dr. Dog, I wanted to know more. "Who is this?" I asked as we drove thr...
A guy walks into a soda shop and says, "I'd like a chocolate ice cream sundae without the chocolate ice cream." The soda jerks says, "We don't have any chocolate ice cream.""Give it me me without vanilla, then."If you asked for a jam band without the jam, you might get Dr. Dog. They took the stage last night looking suspiciously jammy. Scraggly beards - check. Ironic sunglasses - check. Goofy ...
To say that, when playing live, Dr. Dog stays true to the most important elements of their recorded works is an understatement. But those elements (energy, musicianship, harmony) are certainly not a bad thing. Tuesday night at Webster Hall, in New York City, with a stage decorated with palm-flora in stark contrast to the chilly [...]
Here we are in September, not quite at fall, but still in a post-Labor day (for us in the States), early September haze. Those of us in school have returned to academia, those of us who go for nighttime jogs have found the air to be a bit chili, but those of us who drive a car have still fond the steering wheel extremely hot after prolonged exposure to the end of summer sun. Mother nature see...
With 2008 rapidly coming to a close, we can start looking forward to the plethora of festival line up announcements that will be coming our way in the next few weeks and months. So, to get you used to the constant bombardment that is headed your way, we thought we'd tell you about the initial [...]by Some Dude Leave A Comment
I like this a bunch. Not sure if it's because I dig the song so much or because the video is appealing. Does it matter either way? You should still watch it and tell us what you think. It's certainly the best Dr. Dog video yet! Dr. Dog's Fate is out now on Park the Van [...]~~
I have been played Dr Dog by some friends over the past few months and they are slowly growing on me. I need to see them live. This Lillywhite Session brought to you By NPR is pretty outstanding. Tour Dates. Have any free time Dr Dog? September 27 at the Hi Dive in Denver. See you there. GLH~~
