Dr. Dog

Philadelphia based psychedelic rockers Dr. Dog have had their share of ups in down in recent times. The group is set to kick off a whirlwind tour, from Brooklyn to Berlin, in support of their upcoming 5th full length album Fate (Park The Van). The group explains it as an  "album Dr. Dog were destined to make", mainly due to the fact that the opportunity to bring new elements into their recording sessions has arisen. Tomorrow night (Thursday, July 17), Dr. Dog will perform... MORE

The last few nights I have been unable to get to sleep before 5 am.  It all began friday night while in houston, I went out to a karaoke bar and the house of pies with one of my bestest (Jacob Martin McCarther) and I did not get back to my mom's house until about 4am.  Saturday is less fun and more ridiculous...i stayed up till 5 watching a marathon of Rob & Big...  Now, last night i was just pissed because i just laid in bed awake for hours unable to sleep, which just pi...

As I sit here relaxing on a Tuesday night, windows open - cool breeze stirring the papers on my desk – I can’t help but wonder, ‘Where did all of my summer go?’ The last thing I remember is playing a concert at the local college as summer was beginning. Then, the next thing I knew, I was starting my summer class indicating summer was half over.

I did download a bunch of new music, White Williams, Dr. Dog, and Black Kids are emerging as the top three favorites of summer ’08... MORE

Like when you're sitting in the car, spinning through the menu on your Ipod..... just spin it to the D section. you know, past DeVotchka, past Dinosaur JR, and a little bit after Do Make Say Think... hey, watch the road, cowboy. Wait, Dresden Dolls? too far there, chubby-fingers. b... MORE

It's been pretty quiet on the Dr. Dog front. The band released their sophomore album We All Belong almost a year ago. The Philly-based vintage rockers are hard at work on a new album they plan to finish by this summer. Yesterday, the band released an animated video for the We All Belong track "Alaska."

The band play next at the four day Langerado Music Festival in the Florida everglades on March 8th.

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 through some stony Santa Cruz forest."Dr. Dog. Never heard them?" "No, where are ...

Philly's Dr. Dog will release a rare collection 4-track recordings they made here and there on March 4th via Park the Van Records. The ten vintage and lo-fi tracks that make up Passed Away were "recorded at various times and various places" over the past five years and before the band's 2007 breakout album We All Belong. The unmastered audio first appeared on the band’s Web site, and is still streaming there now. The Dog will head out on a mini tour after their gig at L... MORE

I know this may make it seem like I'm a one trick pony or that I am obsessive...but I have to talk about Dr. Dog.....AGAIN  I purchased Fate at midnight on itunes and i have been listening to it ever since.   It is just so AMAZING!!!! I told my bestest last night that if it came down to it and i had to choose between eating cake for the rest of my life or getting to listen to Fate....I would choose Fate.  I would give up cake forever for this album.  Listening to this al...

So, the first time I heard Dr. Dog I really didn't like them. I don't know why. I heard them in my car & the stereo was shitty; maybe that's it. I don't know. But I thought, "Damn, these guys are a giant god damn mess." I was listening to their album "We All Belong." Then about 2 weeks ago I listened to this self-same album while at work. Yeah, I have a day job; ask me about my day job. It's a pretty good job, actually. But enough about me. You charming flatterer... MORE
