As the Seattle Weekly described, “Watching Dr. Dog evolve over the last 6 or so years of solid touring has been a treat. They’ve gone from a scruffy group of seemingly shy, sunglasses-wearing goofballs to a completely confident, fully-fledged rock band. One of the beauties of Dr. Dog is that, in that transition, they’ve seemingly never lost their unbridled creative joy.”
The band will also be recording a performance for the historic show Austin City Limits this June 25th. For more info go to: http://acltv.com/2012/05/31/june-taping-announcements-bonnie-raitt-dr-dog-and-mavis-staples/
Dr. Dog’s latest Be The Void combines the group’s meticulously crafted pop with a far leaner and meaner primal sound which perfectly captures the rough and tumble energy of their renowned live show. The Philadelphia band entered the studio with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and confidence. “It was reminiscent of when we were starting out and were these fearless weirdoes in a basement, so confident and reckless and bold,” guitarist-vocalist Scott McMicken explains.
