Dr. Dog |
|
Setlist Mirror, Mirror Notes:
|
Dr. Dog is an indie rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its lineup currently consists of Toby Leaman (bass), Scott McMicken (lead guitar), Frank McElroy (rhythm guitar), Zach Miller (keyboard), and Eric Slick (drums). Lead vocal duties are shared between Leaman and McMicken, with all members contributing harmonies. In addition, each band member has a nickname, and they have explained that friends of the band also receive nicknames, which are drawn from aspects of their lives and personalities (Former member Andrew Jones, for example, is a licensed attorney). The band's version of pop-rock is strongly influenced by bands of the 1960s. 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. On July 29, 2009, it was announced that Dr. Dog had signed to Anti- Records, with an album forthcoming early spring, 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, 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. On February 9, 2010, the first single from "Shame, Shame" called "Shadow People" was made available as a stream and download from stereogum.com. "Shame, Shame" was released April 6, 2010, accompanied by a tour. |
