Dr. Dog

The details are sketchy, but Dr. Dog is the raison d’etre for the label Park The Van. Now settled in as a five piece, Dr. Dog boasts an alumni membership of 20 strong, all contributing in some small or large way to Philadelphia’s premier basement band. Dr. Dog loves nothing more to get their hands good and dirty, digging around in lo-fi dirt, 4-tracking the night away. With roots reaching down deep to Beach Boys and Beatles bedrock, they sow and reap pop blossoms cross-pollinated with Grandaddy, Ween, and Pavement. I’ve had their album shuffling through my library for over a year and shame on me for not sharing until now. But now’s as good a time as any to be a Dr. Dog fan. Next month the band releases a new EP, Takers and Leavers, then heads out on the road with Cold War Kids on their way to joining The Raconteurs tour as main support.

  1. ooohhhh Dr. Dog rocks! The album takes awhile to get into, thanks to the very low-fi sound…but live they are tremendous. I have seen them 4 times over the past year and a half and will be seeing them in Brooklyn next weekend, outdoors for free, with The Walkmen and Elvis Perkins. Cannot wait! Do try to see the good Dr. Dog live at some point. You will not be disappointed.
