Dr. Dog v2.0

If I were a 16 yr old girl making a party mix cd, I would consider at least 3 songs from this record. Heavy Light, Big Girl, how long must I wait?  All three make me move

Album of the year so far. Didn't dig the last one as much as many peeps here did. I wish I would've caught them live last week, I didn't know I'd dig Be the Void as much as I would when tickets were available.

"Turning the Century" is a seriously underrated tune. Man, this album is great.

Good call. I think it's only a matter of time before "How Long Must I Wait" gets sampled and turns into a huge rap hit. That beat is flat-out nasty.

Been listening to this album a lot over the past week. Really grown to like Vampire and Heavy Light.... like... A LOT.

[aMillionDreams]

I'm definitely digging the new album. Been listening to the whole discography lately. Looking forward to forecastle. Unfortunately I missed the headliners show.

Man, am I glad some of you threatened and or called me names for considering not going to this show.  So cool to see a band this good play in such a small intimate setting.  I have no idea how they aren't bigger than they are.  This show was a fun dance party from start to finish.  Groovy, funky the sound was tight, I had a permagrin pretty much all night.  Plus got super close to stage with ease.  Even could go grab beers and get back to my spot without any problems.  Their stage setup is one of the cooler stages I've seen...

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

Whoa that place looks tiny... like the little club I saw them in in Philly last fall. You're lucky man... glad you got to see them.

The first time I saw Dr. Dog they played in a real tiny place, last week they sold out at Mr. Smalls in Pittsburgh witch has a 650 person capacity (witch I did not attend).

I've got their newest vinyl on the way and see they're playin' the Frendly Gathering festival, about an hour away in Vermont, June 14-16.  Any other recommendations for the noob?

Check out Shame, Shame and Fate

I speak as a try-hard die-hard (who got into the band about nine days ago and has since consumed EVERYTHING), but Easy Beat is an effin' masterpiece.

Also, just heard back from the band's manager, and they will indeed be adding more dates, including one in Toronto! So I can cancel my all-night drive to Albany for now, and await some awesome shows later in the summer!

This place the other night has a 400 person capacity and did not sell out.  Close, I'd say 350. I don't like to "fight" for a spot and will usually end up where I can watch a show comfortably.  You can see I'm pretty close in that pic and had no issues at all.  Can't stop thinking about it.  Great, great concert.


Yac, I'd soak the new album in before jumping to anything else.  It is a pretty fantastic album.  I would go with Fate next.  But, that's me.  I'm sure someone else will say I'm wrong.

Since they have a good rep as a live band, seems like the thing to do would be come to House of Blues in Boston 3/22 as I am flying solo that night.

As far as albums, I agree that the new album, plus the two above should give you lots to chew on.   Not that I'm any great expert, but I've been listening for 6 months now, and a review of current setlists showed me that captured 95% of what I need to know.

I go back and forth about whether I like Fate or Shame Shame better.

[e_wind]

Shame, Shame is awesome. Fate is awesome. But, the new record is the best. It's so damn good.

These guys have really built up quite a body of work. Each album is filled with so many gems I'd kill to see live, but it seems like they never play. Think I've found my new "follow 'em around everywhere" band.

Love your enthusiasm!  Man, if you really are that into their studio output, look forward to hearing your review of your first show.  Is the Toronto date going to be before or after Forecastle?  I hope your first show isn't a festival set.

[Ruckus]

I really can't rank their output.  Easy Beat was my introduction so it is my sentimental favorite.  I love 'em all but Fate might be my least beloved.  Used to be We All Belong.  Always changing
