HeavenDr. Dog has been creating music in various incarnations in their hometown of Philadelphia for nearly six years now. From the humblebeginnings of THE PSYCHEDELIC SWAMP, a concept album realized in the damp ruin of a flooded basement, through the criticallyacclaimed EASY BEAT (2005) the band has cultivated a strong national following through their energetic live shows. They spent the betterpart of 2006 in the studio cooking up two new releases: a six song EP called TAKERS AND LEAVERS, which will be released worldwide onSept 12, 2006, and WE ALL BELONG, a long player that will see the light of day February 27, 2007.The early years of Dr. Dog were spent largely in and around Philadelphia until the spring of 2004, when the band was invited to tour with MyMorning Jacket after MMJ front man Jim James heard Dr. Dog’s first non-concept album TOOTHBRUSH. Using the money they raised onthe MMJ tour, the band added a microphone to their home studio and recorded their second album EASY BEAT.The band first released EASY BEAT on their own, selling it at shows and through the mail in cases where a generation of emailers werewilling to put a check in an envelope and buy a stamp in return for a copy of the album. While not the most technologically savvy means ofdelivery the method worked to build a fan base outside of Philly for Dr. Dog and even caught the attention of a few journalists along the way.Along with Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, Fader and many others, The Philadelphia Inquirer raved EASY BEAT is an“ infectiousdebut album ... Beach Boys-style three part harmonies layered over skewed bouncy rock songs." The New York Times went on to call EASYBEAT an “ extraordinary catalog of off kilter ballads and light-headed riff rock ... All nine songs, filled with breezy vocal harmonies andunexpected digressions ... epic."For more information please contact:jennifer.mcleod@fontananorth.com
