The Doctor Is In

dr_dog

In light of tonight’s Dr. Dog show at the Mad Hatter, I thought I’d give those of you not familiar with this band a little taste of their sound with a track from their latest record, Fate.

Dr. Dog, “The Old Days” Get Adobe Flash player

Fate is the fifth studio album from this Philadelphia quintet, which was released last summer. They’ve done a nice job at cramming in elements of blues, bluegrass, indie-folk, pop, psychedelia, rock and soul for a rather unique sound that feels as if it could have been created decades ago. The vocal harmonies of this band come inspired from the greats like The Beatles, Beach Boys and The Band, but they also draw inspiration from great indie-rock bands of the 90′s like Guided By Voices and Pavement.

If you like what you hear, check out some of their albums like We All Belong, Easy Beat and Toothbrush, or come out to the show tonight at the Mad Hatter in Covington. Doors open at 8 pm. Also on the bill is the sometimes-humorous, folk/singer-songwriter, Jeffrey Lewis. And please remember to support musician’s by buying their music or merchandise or going to shows!
