Philadelphia, United States (1999 – present)
Dr. Dog is a psychedelic rock group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which formed in 1999. The current lineup consists of Scott “Taxi” McMicken (vocals, guitar), Toby “Tables” Leaman (vocals, bass), Zach “Text” Miller (keyboards, guitar), Frank “Thanks” McElroy (guitar) and Eric “Teach” Slick (drums).
“There’s a little folk, blues, indie rock, soul, bluegrass—and a whole lot of down-home harmonizing. It conjures images of old friends sitting on a porch swapping instruments and just letting the tape recorder run.” - Doug Wallen
Dr. Dog has been creating music in various incarnations for a good four years now. Beginning with The Psychedelic Swamp, a concept album realized in the damp ruin of a flooded basement with waterlogged guitars and a digital delay pedal, the band has simmered on the back burner of our musical lives for most of its existence but we’ve recently renewed our resolve to forge ahead and give Dr. Dog the attention we think it deserves.
Although Dr. Dog has as many as 20 honorary “members” who have assisted in various (mostly spiritual) capacities through the years, the core of the band consists of five musicians. Our standard instrumentation includes two guitars, bass, drums, keyboard and three part harmonies. The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Tom Waits, David Bowie and Neil Young are influences, but we would be remiss in not acknowledging our debt to Pavement, Palace Brothers, R. Stevie Moore or Roy Wood.

but surprised to say, the bonus tracks are so awesome that they make up for the not so great ones on the real record!

id say the new album is great! it definitely is lacking with its lyrics and genre changing variety they had on the previous ones, but it has enough hits for me to be satisfied! seeing how they are playing with new sounds on this album shows that it just didnt work very well for a good half of the songs on the album. but hey im all for not making the same record over again so sometimes making these risks are nessesary!

don't know them well enough to compare the new record to their previous, but it's certainly decent enough

It deeply pains me to admit that the new album is weak. I don't know, something about those drums, and the doo wop has turned into just a faint and low sound. Their worst album, for sure. Still, some of the lyrics are still a-ok, Scott rhymes are fairly good.

Whaaaat? Shame, Shame was great. I'm not that into the new one, it seems like their weakest yet.

I have given up hope that they will ever make another album as good as Fate. With that being said, Be the Void is a huge improvement after Shame, Shame. Some of the tracks are really good.
