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 (bass), Zach “Text” Miller (keyboards, guitar), Frank “Thanks” McElroy (guitar) and Juston “Trouble” Stens (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.

if you have a chance to listen to/buy 'takers and leavers' or 'passed away' you won't be dissapointed. the lo-fi quality makes it better.

@ Johnny-uh-oh and jrdngc61: It absolutely sounds like the Beatles. It doesn't sound derivative, but if I want to listen to a band from the past 20 years instead of listening to the Beatles I'm going to listen to Dr. Dog. They sound like them because they make really good rock/pop music. If you don't think they sound like the Beatles you probably just need to listen to more Beatles songs then what is on the "1" album.

From a little ways out in the crowd, Scott McMicken looks quite a bit like Harry Anderson (of Night Court and Cheers fame).
