Dog's Life

drdog.jpg

Dr. Dog's Fate came out on Park the Van yesterday. An interview with the band is in today's Inquirer. Fate is streaming in its entirety at the band's My Space page. The accidental head butt in the neck that Toby Leaman took from his wife while floating on an inner tube has caused him to lose his voice and the band to reschedule its New York City dates this week for late August. They're still due to play Rittenhouse Square for free on Aug. 13 as part of the Philadelphia Weekly's summer concert series, however. The album cover for Fate, by the way, is a weaved depiction of Bonnie and Clyde posing for photographers while on the lam in the 1930s that the band bought from a artist/bartender in Chicago last year. The oversized original hangs in their studio. Scott McMicken is not shown in the old, bearded photo above. He's replaced by some guy in green who clearly wishes he was in Dr. Dog. Here's a video of "The Old Days," from Conan last week.
