Littlebear Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 It may be my favorite. My opinion is that it is as good as We All Belong. I haven't heard their earlier albums. Thanks. I did correct myself above: I meant Easy Beat, not the self titled one (that I listened to last night and enjoyed). I also have We All Belong and will play it again.

lost highway Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I thought We All Belong had a bit more staying power than Fate. They are both instantaneously delightful listens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Easy Beat was quite enigmatic and mind blowing for me at the time. The others, while they are great records, haven't really touched that level of inventiveness. I think they got kind of safe after that record, not as much spontaniety and experimentation.

bobbob1313 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think the more I listen to it, the more I think Fate is their strongest record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Weird: after three listens so far, I can't seem to like this new album as much as the two previous ones. The package is superb, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I felt the same way when I first heard it, but now I think it's my favorite release of their's. It has a lot more depth than We All Belong. Definitely a more mature effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has a lot more depth than We All Belong. Definitely a more mature effort. I agree. It grows with each listen. The magic of this band doesn't only remind me of Wilco, but of the Band, and even the Beatles and the Zombies. I mean, they're creative, and you feel it, it gives that vibe I got when I first heard Summerteeth (which itself gave me Rubber Soul vibes). Who sings in this band? He's comparable to Richard Manuel and Rick Danko in some way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's comparable to Richard Manuel and Rick Danko in some way.Scott (guitar) and Toby (bass) both sing. On We All Belong and Fate, the albums start out with them singing every other song. We All Belong - Toby on odd numbers and Scott on evens until the middle where it flips (I forget who sings Weekend, but Scott definitely sings 7. Ain't It Strange). Fate is Scott on odd numbers and Toby on evens (there's a two in a row somewhere but I forget) Toby has the rougher sounding voice, more Band-like, where Scott's reminds me more of the Beatles.

stooka Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Toby has a great voice that is even better live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I really loved Fate when it came out and wanted to explore their back catalog, but so much new music has come out that I haven't got the chance to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 "Easy Beat" was finally released on vinyl recently for those who don't know. Can't wait to see them in December in DC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 shit. April 11th is the same night as Andrew Bird... luckily that show should be done by 10:30-11 at the latest, so I can hopefully pull a double header Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Oh man, the Chameleon Club is tiny. That would be a great place to see them, but I have to teach at 9 the next morning almost five hours away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'll be going to the Toronto date as I am already down there for Andrew Bird on the Friday, yusssssss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 just remembered when Dr. Dog was here in fall of '07, was the same night as Wilco WITH Andrew Bird opening and that double header worked out fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've looked around but can't find which opening acts are for which dates. I'm assuming by the announcement that Seth Kauffman/Floating Action will more than likely open for Feb. How about the rest? Anyone know something more concrete?

Anyone know something more concrete?It is on their website, but I don't see Floating Action on any dates. Weird? : http://drdogmusic.com/shows.shtml Drug Rug for February. The Tampa show is Drug Rug & Win Win Winter. April is Cave Singers and Golden Boots. Cave Singers will not be at Seattle or PA shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks for the info - Floating Action seems to only be playing with Dr Dog in Asheville on Feb 12th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chanman1128 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Just got my tix for April 3rd in Boston. I saw them once before in Northampton...they are great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k8tee Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm thinking about doing the Andrew Bird/Dr. Dog double header in Chicago on April 10. We have AB tix already, but Dr. Dog is one of those band's I've been wanting to see in a small venue for a while. Hmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 On my way to see them now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The DD boys are hosting a live show on WXPN Philly right now. It's easy to find online. Sir Douglas Quintet as we speak. I'll be catching the Charlottesville show in a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hollinger. Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 just remembered when Dr. Dog was here in fall of '07, was the same night as Wilco WITH Andrew Bird opening and that double header worked out fine They played in Davenport the same night as the Wilco/Andrew Bird show and were scheduled to go on "whenever the Wilco crowd gets here."
