Dr. Dog, in the flesh

Winning the prize for “The most decorated stage that I have seen at the 9:30 club” is…Dr. Dog!! Although a never-ending head cold, coupled with a busy December, has prevented me from writing about this 2-week-old show, it definitely deserves a moment in the spotlight. Don’t let the luau theme distract you, Dr. Dog put on a well-rehearsed and thoughtful show. The set list was great—a combination of their newer stuff from Fate with their older stuff from Easy Beat and other albums. And while they had a really tight set, they somehow maintained the vibe of a band that is new/fun and excited to be doing that they are doing. It looks like they have a lineup already planned for 2009—check them out if you can!
