Giveaway: Dr. Dog and Deer Tick at Emo's Saturday
Back in 2008, we said: "Philadelphia's Dr. Dog have been honing a sound based on a love of classic 60's rock and psychedelia. Pick up any album, and you'll see a love for Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, and The Zombies interwoven through all of the material in a loving but graceful manner. There's no doubt that the band are less concerned with being cool or indie and more interested in emulating what they love about the geniuses in their record collection." And after a decade of plugging away, the band seem to have found a career peak: new album Shame, Shame is attracting raves, the band have a new label home on Anti- (also home to Neko Case, Tom Waits, and Eddie Izzard), and their current tour is packing large clubs and small theaters across the country. Their date tomorrow at Emo's with Deer Tick has been sold out for weeks. We suspect they'll graduate to La Zona Rosa or Stubb's on their next pass through town.
