Dr. Dog Sign with Anti-Records

This is a band I've been following for years now and after 4 amazing studio albums, we have some great news to report and the announcement of a North American tour.

The good news: Signed to "Anti- Records", also the home to some of the greats like Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Mavis Staples.

The more good news: They are in the works on a brand new album due out in early 2010 described to be similar to but different from the stuff we've heard so far. A lot of which has to do with Dr. Dog coming together as a band as opposed to just a musical project over the years.

As I said previously, this band has been in my top top TOP bands for many years now and I've seen them LIVE in everything from small dank bars to outdoor festivals and they ALWAYS please. Highly reccomend you catch them on this tour if you can...and tell your friends. This is one of those bands where you'll be, "That Guy" who introduces someone to their new favorite music.
