Really lucky to have gotten the chance to catch up again with Dog Is Dead. I met Rob and Trev last year when they toured in Manchester so was really nice to talk some more. Last time round I found out about their football tournaments in between gig dates, where their drummer nearly broke his ankle and had to postpone gigs!...It was also great to hear them talk about their EP - back then - and the album prospects.
The progression has been brilliant for the band. A bold 16-track album release followed multiple EPs at the latter end of last year and sounded so diverse. There were tracks laiden with a truly anthemic quality, almost commanding stadium audiences to recieve them. Equally there was softer and more intimate venue type songwriting.
In the bar of Sound Control, I had a chatter to the boys about last night's gig in Hull...hopefully this will whet your appetite for an in-depth talk, which I'll play out on my Q Now show this Friday from 3pm.
(Yes... I did ask Trev - with his beautiful red-head locks - whether he was the man behind the acquisition of the array of females in the video above. Tune in Friday to hear more!...)
