Philly based Dr. Dog performed a free show at Apple Store Soho to celebrate the release of their new album, Shame, Shame. I managed to be the first person in line and thus, got a seat in the second row (the front row was reserved). The band played 8 songs, including "Stranger" and "Shadow People." The band was joined by a sixth member playing percussion. I enjoyed the bassist and guitarist switching vocals. One song was sung by the bassist, the next was by the guitarist and back and fourth. they went While the band's rockin' sound was mostly good, there were times when the music would speed it up or there'd be a jam but it would sound awkwardly placed. One line that stood out was “losing my voice barking at the wrong tree.” Isn't that too often the case? I thought so. The last song was interesting. It got loud all of a sudden, which threw me off, and being right in front of the speaker, it didn't sound good. But the crowd seemed to dig it. Dr. Dog mix indie rock, folk, and soul together for a nice sound.
Dr. Dog plays at Termiinal 5 on May 15 with Deer Tick.
