Dr. Dog

The [Dr. Dog] show started in an almost cult-like environment as the stage was adorned with abstract stain glass art that emitted a strange yet awe-inspiring light. As the band entered the stage, tribal hymns were piped through the sound system and the crowd greeted them with deafening applause. I felt as though I was entering the Temple of Dr. Dog and was about to take part in a right of passage or ritual into the band’s world. The opening note was the monotone ring of Miller’s organ as McMicken cried out the first line of “I Only Wear Blue,” one of the more memorable tracks off the new record. It only got better from that point as Dr. Dog pleased the crowd with songs off all their records. The set featured a great balance of slower songs (“I Only Wear Blue,” “Shadow People,” and “The Breeze”) and fast jams (“The Rabbit, the Bat, and the Reindeer,” “Stranger,” and “Mirror Mirror”) that kept the entire venue swaying and jumping the entire night. Some memorable tunes were the band’s cover of Architecture in Helsinki’s “Heart It Races” (complete with an interpretive dance performance by a friend of the band), “The Ark,” and “The Beach.” -[Philadelphia City Paper]

Dr. Dog played Terminal 5 on Friday night, 2/18 (a week before the Philly date, reviewed above) as part of their stint of East Coast dates with The Head and The Heart which concluded Saturday in Boston.

Phantogram was originally scheduled to be on board for the Terminal 5 date, but were replaced by Jeffrey Lewis following a family emergency.

If you missed the show on Friday, The Head & The Heart are teaming with Daniel Wayne to play Maxwell’s TONIGHT (2/21). Tickets are still on sale.

Dr. Dog recently released a video of “I Only Wear Blue” made with compiled tour footage. Check that video out, as well as more NYC pictures and the T5 setlist below…
