After a one-album sojourn away from their band-built recording studio Philadelphia’s Dr. Dog returned home to Meth Beach to self-produce their latest collection of gloriously ramshackle rock ‘n’ roll reveries. Out February 7, Be The Void (Dr. Dog’s second release on Anti-Records) showcases the critically adored band’s renewed commitment to cultivating a stripped-down live sound.
“This record comes from our pushing toward a rawer, more powerful, somewhat jittery competence,” explains guitarist-vocalist Scott McMicken. “We drew a lot of inspiration from soul music and the Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground-music that’s got its roots in live expression rather than that studio-perfected sort of vibe.”

I’ve been away from Portland since early December and only have a week back before I have to leave again. I just met this girl and would love to take her to a dope-ass show before the road calls my name once more.

I neeeed these tickets. Valentine’s Day is the following morning … let me have this night with Dr. Dog before I have to think about it. I mean come on, they helped me find ” the sunshine at the end of the day and oh, I found a pearl in the snow.”

One of my favorites ever since I saw them open for MMJ…would be a grand way to kick off the work week.

Dr. Dog is bomb & my funds are at an all-time low and that’s why I’d like to go!
February 8, 2012 at 20:36
oh oh oh oh!! I want to go! Please mommy let me go out, i promise ill be good. No drinking, drugs or anything….
I’ll be home by curfew, or at least after your asleep so you won’t even notice :) Come ON! Please let me go!

Primary mission: I need to go because members of Dr. Dog went to high school in New Jersey with some close friends of mine and I’d like to ask them whether or not they remember the time Courtney Flanagan fell down the bleachers during the homecoming rally*
Secondary mission: I enjoy a good concert.
*a true story that they may remember

valentines day sucks, but this awesome show would over shadow that and make it bearable this year! pllleaasssse!!!

Dr. Dog is one of our favorite bands… I’ll be out of town for V day, and this would be the best gift ever to give my husband from afar so he can take a friend to the show without feeling guilty (I’ve already told him to go without me, but he won’t!). I know he really wants to go, but is being too nice, so this would be perfect!
What’s better than the best thing ever heard?

Me:He’s sick, He’s sick, He’s sick.
Doctor: What you need is a Veterinarian
Me: Can I just split the difference and go see Dr. Dog?
Doctor: Sure, but the only perscription I can give you is more cowbell…
PS give me tickets.

A band with real ingenuity can be father and fewer in between these days. I love the balanced softy softness and spiteful energies of these guys. They make it seem like you have known them a long time and scoff at how they can charge people now.. I would be a wiser and happier fool to get to see them! and these comments among them are so fantastic!
February 9, 2012 at 15:30
I want to go!!
February 9, 2012 at 17:21
Rock me Amadeus

I’m a poor teacher who needs to kick off the week with something fun. It will make the commotion of Valentine’s deliveries and Sweetheart eating children more bearable if I actually have an enjoyable Monday night to reflect upon.
February 9, 2012 at 17:35
Been a fan of theres for a while now and would like to see what they do live.
February 9, 2012 at 17:39
Its a rowdy rager every time I’ve seen ‘em! Its jist what I need to stay warm on a cold valentines eve
February 9, 2012 at 17:46

I have regrettably missed Dr Dog EVERYTIME he’s played in my town. I must win and not make the same mistake again. Really!
February 9, 2012 at 22:29
I when I first heard this band a few years ago (on a CD a friend “lent” me and I kept), I thought “What a silly name for a band.” And then I thought “What a perfect name for a band.” And then I thought “This band is amazing, every song reminds me of a current generation of The Beatles with an incredible sophistication and whimsy” I love this band and really wish I could get a golden ticket to finally see them live. How cool would that be? Truly.

sounds like they draw from an awesome assortment of musical influences
February 9, 2012 at 23:12
I often wonder how you choose these. Is it the first, the last, the most clever, or heart felt? If it’s none of these, please pick me. Thank you.

What a stupid name for a band. Was Dr. Cat taken?
February 10, 2012 at 10:15
I’ve just discovered Dr. Dog, love them and apparently Abbie knows them somehow. All of this bodes well
February 10, 2012 at 14:55
